Democratic Party (PD) leader Elly
Schlein proposed that the parties opposed to Premier Giorgia
Meloni's ruling centre-right coalition form shifting alliances
on specific issues to boost their efforts to make an impact as
she took part in The European House Ambrosetti (TEHA) Forum at
Cernobbio on Lake Como on Sunday.
Schlein, who had talks with 5-Star Movement (M5S) leader
Giuseppe Conte and Carlo Calenda, the head of the centrist
Azione group, said the opposition should work in the same way
that the groups do in the European Parliament.
"Majorities are built on dossiers and content there," Schlein
said.
"It's an approach that I agree with a great deal and that has
led us to have dialogue with Carlo Calenda and other political
parties".
The first common front for the opposition parties is the
national health system, with Calenda launching a proposal to
find the financial coverage to be able to inject four billion
euros into it.
"'Let's work on it together,'.Schlein said in relation to this.
Conte, meanwhile, backed the idea of introducing a tax on
corporations' surplus profits, saying this would be "good and
fair".
He also said the State could find revenue by "cutting
environmentally harmful subsidies" such as those benefitting
fossil-fuel projects, saying this would provide "room to build
an expansive economic policy".
