POINT AGI ON THE RESIGNATION OF ZINGARETTI:

“The dripping does not end. I am ashamed that in the Democratic Party, the party of which I am secretary, for 20 days there has been talk only of seats and primary, when in Italy the third wave of Covid is exploding, there is the problem of work, investments and the need to rebuild a hope especially for the new generations ".

Nicola Zingaretti writes it on Facebook . “Since the target is me, for the love of Italy and the party, I just have to do yet another act to unblock the situation. Now everyone will have to take their responsibilities. In the next few hours I will write to the party president to formally resign. The National Assembly will make the most appropriate and useful choices ”.

"I have done my part, I hope that now the Democratic Party will return to talk about the problems of the country and to commit to solving them. An immense hug and thanks to everyone, militants, members and voters, ”said Zingaretti.

Two years ago Nicola Zingaretti was elected secretary of the Democratic Party and today, exactly two years later, the Democratic Party finds itself with a resigning secretary. Faced with the constant bombardment that comes from the elected members of the Riformista Base and from Matteo Orfini, with the prospect of being worn down and worn down the party, he announces his resignation.

It does so, among other things, on the eve of an assembly (March 13 and 14) called to decide between a congress of ideas, on the location and identity of the party, and a congress on leadership and, therefore, on the secretary himself. .

It was March 3, 2019 when, at the end of a congressional process that lasted almost a year, the primaries were celebrated which saw the governor of Lazio triumph with 66% of the votes. Zingaretti then presented himself with the Piazza Grande motion and the slogan “Nicola Zingaretti, for a change”. His opponents were the Renzians Roberto Giachetti and Anna Ascani, who presented themselves in tandem (12%), and the list of the outgoing secretary, elected in the assembly after the resignation of Matteo Renzi, Maurizio Martina (22%).

A structure that does not reflect the parliamentary one: before the 2018 defeat, in fact, Matteo Renzi drew up the lists on which the groups in the Chamber and the Senate would have been composed. The result is that the majority of these groups is very different from that of the statutory organs of the Democratic Party, with a very large Gypsy majority. Not only that: today the component of the Reformist Base is very strong among the groups which, however, was not present at the previous congress: its adherents were, in fact, scattered among the Renzian ranks.

Only after the split of the party operated by Renzi, with the birth of Italia Viva, Luca Lotti and Lorenzo Guerini considered it necessary to create a "liberal and moderate" area to contain – it was said at the time – the centrifugal forces that would bring the party too far to the left. Most of the former Renzians settled in Base Riformista. Most, but not all. Aware of having to create a direct line with parliamentary groups and driven by his natural propensity for dialogue and mediation, Zingaretti immediately pursued the star of the party's internal unity.

Thus, he took great care not to change the parliamentary group leaders chosen by Renzi, leaving Graziano Delrio and Andrea Marcucci (among the first to ask for a congress that would question the secretary) in their place.

Above all, Zingaretti formed the presidency of the Democratic Party and its secretariat by drawing on the former Renzian ranks, now Base Riformista. Anna Ascani, competitor of Zingaretti at the last congress, thus became vice president of the party. Furthermore, with Conte II, Ascani first became undersecretary and then deputy minister of Education. Finally, the Draghi government sees her as undersecretary of state at the Ministry of Economic Development. In short, starting as an ultra-Renzian, Anna Ascani appears today as one of the most appreciated managers by the Pd secretary.

Always pursuing the unity of the party, Nicola Zingaretti has focused a lot on the relationship with Lorenzo Guerini who is one of the leaders of Base Riformista together with Luca Lotti. A relationship between two “bridges”, one could say, given that both exponents are considered the champions of internal mediation. A relationship that led Guerini to fill the role of Defense Minister with the red-yellow government, then reconfirmed by Prime Minister Mario Draghi.

The jolts following the 'crack' of the Conte II government, however, did not spare this report and Guerini asked, together with all his current, to proceed to call the congress "as soon as the conditions exist", or after the administrative meetings – which will be held in October – and at the end of the pandemic emergency. Internal movements that do not make it easy to 'weigh' exactly the currents of the Democratic Party within the assembly that will meet in mid-March.

Considering the farewell of the Renzians, after the split, and the breakdown of the area that belonged to Maurizio Martina, merged into the internal majority, the component of the Riformista Base could be credited between 15 and 18%. In the 70-75% credited to Zingaretti are the members of Areadem (the current of Dario Franceschini), the Orlando area, the Martina area and the Ascani area. A majority such as to be able to reject the resignation of the secretary and ask for a reconfirmation in the assembly, without going through the congress. But this is a game that, eventually, is played at the tip of the statute. At the moment, the only certain thing is that with the resignation of Zingaretti the unitary management also ends and the party could open a phase of all against all with unpredictable results.
