Regional in Lombardy, Pierfrancesco Maran formalizes his candidacy: “I run against Fontana and Moratti”

“From today I am on the field against Attilio Fontana and Letizia Moratti. I am ready to run in the primary. I have repeatedly invited the Third Pole to participate in the primary, I doubt they would change approach”. Thus Pierfrancesco Maran (Pd), councilor for the House of the Municipality of Milan, officially announced his candidacy in the regional elections of Lombardy.

“The great enterprise Lombardia 2023”: this is how Maran called today’s appointment organized at the Franco Parenti Theater. “If it is true that the date is February 12, there are 92 days left to vote – he said -. The candidate cannot be an agreement between the secretariats who have lost the vote, but he needs the legitimacy of the citizens. I intend to try. Until the very end I will try to enlarge the portion as much as possible. I see no reason why a voter from the Third Pole cannot vote for me. ” His promise: “If I am president I will respond to citizens not to political agreements”.

With his announcement today, Maran breaks the impasse of the center-left in Lombardy. After the no of senator Carlo Cottarelli, of the MEP Giuliano Pisapia and of the mayor of Brescia Emilio Del Bono, is the first official candidate of the center left. “You may or may not like this proposal but it is clear to say: we are leaving this weekend – added Maran – we will not leave any more time to Moratti and Fontana. If there are any alternative proposals, let them show themselves”. And anyway “I also talked about it with my mayor, Giuseppe Salawith the other mayors of the area, I informed the national secretary Enrico Letta and the regional one Vinicio Peluffo. These are the steps I took and I doubt that now it is too late to make the primary “, concluded Maran then replying to reporters who asked if he will resign as councilor:” First let me elect then I resign “.
