Suppletive in Rome: the Democratic Party chooses Saturday. Fdi-Lega duel, Salvini: “We will have a single candidate”

Goodbye wide field. Once the Conte solution has been definitively filed, it will be the Roman Democratic Party, Saturday afternoon, at the end of a meeting at the Nazarene, to indicate the candidate for the next supplementary rounds in central Rome. A path explicitly indicated by the secretary Enrico Letta, who in this way elegantly rejected the solution indicated by Italia Viva, by Minister Elena Bonetti: “Conte’s choice does not change anything in perspective, it seemed to me that that college deserved an authoritative candidacy even if outside the logic of the relationship with the territory. Now – explains Letta – the Roman Democratic Party will make its evaluations and propose the best name ». In the evening the Nazarene insists that the final decision will therefore be the one that comes from the territory. A sign of distinction – it is argued in parliamentary circles – where ever Italia Viva should confirm the candidacy of Elena Bonetti. The name is still covered cards, but in recent weeks the dem leaders have leaked their propensity for a female candidacy, after many male candidates in the last administrative rounds. In the center-right, the games are still open: the coalition will present itself united but it is not yet known with whom. Until now, the principle of presenting in the college an exponent of the same party who had run in the past in the same reality seemed to prevail. In the case of Roma Uno, it would have been a candidate of the Brothers of Italy. However, somewhat surprisingly, Simonetta Matone, leader of the Lega in Campidoglio and former deputy attorney general of the Rome Court of Appeal, came forward today. “I don’t intend to disappoint the expectations of those who voted for me to stay in the Municipality, but in life never say never. Therefore, I am not ruling out my candidacy in Parliament, ”he said. Matteo Salvini, at the end of a long assembly with the deputies of the League, however indicated the path of the unitary candidate of the center-right. Forza Italia is at the window for now, but who knows that in the end it may not be in the game, perhaps with an area number. Having said that, time is running out as we vote on January 16th ».
