In a Cava dei Tirreni about to host the light atmosphere of Saturday night, meeting at Mars with Emma Bonino and the candidates Giuseppe Scognamiglio and Filomena Gallo, multi-member candidates for Parliament with the Più Europa list. In a packed room, the leader of the electoral formation entertained those present with her usual passion on the challenges that our country will have to face in the imminent future.
In his speech he spoke of the importance of consolidating and expanding the infrastructures present in the territory, of the need to create a real link between school and the world of work through a reorganization of the University, of the attention to be paid to legality to break free from the mentality that sees welfare and familyism as the only solutions to solve the problems that grip today's reality, especially in the South. He recalled the value of unity in a country like ours threatened by secessionist ideas that also hover in a Europe increasingly uncertain about its coalition. He mentioned the devastation of structural funds destined for Italy for interventions in favor of the community, often returned for not having been used within the expected timeframe; of the need to have a political class capable of implementing long-term planning that includes structural interventions that take into account the continuous transformist pushes underway in an increasingly interconnected world.
Bonino is a woman who has dedicated her life to politics, holding the most important positions in the Republic as well as in the Radical Party. A staunch supporter of the fight for abortion and divorce in the 70s, in the years that followed she has always taken a political and personal stance in support of the battles in defense of all forms of discrimination and crimes against humanity, war and genocide, and in opposition to all dictatorships. A down-to-earth and straightforward personality, typical of someone like her who spent her early years on a farm in the countryside of Bra, in the province of Cuneo in Piedmont. A member of the Chamber of Deputies and the European Parliament, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vice-President of the Senate of the Republic, Minister of International Trade, Minister of European Policies, European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Consumer Protection, Senator of the Italian Republic. Disarming in her simplicity and strong in her convictions, the result of her knowledge of what she is talking about, a characteristic not to be taken for granted in her political colleagues, she offers a model of unusual and never banal coherence. She is one of the few political representatives who answers questions even when they are uncomfortable and is capable of admitting errors of judgment. Bonino is a person who has chosen in life not to give in to easy sentimentality; she unknowingly embodies a reference of a woman in politics, modern and capable of expressing a femininity free from the usual clichés and therefore convincing. Free from any form of disenchantment, she invites us to look to the future with hope, to live the role of citizen voters with responsibility, regardless of political beliefs; to inform ourselves about what we should express consent or disagreement for seriously.
