"The Democratic Party is committed to the referendums, on Monday at 11:30 we will be in front of all the regional offices of Rai to protest the blackout of the electoral appointment of June 8 and 9.

This was stated by Elly Schlein on the sidelines of the National Assembly of Fillea Cgil in Brescia.

Homophobia: Schlein, 'in the square for rights, we need a law and also equal marriage

"Attention must remain absolutely high, there are still those who allow themselves to ban Pride by law, there is a lot of discrimination against LGBTQ+ people. Italy is very low in the rankings for defense and promotion of rights, for this reason the Democratic Party will be in the square with the associations in Rome to demonstrate and give all our support. We need a law against homosexuality and transphobia in Italy like the one that the right-wing government wanted to bury, we need equal marriage and also the recognition of the rights of the children of homoparental couples". Elly Schlein said this in Villanuova.

Internal Areas: Schlein, 'the government is doing the opposite of what is needed'

"The internal areas are forgotten by this government, which has now issued its condemnation, Foti said that the depopulation of the internal areas is difficult to reverse. It is an excuse and a surrender of the government". Elly Schlein said this in Villanuova sul Clisi (Bs). "If you want to avoid depopulation you can do it but you have to bring services, the opposite of what the right-wing government is doing, it hasn't put a single euro more, they have cut 1 billion and 700 million from the provinces to do what? The bridge over the Strait of Messina. The government is doing the opposite of what is needed and then says that there is nothing to do, it is an excuse", added the secretary of the Democratic Party.
