Zingaretti: “After the loss of the regional elections, the Democratic Party needs a shock: Elly Schlein”

“We need a shock, we need Elly Schlein. The only one that can answer a request for renewal”. Nicola Zingaretti, Pd deputy and former governor of Lazio who has just been conquered in the infantry by the center-right, confesses to the Foglio. “Maybe we needed this slip. When I said that the wide field was needed, they told me that I was obsessed”.

Does the victory of the right, the success of Rocca, also certify the end of the Zinga model in Lazio?

“I do not think. Just look at the data.”

Meaning what?

“The abstention affected the centre-left: our people did not go to vote when they realized that there was no government proposal, that we and the M5S were going divided, but united towards defeat”.

Who made a bigger mistake in Lazio: Conte or Calenda?

“Count, without a doubt. He thought he could hurt the left, but in the end he didn’t even raise ten percent ”.

Now there is the congress of the Democratic Party which you have defined soporific. Always convinced that her Elly is better than Bonaccini, a son of the red party like you?

“Without a doubt. Now we have to rebuild. The defeat is behind us, we need to move on. And do not think about the restoration. After this sleppa you need a jolt, a shock “.
