October 30, 2019A maneuver that had to be done; the need to change the status of the Democratic Party; enough wars in the center-left that lead - in essence - more and more consents to the center-right forces. Nicola Zingaretti, the secretary of the Democratic Party, is in flood during an interview with "Circo Massimo" under the crossfire of Massimo Giannini and Oscar Giannino."Maneuver does what needed to be done"
"It would take more courage to claim that this maneuver does what needed to be done," Zingaretti said. And he explained: "On the maneuver weighs more than a political controversy that hurts Italy. We must not underestimate the tragedy in which this country had fallen due to a government that had lost the key to the problem". Then he reiterates his "loyal support to this executive, but not to liven up, to play or for the seats. You cannot stay in the government to make appointments or occupy seats; you are about to do things", he adds, ensuring that the Democratic Party will "the most unitary and clearest force on objectives". To those who ask him how long the executive will last, he replies: "We must resist as long as we produce results. I don't want it to fall, I want it to keep its commitments with the Italians. If it doesn't realize what it said, if it doesn't make it, the better going to vote ". On the premier Giuseppe Conte says: "He is doing his role well, but I do not say that he will be the premier candidate of our alliance in the next political elections otherwise everyone will be offended and say that Conte is a candidate for the PD".
Elections: "Umbria has not turned blue on Sunday"
The secretary of the Pd then dwells on the resounding defeat of M5s-Pd in the elections in Umbria, where he swept the center-right: "Umbria did not turn blue on Sunday, but already on 4 March 2018. And 72% of the Umbrians live in cities governed by the right ". And he continued: "I believe that what happened in Piazza San Giovanni, on the right, where political forces even on the rise have decided to unite and fight together, has been underestimated too much. If this spirit were found it would change things".
Pressed by the interviewers on the words spoken by the leader of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi after the election results, he replied: "It is a false theorem to say that the defeat in Umbria is the daughter of the alliance between Pd and M5s". Renzi also said that "now a prairie opens up for Italy alive". "This seems to me an ungenerous position with the need of Italy to have a highway for itself, for the destiny of people and not for some of us", comments the secretary of the Pd. And he adds: "We must work together. If a war resumes in the field of center-left forces, the Italians say bye bye. I still think that Renzi plays a fair game, that's why I make appeals to turn the page with respect to what happened in these 60 days ".

Pd: "Necessary congress"
