The Democratic Party on standby awaiting indications from Rome on the extension of the provincial leaders: “We are waiting for formal communications: the reasons are political”
TRENT. “We have not received any official communication yet.” Like this Lucia Masters, Secretary of the Democratic Party, on the postponement of the dem congress in Trentino to after the 2023 provincial elections. “We await an answer and hope it will arrive quickly to be able to resume the process in view of the vote”.
The national secretary of the dem, Enrico Lettaexplained on the pages of the Courier of Trentino that on paper extensions are not allowed, the only exceptions concern the Regions called to the polls in the spring. However, Trentino votes in the autumn. A theme, that of the provincial secretariat, central to some controversies in recent days.
Some members had decided to resign in opposition to the secretary (Here article). A rift that has further widened with an appeal that had collected at least 400 signatures asking not to postpone the congress (Here article). Locally, the leaders of the Democratic Party have asked the Nazarene for a clarification.
“There is still no official communication and, as soon as available, the reports from Rome will be immediately sent to the governing bodies and made public. The reasons for requesting an extension are political in nature. We have specified to the national leaders the reasons for this need and the stages of the process of arrival at the next provincial elections: there is a coalition to save, to consolidate and to expand”.
The Trentino Democratic Party is on standby. “It has been agreed – highlights Maestri – almost unanimously from renew the provincial summit of the party after the provincial elections and therefore autonomously from the national congressafter a path that will require the unified commitment of the entire Democratic Party community to once again meet the trust of the Trentino people”.
No will to force. “The question is strictly political and we await an answer. We deem it necessary to follow a formal procedure and therefore await communications. We are taking this situation very seriously”. And there are no big news on the center-left front with the Democratic Party blocked by this passage. “It’s all stoppedthe extension is necessary to structure a programmatic path, identify the candidate for president and compose the lists”, concludes Maestri.
