If Schlein succeeded, if the primary campaign far exceeded expectations, it was in part thanks to an educator from Cuneo born in 1981. “We did it. A historic result, a beautiful victory at the end of an intense congressional campaign. It was able to rebuild enthusiasm and participation that many thought no longer existed. Yet our community is alive and has given us a clear mandate: radical change, this joint with new rulers who can rebuild the line, a new founding phase with the land and our people”. These are the words of Chiara Gribaudo the day after Elly Schlein’s endorsement in the Democratic Party primaries. The MP won with 53.8% of the vote, versus Stefano Bonaccini’s 46.2%, becoming the first woman to head the party.
Chiara Gribaudo, 41, deputy national coordinator of the pro-Schlein committees, comments: “Now it’s your turn, Elly. We’ll be there to help you, as we’ve done in recent months. It’s time to build a progressive, feminist, environmental party that advocates for social and civil rights, work and the youth.” “The worst right-wing alternative PD ever to present the country with a credible and radical proposal. Let’s start again from this participation, from this enthusiasm,” says the MP.
But who is Chiara Gribaudo? And now why is he mentioned as a possible centre-left candidate for regional elections in Piedmont? She has been in politics since a very young age. She was a city councilor in Borgo San Dalmazzo for ten years. In the 2013 general elections, he was elected as a deputy of the XVII legislature of the Italian Republic in the Piedmont 2 constituency on behalf of the Democratic Party. Become the PD’s vice president in the room. In the 2018 political elections, he was re-elected as a deputy in the Assembly, in the same constituency. He was nominated and elected as leader to the Assembly in Piedmont in the political elections of September 2022.
Gribaudo will be part of the Democratic Party’s new national secretary. The Educational Sciences graduate has always managed to mobilize a lot of consensus in his district: he helped the Schlein motion gain an enormous advantage while he was at the Clubs Congress in Cuneo (only when militants voted). Until a few months ago it was believed to be close to the Orfini area, but always denied existing connections. He is increasingly mentioned as a possible competitor to the forced activist Alberto Cirio in the 2024 regional elections.
