Democratic Party (PD) leader
and ex-premier Matteo Renzi said Monday that Economy Minister
Pier Carlo Padoan is set to stand as a candidate for the
centre-left group in the March 4 general election in Siena.
The former OECD chief economist served in Renzi's 2014-2016
administration as well as for the current government of Premier
Paolo Gentiloni.
"I proposed to Minister Padoan that he should stand in
Tuscany, in the Siena constituency, because the PD must be a
strong, authoritative team, but also because we faced the bank
(crisis) question in an innovative way with Pier Carlo," Renzi
told Controradio.
