MP Roberto Speranza said Friday
his Democratic Party (PD) should call primaries to choose a new
candidate for mayor of Rome after Ignazio Marino was pressured
to quit by his own party.
"A deep rift between the city and the PD has taken place in
Rome," said Speranza, who quit earlier this year as Lower House
PD whip in disagreement with the party line and now belongs to a
dissenting leftwing minority within it.
"In my view primaries are inevitable to try to rebuild.
Decisions made from above can't suffice. It is key we start
again, from our people".
