"I am a candidate for secretary of the Democratic Party".
Gianni Cuperlo announces it, in an interview with Huffington Post.
"There is the risk of a Greek or French drift of the Democratic Party, I have to do it even if reason advises me against it - he explains -. I have thought about it, I know very well that there are two favorite candidates, but it is such an important congress that in the first phase, the one where the members will vote, whoever has ideas on the aftermath I think even has the duty to expose and discuss them ".
The news of Cuperlo's candidacy was launched by the "La Repubblica" website and then picked up by other websites.
