In the last few hours in many, many fronts, and through various communication tools, they ask me an act of courage and responsibility: to participate in the electoral race for the region of Campania. It 's a sign of esteem and confidence that almost causes me embarrassment, because of that feeling of love that I feel this in this request. A request that I am forced, painfully, to decline, because of the courage and responsibility that it calls into question. I say painfully because Campania is a land I love, because my land. A difficult but fertile region, where the continuation of a policy swampy, with the collusion and connivance of the cross, has not cleared the desire of political change in its population. The clan that constrain the economy and result in government spending, but also Saviano and the fight against o'sistema. Unemployment and ill-employment result of the infamous exchange between personal interests and electoral reasons, but also the sacrifice of young people inventing an alternative and a future. Therefore deserves a new leadership, courageous and responsible in fact, responding to the desire for renewal and discontinuity. It would be a test of courage and responsibility leave his post as chairman of the Budget Committee and the role played in the European Parliament, who have been delegated by the vote of nearly 500 thousand voters? What would be courageous and responsible in leaving a post that I promised to do the best to the citizens? It would be new and it would be just a choice like this, which would re-affirmed the same old practice so offensive to the community of those seeking consensus for a commitment and then betrayed that promise to embark on another adventure in politics? There is need for transparency and honesty in Campania, create an administration that makes these adjectives the meaning of his mission, breaking with the tradition of co-management, patronage power, with pacchettari of votes that determine the leadership, with the intertwining of crime and in public affairs. But meeting this challenge, I wonder, can I choose to go through the "turnaround" of the popular mandate, I have received from those who voted for me as an MEP? I can disregard the obligations of the Commission for the control of the budget, I believe as an opportunity to restore a proper use of public money? I fail to making European combating gangs, their institutional infiltration, to their exploitation on the economy and institutions? I think not, I can not do. As a politician I feel I must demonstrate credibility and fairness toward electorate. For the region will continue to stand, how I'm from Europe and Europe, which is not a golden exile, as many critics contend, but a political space where you can fight for the future of their country. Lot with the people on the move in Italy. And my country, for me, it is also and above all the Campania. Since his surrender in fact, like that of the whole South depends on the fate of a nation.
