WHAT DID ENRICO LETTA, NEW SECRETARY OF THE PD.THE POINT OF AGI .

"I have not left everything to guide you to a defeat, I am here because if we do what I have proposed together, Italy will follow us". Enrico Letta speaks to the Democratic Party who elects him eighth secretary with 860 votes out of about a thousand delegates and urges his party first of all not to consider the next elections already written: "we are alternatives to the right of Salvini and Meloni" and "we will challenge the League on the territory ".

"You do not need a new secretary but a new Democratic Party" the former prime minister cuts short. Who puts his proposals in line and offers them to the discussion of the circles: "Tomorrow we will publish a vademecum on how to do it and then we will meet again in the Assembly" he announces immediately after the election to lead the party.

The political method that Letta proposes is clear: support the Draghi government, dialogue with the entire center-left including the M5s, open the Democratic Party by overcoming the currents ("which after days I have not yet understood") and looking at young people and women. But above all, the former premier launches some qualifying proposals: the vote for sixteen-year-olds, the ius soli, the shareholding of workers in companies, the reform against the "transformation" of shirt changes in Parliament, constructive mistrust and a new electoral law passing the Rosatellum. Proposals, especially the ius soli, which attract attention, arousing enthusiasm in the center-left and criticism on the right. A polarization that immediately makes it clear which side the Democratic Party is on, faithful to Draghi but with his identity.

The change of mentality proposed by Letta is at the end of the intervention, more than an hour in the silence of a room emptied of streaming due to the pandemic. The unspoken in recent months, the former prime minister reveals, was: “'Let's keep the Draghi government alive as much as possible because so much has already been written: when you go to vote with this right you lose'. It is not so. This is the reasoning of those who say that a lot is lost and therefore let's divide what is left over. I did not leave my previous life to come and guide you in a defeat "," I am here because I know that if we do together what I have tried to share with you this morning, Italy in its majority will follow us again ".

Then the future secretary draws his road map. Now the Draghi government is supported, of which the Democratic Party must be "the engine" because it is "our government", but in the meantime we must "build after". The Democratic Party will have to be central, challenging towards the allies, it will have to "build a new center-left on the initiative and leadership of the Democratic Party". For this Letta announces that he will speak with everyone: Speranza, Bonino, Calenda, Renzi, Bonelli, Fratoianni and obviously with Giuseppe Conte's M5s, of which however.

For this task an "open" Pd will be needed, which overcomes the currents with which the party "does not work" and becomes a "tower of Babel"; the "new Democratic Party" must be a party that overcomes the problem of gender equality, that "makes young people talk", that "stops looking at the navel" and leaves the historic centers, regaining leadership on the central issues of the future, on the global challenges that Italy faces: climate, pandemic, data protection and digital innovation. “Without leaving anyone excluded”.

Then many proposals on different fronts. The vote for sixteen year olds, the ius soli, the shareholding for company employees, the Italian citizenship to Patrick Zaki, And among the objectives in addition to gender equality, restore dignity to teachers, reopen the conversation with the social partners, dialogue with large and small companies, internationalize the Italian company. And on the institutional level, the reform of the parties, the stop to changes of shirt in Parliament, a new electoral law and constructive reform.

The horizon of the Democratic Party is clear: Biden's America and the new EU that has overcome selfishness and has fielded the Next generation. A plan, the one to overcome the pandemic, which if Italy and Spain implement well, it is hoped will become a structural method. While there is a need for a new European plan for migrants, different from the current one.

The Pantheon of Letta is easy to say. Among the people mentioned is Pope Francis, and there is Sergio Mattarella. Then there are Jacques Delors and Romano Prodi, sincere thanks to Nicola Zingaretti, Berlinguer an indirect reminder of the importance of being Enrico and leading a party, Beniamino Andreatta the thought of the student.

"I'm not here for a secret pact" clarifies Letta, there is a lot of work to be done and will begin with the two weeks of consultation with the circles, then the new secretariat, a meeting with the three parliamentary groups and in the autumn of the democratic Agora to discuss the model party. “We will give it our all, I will give it our all” he assures after the election (860 yes out of about a thousand). The vote is a plebiscite, the comments of the various currents are enthusiastic, the real work will begin tomorrow and the knots could come to a head. For today Letta collects the coupon "Your trust is a great honor".
