Emilia-Romagna Governor Stefano
Bonaccini announced Wednesday that he will quit in two week's
time after being elected as MEP for the centre-left Democratic
Party (PD) in this month's European elections.
The 57-year-old, who has been at the helm of the region since
2014, said he will stand down after Bologna hosts the Science
and Technology G7 July 9-11.
"It's been 10 complicated years," Bonaccini said remembering,
among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic and a series of deadly
floods.
"And yet, I see this region stronger than 10 years ago".
