USA, Schlein: ‘In New York, the left returns to victory with clear words and programmes’

Rome, 5 November (LaPresse) – “A splendid victory for Zohran Mamdani in New York! With a clear message against the high cost of living: for a city that everyone can afford. He won with a collective campaign of 100,000 volunteers against the millionaires who financed his opponents and a heavy smear campaign led by Trump himself. The left returns to victory with clear words and programmes on decent wages, truly universal healthcare, the right to housing, transport and free nurseries for those who cannot afford them. Congratulations to the new mayor of New York from the entire Democratic Party community! The politics of hope wins over the politics of fear, which only identifies enemies and scapegoats. Democratic candidates Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Alice Spanberger in Virginia also win, as does Democratic Governor Newsom’s referendum in California. A great awakening in the US!” So says PD secretary Elly Schlein.
