"We want to take it away from the Regions, it must be nationalized. - said the candidate - Healthcare, for about 30 years, has followed a path of privatization and has been dominated by consociativism. The concept of giving the Regions this responsibility has failed. We want to return to public healthcare".

"Our list will be characterized by people from the working class and the productive middle class, we want to mark the difference with those others who do not fight for an idea of ​​the Marche or progress, but for a chair. - said Rizzo - We start from the Marche, then we will arrive at the other regions. We are determined, irreducible and persevering".
