The former leader of the Democratic Party in the Municipality of Genoa has renounced the candidacy in the single-member college 2 in Liguria for the Chamber of Deputies
Genoa – TOlessandro Terrile, former leader of the Democratic Party in the Municipality of Genoa, renounced his candidacy in the single-member college 2 (Genoa Ponente) in Liguria for the Chamber of Deputies after being indicated by the national leadership of his party.
Why this choice?
“I was informed of the candidacy, in Rome, ten minutes before the announcement of the names. I immediately refused. Then my name came out anyway. At that point I publicly took a step back. I believe that even more innovative choices are needed, that enhance more women and younger people than has been proposed. I hope that place will go to an under 40, woman or man, who lives and knows that territory better than me. I consider it a very competitive college “.
If you had been offered a safe place as leader in the House or the Senate, would you have accepted?
“I have never asked myself this question. Simply because I never thought of being a candidate for Parliament in the next elections despite mine being present in a list of names made by the territory. A candidacy must be prepared and thought out well in advance. it was my case and so I decided to take a step back ”.
What do you think of the names made up to now for the candidates of the Democratic Party in Liguria?
“They are competent people who know the area. I am sure they will do well. I hope that equally strong figures will be nominated in single-member colleges”.
A few months ago, not without controversy from the majority in Palazzo Tursi for your candidacy in the Municipality which was then withdrawn, you were appointed CEO of Ente Bacini, a company controlled by the Port Authority of Genoa. Has this new post of yours weighed on your withdrawal from upcoming policies?
“I took that into consideration too. If I had been a candidate I would have had to resign ”.
What will your commitment be during the next election campaign?
“I am a man of the Democratic Party and so I remain. I will do everything to help and support my party ”.
