The centre-left opposition
Democratic Party (PD) must "restart" from the jeers it received
at Saturday's State funeral for Genoa bridge collapse victims,
PD leader Maurizio Martina said Monday.
"We must restart from those jeers in order to change," he
said.
While PD figures including Martina were subjected to whistles
and catcalls, League-Five Star government figures were applauded
at some of the funerals for the disaster's 43 victims.
"The only thing not to do," Martina said, "is to treat with
arrogance the climate that is crossing the country, because it
concerns us.
"The alternative to the League and the Five Stars is done by
flanking these people again.
"By putting our feet back on the streets.
"Only in this way will we defeat the danger represented by
those who rule us today".
Meanwhile former PD leader and ex-premier Matteo Renzi told
La Repubblica daily that the "Jacobin-like" treatment of the PD
would turn into a boomerang for the "presumed revolutionaries"
and that the PD would respond to it.
