(changes 'her' to 'his', 7th line).
A new centre-left group, the
Democratic and Progressive Movement (MDP), was formed in the
Lower House on Tuesday. The group was initially reported to be
made up of 37 MPs who are former members of the Democratic Party
(PD), after breaking away from the ruling group last week, and
former members of the Left Ecology and Freedom (SEL) party - but
at the last minute an ex-SEL MP was said to have changed his
mind, leaving the new caucus with 36 members. MDP leader Roberto
Speranza nominated another former PD man, Francesco Laforgia, to
be the House whip and he was elected unanimously.
