Ex-premier and ruling centre-left
Democratic Party (PD) leader Matteo Renzi said Friday as PD
chapters went into an assembly in Milan that "we are interested
in changing people's lives, not following the formulas of the
politics of the past."
He said "that's why a digital link was born today
(bit.ly/democratica), that's why we'll meet with the chapters in
Milan, that's why we'll wage the electoral campaign talking of
content and ideas. Only this. Forward, together".
After a poor performance in Sunday's mayoral run-offs across
Italy, Renzi is resisting calls to join forces with small
parties to the left including the splinter MDP group, saying
this would be a return to unstable alliances of the past.
As Renzi meets the PD chapters in Milan, the MDP and other
small leftwing forces will team up in Rome with former Milan
mayor Giuliano Pisapia's Progressive Field group to form a group
provisionally called Insieme (Together).
