“There are many citizens asking us when we will manage to agree on the program. We are running to govern and I am convinced that the conditions are there to do so. But governing means clearly stating what we want to do with Italy. We have already put forward some fundamental issues, but on some topics we need to clarify. I am thinking of foreign policy: it is necessary to restore international law, because Trump, Netanyahu, and Putin are building a world order based on military supremacy.” Thus Angelo Bonelli, Avs deputy and co-spokesperson of Europa Verde, guest of the program L’aria che tira on La7.
“On the primaries – he adds – tacticalism on the name of the prime ministerial candidate is prevailing over the real issue: the future of the country. First comes the construction of a shared program, then the candidate. Primaries are not the devil, but they must be preceded by a clear programmatic agreement. And if they are held, I make a proposal: let’s nominate a partisan, or the president of one of the committees of the families of the victims of fascist massacres, from Piazza Fontana to Bologna station. It would not be a fake or purely symbolic candidacy: it would serve to remind that our democracy was born from the Resistance and the anti-fascist partisan struggle, opposing the design of a right wing that wants to attack the prerogatives of the Head of State. So if the primaries have to be held, let them be held, but only after serious joint work on the program.”

“There is also a problem of deep social injustice. The government approved yet another decree on fuels, giving away over 2.6 billion euros to oil companies in four months, while energy in Italy remains among the most expensive in Europe. The money for pensioners, public health, salaries, and the fight against the climate crisis, instead, is never found. In four years – Bonelli emphasizes – the government has spent 38 billion euros trying to reduce the cost of energy and fuels. The result? Fuels are skyrocketing, energy is among the most expensive in Europe, and energy companies have made 80 billion euros in extra profits. Meanwhile, energy poverty has increased, forcing more and more people not to even turn on air conditioners because they cannot afford it.” “Our system is parliamentary in which the president of the Republic plays a fundamental role of guarantee and it is the Head of State who appoints the prime minister. The trap of Giorgia Meloni’s electoral law is the will to drag the country towards presidentialism and a model with a man or a woman alone in command, without the counterbalances of Parliament,” he concludes.
