The victory of former Expo CEO
Giuseppe Sala in centre-left primaries in Milan on Saturday and
Sunday was a "predictable consequence of the Party of the
Nation", Rome mayoral candidate for the recently formed Italian
Left (SL) Stefano Fassina said Monday.
In Italy "Party of the Nation" is used by critics of
Premier and PD secretary Matteo Renzi to describe maneuvering
ostensibly aimed at building the broadest possible consensus for
the centre-left party, irrespective of political affiliation.
"Sala responds to that profile and doesn't seem able to
represent the plurality of experiences instead mustered by
(outgoing) mayor (Giuliano) Pisapia," Fassina continued.
The former junior economy minister who left the PD last
year is refusing to take part in centre-left primaries in Rome
in March on grounds SL and his former party have no common
ground.
