Tension is high within the
Democratic Party (PD) as leader and ex-premier Matteo Renzi has
so far been unable to strike an agreement with a critical
minority within the centre-left group over candidate lists for
the March 4 general election.
As a result the presentation of the candidacy of Cabinet
Secretary Maria Elena Boschi, who is considered close to Renzi,
in the northern city of Bolzano has been delayed and an
important meeting of the PD's directorate scheduled for Friday
may be postponed too.
The situation is complicated by the fact that the PD has to
make room among the candidates for people from parties who
allied with it at the vote.
