«We all work together, in a choral way, we need an orchestra that plays the same score. Discussions and criticisms are fine, but so is loyalty on the issues that unite us . You'll never have to convince me that the secretary alone isn't enough, I've said that from the start. I believe in teamwork, in collective leadership. It's up to me to try to keep you together in the clarity of the political line that emerged from the congress".

Elly Schlein said this in the introductory report of the Pd leadership at the Nazareno precisely in the days of the controversy over his participation in the M5s procession, launching a warning to sailors: « If someone does not like this line, admit it and find no other excuses. Those who look for the accident every day will always find me on the other side ».

“Now is the time to mobilize the whole party on our agenda for Italy and Europe. I received a clear mandate, to rebuild a clear identity of the party, which makes us recognizable, because if you try to represent everything and the opposite of everything, you risk not representing anyone and leaving room for others », said the secretary.

Schlein highlighted the need to unite the alternative forces to the right : «There was a strong psychodrama on the administrative defeat, but we don't take more demerits than we have. The right has a coalition that even when it splits it then reunites and we don't have that coalition today . We have not lost alone but we do not think we are self-sufficient, we must build synergies with the alternative forces to the right".

Alliances chapter: « With M5s there are enormous distances over Ukraine, but at work we can combine our efforts. If Calenda calls me at one of his demonstrations, I also greet you there, but I remain against the mayor of Italy ».

On Ukraine: «We have always been clear and linear. Full support for defense even with military aid, but let's not abandon the prospect of a just peace , let's make our own Mattarella's words not to divert the search for a haven for peace. A left-wing force like ours cannot dismiss the word peace".

From the internal situation of the party to the criticisms of the government. « On the abuse of office open to a reform, but the repeal is contrary to European legislation . The justice reform as a whole is the mountain that gave birth to the little mouse with just a few spot interventions».

Again, on taxes: « It is a shame that a Prime Minister speaks of state protection money, it is unacceptable for the ideology that underlies and winks at tax evaders . We will continue to defend the constitutional principle of fiscal progressivity and the fight against tax evasion".

Again: "The government throws itself on ideological flags every day because it only knows how to ride fears, but cannot give answers". The enemies of this right, continues Schlein, are "Europe, migrants, the different and the Lgbtq+ community".

Finally, a jab at Renzi : « I am sorry that he supports the right-wing candidate in Molise . He cannot give lessons in subordination, given that he immediately invited Berlusconi to the Nazarene".
