Progressives are ready for the general election. They have a key agenda: fighting the cost of living, raising wages, and combating tax evasion . The midterm elections in Brazil and the United States have strengthened the progressive camp's optimism.
And the pact with the Democratic Party is consolidating ahead of the vote: "We are the left wing," said Massimo Zedda , regional secretary and mayor of Cagliari; Francesca Ghirra , MP; and Francesco Agus , regional agriculture councilor, during a press conference. "The outcome of the US vote will have repercussions in Italy as well. The right-wing government hasn't given Italians answers. We need to build a strong alternative."
Regarding the Todde administration : "We are loyal allies, but now we must vigorously address the health and air transport emergencies , as well as the suffering in inland areas that require healthcare facilities and services," Zedda stated. Confirmation: Francesca Ghirra will be the Progressives' leading candidate for the general election. "I am not running," the mayor of Cagliari reiterated.
