«If there are primaries, we will win them»
The secretary speaks to her people and carefully avoids all divisive topics. Even the primaries are left in the background, but certainly not avoided: «First the program – she repeats – and then we will decide together who leads, either by agreement or with primaries. We are never afraid of the vote; it will be a celebration for everyone. If there are primaries, we will win them together».
