Letizia Moratti running for president of Lombardy . Not for the center-right to which he had given his availability, but for the Third Pole and the civic list that has been building for some time .
Muro dal Pd, with the dems confirming that they will not support it and calling for the primary in Lombardy .
The leader of Action opens the dance of the declarations in the same hours in which the Lombard Democratic Party was meeting in Milan. "Supporting two people who in Lombardy and Lazio have done well on the vaccination campaign and health care like Alessio D'Amato and Letizia Moratti is the right choice for the Third Pole ", wrote Calenda relaunching the ticket in Lombardy between the now ex regional vice president and the economist Carlo Cottarelli who is still waiting for a "phone call" to certify his candidacy.
"Moratti is not an option, this indication also came out of the assembly - the words of the Lombard secretary dem Vinicio Peluffo - I do not think it can work that there is someone who also decides for the others. We do not want to impose anything on anyone but neither do we want to impose anything ". Stated even more clearly: " We do not support it ."
"A new exciting journey begins to give the answers that Lombardy deserves ", the words of Letizia Moratti . "A strong project attentive to the territories - he adds - aimed at offering a vision of the Lombard and national future" and open to "third sector interlocutors and associations".
In addition to the support of the Third Pole, Moratti will be able to count on a "consolidated civic network" of which "Lombardia Migliore" is a member, an association that has regional councilor Manfredi Palmeri among its founders. It remains to be seen if the former mayor of Milan Gabriele Albertini will be involved, to whom he had asked in unsuspecting times to lead his civic list.
Meanwhile, the League "greets" the former minister "who goes to the left after twenty years with the center right" without "a shred of consistency" and the coalition is compacted around the governor Attilio Fontana , who in an interview with the Giornale now defines " superfluous "having to obtain an official investiture from the parties.
