"In the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy would like to remind the young patriots who have committed to this goal his life to the ultimate sacrifice. The Patriots have had a dream of the nineteenth century and were able to achieve , freeing the country from foreign control, unifying and, despite contradictions, allowing the social and civil progress.
The patriots of the twentieth century the invaders and liberated from fascism, leaving us in the Constitution the inalienable principles of freedom, justice and equality among citizens as the foundation of the Republic.
These same principles are still our basic orientation, there is our present and our future of Italian and European citizens. The federal challenge is already written into the Charter and will be meaningful if, without taking into vocations symbols and traditions of EU territories, will be able to bring the local to a national and global levels. It will have no meaning if it were limited to a simple folding identity.
For all these reasons, the Democratic Party wants to be the party of the nation is not alluding to this with an intention or defensive rhetoric, but a commitment to re-new condition in a unit of Italy confirmed. It 's time in fact taken to maintain the principles and to lower the fences. It 's time to present the Italian flags and remember that the word patriot has been linked to innovatiori, reformers, conservatives ever.
The Democratic Party must therefore be a party of patriots, true independence and reform. Our good reason is called Italy. Certainly an Italy different from what we see, but that can and should resume his way. A road that does not look with suspicion Europe and the world but, on the other hand, is aware that only in this dimension will enhance national capacities and talents. "
