Pd, Schlein launches membership. "Ukraine? Conflicts are not resolved only with weapons"

New team at the Nazareno and enrollment are the first steps of the new Pd secretary Elly Schlein.

This was announced yesterday as a guest on Che tempo che fa . "I feel the weight of responsibility," she said, addressing "the democratic wave" that poured into the polling stations in the primaries: "I am moved by the contribution of women and young people, those who have been most crushed by the economic crisis and from the pandemic. This victory makes sense if we build a new Democratic Party".

The Schlein-branded party wants to distance itself from the logic of currents and divisions: "We must keep this community together, safeguard pluralism, but without giving up a clear direction".

As for membership, it seems that the platform has already gone haywire twice: «On Monday, just after the victory, I had already announced that we would reopen as soon as possible and I am pleased to announce that we did it online and are already working with the clubs to be able to do it all over the country. I appeal to the people of the primaries : come, we need you, come and be part of this democratic community".

On the convergence with the Cinquestelle "I believe that on concrete issues we have found the need and desire for an effective and orderly opposition".

Among these is the public school, from which she herself comes: «Yes, it's true: I studied in Switzerland, but attending only public schools. I come from a very normal middle-class family which, on the contrary, I thank for the sacrifices made to help me and my brothers study. So let's deny the fake news that has been circulating about me these days".

As for the position on the war in Ukraine "we have already voted on this in Parliament, we need to support the Ukrainian people with respect to a criminal invasion, this has never been questioned" but " there can be no left without the ambition to build a future of peace ".

«Conflicts - he added - cannot be resolved only with weapons , I would like a strong protagonism of the EU from a political and diplomatic point of view, a strong role because Putin is not isolated, there are still many countries that support him. We need to be able to put even more pressure to build a terrain that can lead to an end to this conflict".
