January 26, 2020 The Minister of Economy, Roberto Gualtieri, will be the only candidate of the center-left in the supplementary elections of the Rome 1 college of the Chamber.

Supplements will be held on March 1st. This is what is learned from political sources that explain how that of Gualtieri, who accepted to be a candidate, is "the name that holds the whole center-left together".

Gualtieri, former MEP, when he accepted the appointment as Minister of Economy, had resigned from the European Parliament for incompatibility with other offices at national level.

Franceschini: "Authoritative choice"
"Roberto Gualtieri is the most authoritative, unitary and open choice that the Democratic Party and the other center-left forces could field for the college of Rome. Thank you". The Minister for Cultural Heritage, Dario Franceschini, writes it on his Twitter profile.

Astorre (Pd): "High profile application"
"The unitary candidacy of Roberto Gualtieri in the supplementary elections in March is a high-profile choice. His experience is an added value for Rome and to represent in the best way the center-left united in Parliament". This is what the secretary of the Pd Lazio, Senator Bruno Astorre, writes in a note. "The unity of the center-left around its candidacy is another important, not obvious, sign of respect for the many militants and voters of the Democratic Party who ask us to be compact in their choices and government actions".

Italia Viva: "We will support Gualtieri"
"Federica Angeli would have been a beautiful candidate and a sign of redemption for many. The decision of the Democratic Party to veto Federica, who therefore renounced to apply, seems inexplicable to us. As for the identification of Roberto Gualtieri, we will obviously support the our economy minister to whom we are bound by esteem and friendship ". So a note from the presidency of Italia Viva.
