"I called the Assembly of March 13 as the beginning of confrontation, and I am convinced that we must continue to discuss" on the proposal of the Democratic Party for Italy.
The secretary of the Democratic Party Nicola zingaretti said this in the reply to the Dem Direction, in which he closed the request for a congress: "The congress, or rather the primaries - he recalled - we held them in 2019 and the next ones will take place in 2023".
Women Dem, leadership with two gender secretaries is needed
- "Implement the principle of gender equality in the party, in the government delegation, and in top positions. In respect of the autonomy of parliamentary groups, the principle must be applied everywhere, starting with appointment of a female deputy secretary, more generally to introduce a reflection on the hypothesis of borrowing the experience of dual driving ", as in Germany where there is a male and a female secretary.
The Democratic Party asks for an agenda presented to the management by Cecilia D'Elia, president of the Conference of Dem women.
Orfini, 2023 primaries? Zingaretti avoid improprieties
- "Zingaretti won the congress by promising that there would never be agreements with the M5s. Then we all chose to make an emergency alliance" that "someone has transformed into strategic".
"But that choice is outside the mandate that members and voters have given us. And it can only be made through a congress". Matteo Orfini affirms this, underlining that "this says common sense, and this says the statute. now it is for Martians but it is also the same to say that we will do the primary in 2023. And it is also an incredible incorrectness that I am sure Zingaretti will immediately want to correct ", concludes Orfini.
The leadership of the Democratic Party is over. An agenda will be put to the vote from 7.30 pm to 9 pm.
Orlando, I am not an obstacle to other internal structures -
"On the question of the deputy secretary, I want to be very simple. I do not see it as a personal matter. I think that the structures are functional or not for a passage. The secretary considered that in this transition was functional. For me, the functionality of the assets comes first over personal destiny, I think I have demonstrated this with the choices in the previous government. I did not hesitate to make some choices and today I cannot really be the obstacle to any arrangement that may be useful in addressing this step in the best possible way ".
This was stated by the deputy secretary of the Democratic Party Andrea Orlando speaking to the Directorate of the Democratic Party, regarding the request of some managers to resign after his appointment as Minister of Labor.
"But it must be demonstrated - he added - that this is really functional to face this passage and nothing else. A very different passage, we all think it from that of 2019 (when the Conte government was born). Or rather, it must be convince the secretary and we must avoid discussions in the abstract. Let's place everything in the concrete steps that we face ", he concluded.
Giuditta Pini, an exponent of the area close to Matteo Orfini, speaking to the management of the Democratic Party, asked for the resignation of Andrea Orlando
, who has now become Minister of Labor.
Pini justified the request by recalling how the then deputy secretary Paolo De Micheli resigned in September 2019 when he was appointed minister of the Conte II government, and Orlando should do the same today.
Pini is also very critical of the choice of three men as ministers of the Democratic Party: "there is a discrepancy between what is said and what is done in the party".
