The senator Nicola Irtooutgoing secretary of the Democratic Party in Calabria, proposes its candidacy to lead the party in the region. To formalize it was the same iro in a press conference in Rende, at the headquarters of the University of Calabria, during which he presented the contents of the motion “re-generation: territory, identity, future” with which he intends to relaunch the commitment “for a party near the territories, rooted in the Calabrian identity and projected towards the future”.
“I believe that the regional congress that we will celebrate in mid -May – said Irto – represents for us an opportunity not only to discuss our internal issues, but also to create the alternative to the right in Calabria and, in perspective, throughout the country. We have the task of relaunching the Calabrian question at national level. Construction of a very large field of forces that, without vessels or prejudices, must put together to fight a right that has shown that it is far from the needs and hopes of the Calabrians. Together with the allies we will then understand which synthesis and with which candidate or candidate president this project can be better interpreted to present itself at the next regional elections ».
Irto also announced the presence in the coming months in Calabria of the secretary Elly Schlein. “The secretary, just this morning – said the parliamentarian – accepted my invitation to visit a Calabrian hospital garrison. Today the theme of health is the drama of the Calabrians, who are not guaranteed the right to take care of. We are at the lowest moment for the health of our region. For this they need a strong awareness and a party that is next to the needs of citizens ».
