22 January 2020 There is a dispute between the Democratic Party and the IV on the candidate in the supplementary elections for the Chamber of Deputies in the Rome 1 constituency. Nicola Zingaretti, who had asked for Gianni Cuperlo's availability to run, postpones the choice to the Roman exponents of the party to arrive at a unified name, in a "spirit of coalition".

In the parliamentary rumors, in the hypothesis of a step backwards of both candidates, the name of the minister Roberto Gualtieri returns, which Iv would like.

But Renzi and Calenda insist on Federica Angeli. And in the evening from the Nazarene they let it be known that the Renzians deserted "for the second time" the table called also with Leu and the Italian Left. "They are unitary only in words", complain the Dem. A new meeting of the table should be held tomorrow.

The elections, scheduled for March 1, will assign the vacant seat after Paolo Gentiloni's resignation, following his appointment as European Commissioner.
