No statement was released after talks with the President of the Republic by representatives of parliamentary groups while, in an open letter addressed yesterday to Nicola Zingaretti, secretary of the PD, and Luigi Di Maio, political leader of the 5 Star Movement, Senator Pietro Grasso he asked the two political leaders to form a new government lasting 3 years.

“This is not the time for tactics, personalities, partisan interests, be they small or large. It is time to serve Italy in the noblest way that politics can do. [...] Dear Nicola, dear Luigi, a government is needed that forever archives the season of anger, of beasts on social media, of hatred, of contempt for institutions of the Republic. Let's build it on an agenda that will do the job; that restores dignity to people; that defends and invests in school, health, research, innovation; that promotes social justice; who fight against the climate emergency. Let's use the next 3 years to really realize the project of a different Italy. The numbers are there, just want it and don't fall into the traps of crossed vetoes. We do not hand the country over to uncertainty or - even worse - to Salvini's right. It would be the biggest mistake ”.
