At the Europa Verde national assembly in Chianciano Terme, Elly Schlein, the secretary of the Democratic Party (PD), called for unity among Italy's progressive parties.

Despite the absence of key leaders like Giuseppe Conte and Carlo Calenda, Schlein emphasized the need for a coherent project and shared values to counter the current government.

She highlighted the importance of collaboration, stating that differences should not hinder the formation of a united front.

Schlein's appeal was echoed by other leaders, who stressed the necessity of a stable platform for dialogue among opposition parties.

However, challenges remain, particularly regarding differing views on issues like military support for Ukraine.

The assembly underscored the ongoing struggle to solidify a cohesive progressive alliance in Italy.
