Pierfrancesco Majorino
says he is “
honored and excited
”
after the announcement by the Lombard center-left of his candidacy for president of
Lombardy
in the next challenge of the
regional
elections in February 2023. A challenge which, Majorino is convinced,
can be won
.
Entrust the first comment after the announcement of the induction to a post on social media.
"
We can beat Attilio Fontana's right
and I am convinced that we will do our best" says the Pd MEP, former city councilor and councilor in Giuliano Pisapia's junta when he was mayor of Milan.
"Starting tomorrow" he will meet the forces of the center-left, adds Majorino, "to build together, and according to the shared methods, the strongest possible proposal to change the page in the Region".
The Lombard centre-left: "Involving eminent personalities of civil society"
In a note released shortly before, the Lombard center-left had decided to converge on his name after months of chasing names, "primary hypotheses" and other reflections to choose the most suitable candidate to contend with Attilio Fontana for the presidency of Lombardy.
"The political and civic forces of the centre-left, environmentalists and liberal democrats - reads the note - which in recent months have worked on the construction of the coalition for the alternative to the Giunta Fontana, have come together completing the work on the shared programmatic priorities and which will be offered as a contribution to the drafting of the presidential candidate's program.
It was also decided to
involve
some eminent personalities of Lombard civil and progressive society
in the construction of the programme
”, asking Majorino to take the field, in the difficult battle for via Melchiorre Gioia, seat of the Palazzo della Regione.
After the announcement, the table that the Pd MEP will build with all the souls of the now defined coalition is awaited.
“The coalition is here.
Punto” commented the regional secretary Vinicio Peluffo.
The comments of the allies: the Italian Left and +Europe
"The profile of the Lombard MEP (Majorino,
ed
. ) corresponds to the characteristics of a
figure clearly different in terms of history, positions and credibility to those of Attilio Fontana and Letizia Moratti
expressed in the centre-right camp".
This is the comment with which the
Italian Left
welcomes the choice of the centre-left candidate.
The time has come "to tighten the programmatic discussion, on which we had also worked in common agreement with the M5S until July, and define the platform".
“
We have expressed our support for the candidate indicated by the Democratic Party
.
And we reiterated that our participation refers to
a coalition which, like today, does not include the M5S
”.
The clarification comes from
+Europe,
which is also at the table of coalition parties in view of the upcoming regional elections.
