We participated in the political campaign of March 1994, won by a mixt right-wing coalition. The day after the 1994 consultations, we met the leftist members of parliament elected in our constituencies, to ask them to preserve the unity of the leftist coalition. In November 1994 we organised events, meetings and petitions to support the creation of new pedestrian areas by the leftist local administration of Turin. The Italian Left now faces a challenge, requiring new instruments, new ideas, new strategies to defend its old values and propose new ones. It's difficult for us to explain to foreign people what In.
Progress is, how it thinks and acts.
The values of the Left remain potent, whatever the distortions and compromises of its history. But the context has radically changed. Liberty is a fragile as ever but needs new forms of expression and protection. The environment must be integral to all policy, and posterity must be party to every decision. A social democratic programme must be universal, not particular.
