Milan, Oct. 27 (LaPresse) – As for the leadership of the centre-left, “I think it is right for the citizens to choose. At this point, there will be primaries. I hope all the other candidates will be part of a team and will never be my opponents, otherwise we will be off to a very bad start.” Five Star Movement President Giuseppe Conte said this on La7’s ‘Tagadà’. “We condemned without any hesitation” the incidents in the streets on October 16 and 17. “Many people are protesting, especially young people, who are tired of being made fools of,” without “the prospect of a better future than their parents had,” Conte added. Young people “are fed up: what are you offering us? They are asking for real incentives to rent a home and take out a mortgage to buy one,” he added. “The government says it will build more juvenile detention centres, while they want more job opportunities. Young people want a different future, and the government responds with security decrees?” he stressed. “Security cannot be a slogan or propaganda. If you issue eight security decrees, you are telling citizens that you are incapable. If things continue like this, there will be a ninth and a tenth. Of course security is important, but can we guarantee it with a law published in the Official Gazette? Giorgia Meloni, who bears even greater responsibility than the interior minister, told us that Italy had record figures in Europe, and that was not true.” Have they lost touch with reality? “Obviously,” Conte concluded.
Centre-left, Conte: “It is right to choose among several candidates; they will not be opponents”
