Rome, 11 Nov. (Adnkronos) – "Emilia Romagna is one of the last remaining strongholds and you should not be surprised by how the climate has heated up in the last weeks, in the last days, in the last hours. They always do it when they are afraid of losing power. The left has governed this nation for fifty-four years. To give you an idea, since when the president of the United States was Nixon, the Soviet Union was still there, China was led by Mao Tse Tung and in place of the European Union there was still the European Economic Community and the Beatles came out with Let it be. And then one wonders why the left still uses slogans from the '70s...". These are the words of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, speaking via video link at the demonstration promoted in Bologna by the centre-right in support of the candidate for governor of Emilia Romagna Elena Ugolini.
"So you can choose to stay frozen or you can choose to discover what comes next, let's say the ice age. To discover what this region would be with a president who doesn't care what card you have in your pocket and who only wants to free the many, too many unexpressed potentials of this extraordinary region. Elena and the center-right's program can ultimately be summed up above all in one word: do, do as the Emilia-Romagna people know how to do. Do as the entrepreneurs and companies of this territory do every day in silence. Do as all workers do even in the most difficult moments, like the earthquake of 2012 or the flood of 2023. When they were able to react, get back up... and look, it makes me smile to hear someone from the left who takes credit for this ability, for these restarts. The credit goes to the women and men who operate, work, live in this territory and who have never stopped doing their part and the difference between us and them and that we don't think we have to take credit for them. We just want to put them in a position to do what they do best."
