New Democratic Party (PD) leader
Nicola Zingaretti on Tuesday urged the centre-left opposition
group to rebuild party unity after a fractious leadership battle
and disappointing performances in recent regional elections.
"We must rebuild unity between us, not unanimousness, but a
collective effort with political initiatives in which you feel
part of the same community that indicates a way to the country,"
he said.
"We have to believe in ourselves," said Zingaretti in the
first leadership session since his election.
The PD has been riven by factions in recent years and has
seen a number of defections, one of which created a breakaway
leftwing party, Free and Equal.
