«The failure of Roberto Occhiuto, his resignation and the challenge that he has launched to the judiciary certify the darkest moment in the history of Calabrian regionalism. In some respects, a dramatic moment. It now competes with the center -left deployment to take on the task and the responsibility to restore hope to the Calabrians ». Enzo Maraio, National Secretary of the PSI says so.
“The unit of reformists and progressives – he continues – is a necessary condition to store bankruptcy management. To every force, courage and generosity is required. Any form of quarrels must be avoided and do not re -propose vetoes and prejudices. We must put in place an alliance capable of winning and governing well, women and men of proven abilities ». «We socialists, who here in Calabria have marked pages of civil and economic growth – concludes Maraio – we are there. In many administrations the model of a large and plural alliance has proven to be a winner. You can continue to enlarge with shared programs. Without any presumption or self -sufficiency and without renouncing to recognize the strength of some proposals for candidacy for the presidency of the Region who have so far characterized the discussion within the center -left, we believe we will make available to Calabria the decisive contribution of the socialists and in particular of managers and administrators who have been able to win and govern “.
