By voting in just one day it will be very difficult to reach a quorum and obviously someone does not want the Italians to express themselves on an issue that has been tearing the country apart for 40 years. The referendum is the first important stage of a reform process that we started with the Cartabia reform, which however is not our reform and which we will complete when we come to the government “.

I hope that, from the stage in Naples, a clear stance will emerge in favor of Ukraine, the European Union, NATO and the West. Today more than listening to the words of Putin must listen to the cry of pain of Ukraine, raped and oppressed by the invader “.
