"The arrival of Draghi in the European Council, with all the esteem I have and that we have for Giuseppe Conte that I will see tomorrow, is a sign of an Italy that can play a key role there".
Enrico Letta said this in the Pd assembly in the House.
"Any choice you make about the woman to be elected will be the best for me because respect for the autonomy of the group is fundamental for me", added Letta.
The Assembly of Deputies has begun in the Chamber with the secretary Enrico Letta.
Letta arrived just before nine.
This is the first meeting between the deputies and the new secretary who, in recent days, has asked that a female group leader be chosen.
Before the start of the assembly, Letta had, as far as we know, an interview with the group leader, Graziano Delrio.
"I am the first to step aside. We will decide together ways and times".
According to what is learned, it is one of the steps of the intervention of the group leader Pd in the Chamber, Graziano Delrio, at the assembly of the group with the secretary Enrico Letta.
"Letta has launched some challenges to the Democratic Party - he added - He asked us to support the challenge of gender equality. I agree. We must help the Secretary in his work".
"I've always paid attention to women, I have 5 daughters, while Letta has three sons".
With a joke, the leader of the Democratic Party underlined his attention to gender issues during the assembly of deputies.
Delrio retraced the work of the group during the Conte government, the crisis and now with Draghi.
