High tension in the Democratic Party after the go-ahead from the Management to the lists of candidates.
Letta will be leaders in the Chamber in Veneto and Lombardy, Franceschini in the Senate in Naples, Casini and the former mayor Merola in Bologna, the former secretary of CISL Furlan in Sicily, Zingaretti in Lazio.
The economist Cottarelli
(leader in the Senate in Milan) and
the epidemiologist Crisanti
(leader in Europe) are
candidates .
Outside, among others, Lotti, Ceccanti and Gasbarra.
Cirinnà thinks about it
: 'I accept a difficult boarding school'.
The cut in parliamentarians reduces the available seats and increases the discontent of the excluded.
'These are political choices, no cowardly excuses', the thrust of the former Undersecretary to the Prime Minister.
And Renzi attacks: 'Letta's choices dictated by rancor'.
Among the candidates in contention there will also be 4 young people under 35 indicated as leaders.
They are:
Rachele Scarpa, Cristina Cerroni, Raffaele La Regina, Marco Sarracino.
Sources of the Democratic Party assure that gender equality has been respected in the composition of the candidates on the lists.
"
Cirinnà goes to a boarding school that is given a loser, without a parachute and without us telling him ...".
This is how the outgoing senator Monica Cirinnà, champion of LGBT rights, summarizes the choice of the Democratic Party on her candidacy.
"The uninominal Rome 4 contains territories for which I am not suitable", explains Cirinnà, referring to the many messages of support received.
"I read tiger eyes chat, I pull them out, but I do it only for them, for a community. Fighting as the last of the gladiators is the only way to not escape the battle. love and respect ".
"The territories have been used in an instrumental way to carry out a rancorous plan that certainly does not honor the Democratic Party and that leads me to
seriously reflect on my belonging to a party
which has shown that it has so little attention to the plural and progressive dimension it had built in recent years ". This was stated by the Hon. Rosa Maria Di Giorgi, leader of the Pd group in the Culture Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, excluded from candidacies in the next elections "This is also why I did not vote on the proposed lists presented yesterday by the secretary Letta", he explained.
Out of the lists Dem Luca Lotti
: "The secretary of my party has decided to exclude me from the lists for the next political elections - wrote
the former minister Luca Lotti on Fb -
. He communicated his choice to me, explaining that there are names of caliber higher than mine. I confess I did not quite understand if he was referring to those who until a few months ago were spitting poison against the Democratic Party and who today almost by magic find themselves a safe place on our lists. I do not know. But so it is ".
"The choice is political, no one is hiding behind cowardly excuses," he adds.
The Minister of Culture, Dario Franceschini, writes on twitter: A pride to be the leader of the Democratic Party in #Napoli.
I will try to be the voice in the Senate of this extraordinary land, of this unique city in the world, always and forever Capital of Culture.
#dallapartedinapoli ".
"Today the world of politics comments on the choices on the candidates of the Democratic Party - says in his E-news,
Matteo Renzi
, leader of Italia Viva -.
It seems to me that - from the choice of how to build the coalition to the names of the lists - Enrico Letta's leadership was characterized more by personal rancor than by the will to win.
We will see the fruits on September 26 "." I wish everyone all the best - adds Renzi -, candidates and excluded people, and I carefully avoid any debate on the subject: they taught me that politics is done with feelings, not resentments.
We will stay on the contents.
We have no candidates who voted against the trust in Draghi.
We have a clear idea of innovation in the country that goes from saying YES to the necessary infrastructures, not NO to everything.
And we don't want to raise taxes.
On these issues we are unfortunately very distant from the new Democratic Party ", he concludes. Renzi then defines 'sacrosanct and just'
Carlo Calenda's request for a four-party debate on TV with Letta, Meloni and Conte: 'This is how it works in democratic countries.
Let's see who flees from this confrontation, 'says Renzi.
