Lombardy, the Pd focuses on Majorino and rejects the Moratti hypothesis. The former mayor: “Interlocutions at the highest level”
Pierfrancesco Majorino will be the candidate of the Democratic Party for the presidency of Lombardy. In just three months, the exponent of the dem left will face the incumbent president, the Northern League supporter Attilio Fontana, and Letizia Moratti, supported by the Third Pole.
The MEP’s candidacy was announced yesterday evening, at the end of the meeting attended by representatives of the coalition which also includes the Greens, the Italian Left and the former Radicals of +Europe. “I am honored and excited”, commented Majorino, who with the other centre-left forces aims to “build together, and according to the shared methods, the strongest possible proposal to change the page in the Region”. The coalition that will support the former welfare councilor will probably not expand to include the 5-star movement. According to Il Corriere della Sera, the former radicals of +Europe have threatened to leave in the event of an opening to the party led by Giuseppe Conte, who in turn had asked for the candidacy of a third name, subject to a program agreement.
The hypothesis for the Democratic Party to support the candidacy of Letizia Moratti, supported by personalities such as Carlo De Benedetti, Natalia Aspesi and Nando Dalla Chiesa, has been definitively archived. “I’ve had interlocutions at the highest level and I’ve had them for some time. All with a positive orientation. Then surely some things have changed for the Democratic Party ”, he said said the former mayor of Milan, highly contested by the centre-left when she was minister of education during the Berlusconi government. Her possible candidacy had been criticized by Majorino himself. “This is not how you do politics, until two weeks ago you proposed to Lega and Fratelli d’Italia”, he told “L’aria che tira” on La7.
