Verini: Di ​​Maio's words surprise
"The words of Luigi Di Maio this morning are surprising," Commissioner Pd Umbrian Walter Verini wrote in a note. "For days - according to Verini - in agreement with the national party, we await a serious response on a civic-social candidacy for some time in the field, regardless of the Democratic Party: that of Andrea Fora, who, in front of any agreements on high profiles he had given and would give full willingness to help these solutions. We work to unite and not to divide a large field that can be a winner ".

Di Maio: we are running for mayor Assisi
Di Maio wrote in a post on the blog of the stars: "The name we proposed as president is the current mayor of Assisi, Stefania Proietti, a very active local administrator and a much appreciated university professor. And we expect an answer, because there is no more time ".

Regional elections, vote on 27 October

In the center-left area - as mentioned - the president Andrea Fora is already in the field as candidate, a civic exponent leading a coalition supported also by the Pd It is not clear whether the candidacy of Proietti proposed by the M5s will change the scenario. The mayor of Assisi was elected as the civic leader of the Assisi list tomorrow. Pd and Cristiano Riformisti also come.

Di Maio: center-laboratory method
According to Luigi Di Maio the "method" is at the center of the "laboratory for a civic pact" that is being built in these days for the regional elections in Umbria. The Foreign Minister, on the sidelines of his speech today in Assisi for 'Il cortile di Francesco', also stressed how to create a program and lists. "As far as the program is concerned - he said - I believe that there are goals for Umbria that all the political forces now say they want to achieve. But if you create a junta with the old method, for example how the center-right wants to do together all his lists and then take months to come, because we have to agree, any program cannot be approved and implemented ". According to Di Maio "we can create a really large and important group of lists". "With people - he added - who know this territory but on the condition that no one the day after the election comes to say I want to put an assessor there or a head of an investee elsewhere, because this stuff cannot exist".
