Elly Schlein effect on Pd members: plus 1,037 new cards in Lombardy, 490 in Milan

For Silvia Roggiani, secretary of the party of Milan and province, “after the well-attended primaries, in a moment that seemed difficult for our party, today this signal on the members tells us about a Pd that returns to being central and a point of reference at all levels” . She calls it “a sign of vitality of the Pd community, of the desire to start all together again for a new season of participation and commitment” also the regional secretary Vinicio Peluffo. Schlein’s drive to enroll new militants is however a fact reported throughout Italy, and Milan where the secretary achieved 70% of the voters’ preferences in the primaries but also Lombardy where surprisingly she conquered over 65%, it was predictable that they would follow the same upward trajectory. On 31 January, when the Pd membership campaign that led to the first congressional phase with the vote of the members of the clubs ended, the membership of the party in all of Lombardy was around 27,000. The thousand supporters who arrived between Monday and yesterday are all new.
