"When you no longer care for the poor, when you don’t reconnect the suburbs, the local markets, the unemployed youth, the young people in precarious jobs, and the pensioners living on the minimum pension to the very heart of the country—and through them, reach out to the institutions—you simply turn to the right and go your own way. [...] We thought that saying, “I’ll scrap everything, change everything, send them home,” because the country wasn’t working, would be enough. And yet, when put to the test by the government, this “scrapping” clearly failed to convince Italians."
