«We are here to support with all our strength the candidacy for mayor of Massimo Zedda, who has already demonstrated that he knows how to do good for this city, for its community».
The secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein arrives in Cagliari after some stops in southern Sardinia for her electoral tour in view of the European and local elections. «It is a joy for me to come and support him together with the entire Democratic Party, its candidates, its candidates», he underlines from Piazza Garibaldi in Cagliari. «The priority is public health, defense against cuts - reiterates Schlein into the microphones and then on stage in front of around 500 people - the waiting lists are endless, we need services for people with disabilities, and we no longer want to hear from the right attacks on disabled people."
And again «quality work especially for young Sardinians who deserve an opportunity for a future in this land, without more precarious contracts and without more poor work , which is why we insist on the minimum wage and on common European investments, which this city will know make the most of it with Massimo mayor." The dem secretary then reiterated her commitment to the minimum wage and the abolition of free internships for young people.
The energy transition
On the topic of the energy transition, «we clearly have an ecological conversion to do, Alessandra Todde's regional council is finally trying to provide the regional planning that has been missing in the five years of right-wing government, which is essential to avoid speculation and certainly not to stop the progress of clean and renewable energy , which will be able to save both families and businesses on their bills", he said. Therefore "a necessary step but it must be done with criteria, with regional planning naturally involving local communities".
The attack on Prime Minister Meloni
There was no shortage of attacks on Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni who «went to Madrid, surrounded by nationalists nostalgic for Franco's dictatorship and friends of Trump. And there he said that the left erases identity. One day he will explain to us what it means ."
"In this year and a half that you have been in government, you are helping to erase people's freedom, because if you have a starvation wage and cannot take care of yourself, you are not fully free", states Schlein in front of the audience of sympathizers. «Here we are in a land that is particularly proud of its roots and its identity and I reminded Giorgia Meloni that we too are proud of an identity that is first and foremost an anti-fascist identity as is our Constitution . We wish she could say the same too since she swore by it. And so with this identity we work for a Europe of the rights of all and of women's rights."
And speaking of women, for Schlein «it is incredible that the only concrete thing that Meloni has done on public health was to let anti-abortionists enter the clinics to put violent pressure on women and girls who want to choose voluntary termination of pregnancy. We will defend women's rights to choose about their own bodies ." «I have always said that there is a big difference between female leadership and feminist leadership - reiterated the Democratic secretary -. And the meaning is that we don't make much use of a female prime minister if she doesn't fight every day to improve the living and working conditions of all the other women in this country."
