The presence of Elly Schlein in Soveria Mannelli is a small historical fact for the center because it is the first national party secretary that visits this country. He talked about internal areas that need listening and attention, and public health to defend, and visited the Leo and Rubbettino publisher, as excellence of the area.
“Our commitment to internal areas does not arise now in an electoral context comes from a long journey that has been enriched with listening to the comparison and that puts concrete solutions in place starting from what our administrators teach us every day on how to improve the quality of life of people in an internal area like this”. This was said by the secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein, right in Soveria Mannelli, the first stage of a tour in various Calabrian locations for the election campaign for the next regional regions in support of Pasquale Tridico.
“We – he added – are and we will be available”.
«We certainly need to change because this region has not shown in recent years, it pains saying it, special attention to internal areas. Services, housing policies, support for the home are needed, you need to take care of the roads, transport. All this is needed. Above all, it is necessary to restore hope to the Calabrians, because the Calabrians are not citizens of Serie B ».
The secretary of the Democratic Party has invoked interventions for healthcare, for school, “school leaving and educational poverty data are also high in Calabria and in this region we have 48% of risk of social exclusion. We must not accept it – he said – as a unchangeable data. We have to believe in school because a country that does not believe in his school does not believe in his future. This means paying the teachers better and ensuring that schools are a place of collective growth where the children point to social emancipation because today in Italy if you are born in a poor family you risk remaining poor. The other priority is work. We are beating for a minimum salary because under 9 euros per hour it is not work, it is exploitation and too many guys also in Calabria make the choice to leave. Since they are capable, competent, intelligent, they want redemption and are thirsty for the future we must support them to create an opportunity here in Calabria. This is the commitment that Pasquale Tridico and the Democratic Party took when he says to return to live in Calabria. Staying living in Calabria must be a right that we want to sanction in this election campaign where we also put industrial policies in the center ».
Elly Schlein then went to Vibo Valentia.
