"Those who ask for more respect for the history of the olive tree today are those who destroyed the olive tree by delivering Italy into the hands of Berlusconi": Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's lunge against the dem minority is very hard, starting with Massimo D 'Alema, who in recent days has attacked him accusing him of having distorted the nature of the Democratic Party.
"The outside world is not interested in our internal discussions but wants to know if it can get answers from Italy and what matters are the facts and ours are on the left" claimed the prime minister, rattling off the list of all the reforms made. Then he increased the dose: "We cannot continue with the Tafazzian attitude of the last 20 years, whereby everything always goes wrong or with the attitude of those who in the last two years say, recounting false numbers, that it is not nothing changed".
Renzi then defended the primaries and reminded the dem minority that, when he lost the primaries, he remained to support who had won them without constantly contesting.
Bersani's rejoinder also lasts: “Renzi has gone too far. We made the Olive tree and if he is on the left, who are we?”
