Pd, it is a clash between Lotti and Schlein. The candidate: “he IS Renziano”. The reply: “I was part of the current, if you win will you kick me out?”

The challenge for the primaries of the Democratic Party is in full swing. And the first controversies arise. Protagonists of the battle Elly Schlein And Luke Lotti. Interviewed by the broadcast A day as a sheep on Rai Radio1, the candidate to lead the party thus replied to those who asked her if she thought that her challenger, Stefano Bonaccini, was Renzian. “No, he is Bonaccinian – he assured – The only current left intact is in support of him and is that of Guerini And Lots, who was then with Renzi. This is known.”

A comment that deeply irritated Lotti. “I ask Elly Schlein directly: if you win, what should I do, leave the Democratic Party? Leave the card? Or wait for you to kick me out? Is this the climate you will impose on the Democratic Party as secretary?”, the furious words of the dem on Facebook . “I was part of the period defined as ‘Renziano’, just as I was part of the previous period (having founded the Democratic Party) and the following one”, continues Lotti in his post.

And in the same way, says the dem, “many other friends and comrades who support Schlein in the congress today took part, such as about 70% of the people who voted in the past at the various congresses and, I believe, part of the over 150,000 members who have come to vote in these days in the primaries of the Democratic Party”. In short, continues Lotti “I was part of it and I have never left the Democratic Party, even when it could have made it ‘convenient’ to leave or when others have ‘made me leave’. And by remaining in the Democratic Party I have contributed to the survival of the Democratic Party in the parliamentary halls : the numbers and history say it, not me”.

Then he concludes piqued by turning to Schlein: “So, don’t you like me? I was able to participate in an event and I didn’t send vote sms around Italy (if it was a problem eh!)”.
