Proclaimed as the only candidate, and therefore the next PSI General Secretary, Rosa Pavanelli defined the challenges for the next five years: "Continue fighting against privatisation and ensuring that services are always provided with public resources", as well as, strengthening PSI by increasing its membership.
"The bigger we are, the stronger we are to face our enemies," Pavanelli said while assuring that as an organisation, "we have to change, because we do not always measure up to the needs of our workers, especially the new generations".
On the first day of Congress, Rosa was positively evaluated and highlighted the active participation of the attendees in the debate, she said "there are different positions regarding some of the resolutions, that strengthens the internal democracy in our organisation."
"I think that spaces like these where we can talk, recognize ourselves and share moments of joy, is what an organisation like PSI needs and deserves."
