Elly Schlein (Pd): “Giorgia Meloni can be beaten if we stay united”

Democratic Party Secretary Elly Schlein gave herself a “good goodbye” to celebrate Alessandra Todde's victory in Sardinia. And today, in an interview with Republic he says that “a good signal has arrived from the island: this is our first reconquista and it will not be the last, this is my message for Giorgia Meloni”. While the next step is the challenge of Abruzzo, “where the complete center-left this time can have another surprise in store for us. But also the construction of the field of alternatives, on which I have worked from the beginning with a stubbornly united spirit. Sunday's victory demonstrates two things: that the Prime Minister is not unbeatable and that if we are together, everything becomes possible.” But the result demonstrates above all that “if we are united, the right can be beaten.

Unity and victory

Even if “Sardinia is not a land of national trials, it has a history and its own specificity, but here something happened. Not only did Truzzu lose, but he lost the Prime Minister who arrogantly imposed his candidate, distancing him from Salvini. They landed on the island with great fanfare, sure of victory, and received a fatal blow, for which Meloni must take full responsibility. Like, how? “Remain stubbornly united to build a solid project on the issues, around credible candidates. We have already started working together on major subjects: the minimum wage, public health, safeguarding the Pnrr, equal leave, industrial policies, on which a discussion has also started with Calenda. Points on which to begin to outline our vision of the country. Finding convergence without losing coherence is possible and necessary.”
