Marta Bonafoni and Andrea Pacella are the names that appear for the new secretary of the Democratic Party by Elly Schlein. The first comes from Lazio’s regional council, where she was re-elected after topping Zingaretti’s civic list for five years and is on the launching pad for the upcoming European elections. The second is the Piedmontese, one of the leaders of the Young Democrats, close to a big name in the Schlein area, Chiara Gribaudo, and with excellent relations with Nicola Zingaretti himself. Two new faces of the Democratic Party, therefore, as promised by the dem leader since the parliamentary campaign.
Names that are added to those on the pole for the Pd executive: Chiara Gribaudo (given on the pole for the position of deputy), Chiara Braga (to whom the work delegation may go), Alessandro Zan (rights), Marco Furfaro ( secretariat coordinator or assistant secretary), Marco Sarracino (organization), Antonio Misiani (economy). This match is linked to that of the parliamentary groups, with the possibility of seeing Debora Serracchiani reconfirmed in Montecitorio, at the height of Bonaccini, and with Francesco Boccia’s odds getting higher and higher for the Palazzo Madama (where the hypothesis of Cecilia D’ Elia). The new secretary is in the midst of starting the new course she promised the Democratic Party with the aim of preserving the unity of the Democratic Party and clarity in the political line.
Thursday’s meeting between Schlein and Stfano Bonaccini confirmed the common desire for unity. However, how this is to be refused from here on out remains a difficult puzzle to solve. «We are in a waiting phase», say parliamentary sources close to Stefano Bonaccini «everything is evolving and everything revolves around Stefano’s role». A reasoning that confirms how the president of Emilia-Romagna is today considered the point of reference for the liberal-reformist area of the Democratic Party. The doubt that runs through this area is whether to accept the position of party president or ask for the deputy secretary. According to what is reported, the first hypothesis would be the most appreciated by Bonaccini’s area: the presidency of the party, therefore, is better. Schlein’s party takes shape.
