(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 13 - Centre-left Democratic Party (PD)
outgoing leader Enrico Letta said Monday the regional election
results showed that an alleged 'takeover bid' against the PD by
the leftwing 5-Star Movement (M5S) and the centrist 'Third Pole'
had failed and "hurt those who attempted it".
"The PD firmly remains the second political force (behind
Premier Giorgia Meloni's rightwing Brothers of Italy) and the
top opposition party", he said.
