Centre-left Democratic Party (PD)
leader Elly Schlein will hold a press conference on the local
election results at 11 am Tuesday in the PD HQ in Rome, the
party said Monday.
The PD led a 'broad field' of other leftwing and progressive
parties to victory in all five regional capitals where run-offs
were held, retaining Florence and Bari while taking back Perugia
and also taking Potenza and Campobasso.
PD Chair Stefano Bonaccini said "5-0 for the Democratic Party
and the centre left!...confirmation that a united PD and a broad
and plural centre left can really beat the right.
"Now we'll think about the upcoming regional elections in Umbria
and Emilia-Romagna," said the Emilia-Romagna governor, beaten by
Schlein in the PD leadership race in March last year.
"It's an extraordinary success".
