There is also Sardinia which holds sway in the dynamics of the centre-left leadership at a national level. Turning the spotlight on the island is the leader of Italia Viva Matteo Renzi , determined to "take over" Florence with his party: «We have decided to ask for primaries to support our very good candidate, Stefania Saccardi. The Democratic Party doesn't want them, it's afraid of gazebos ", comments Renzi on his website.
Then he provokes: «Why Elly? Without the gazebo you would never have won the conference, neither you nor me. How does it work? Are primaries a rule or simply a tool to take over the party and transform it into the old company?".
And it is here that the focus shifts to the Regionals and to the Democratic Party's choice to focus on Alessandra Todde, of the 5 Star Movement: « In Sardinia Renato Soru asks for primaries and they block him by nominating a grillina from Rome . The same happens in various territories."
