Senator of the Democratic Party Monica Cirinnà in an interview with Republic announced that he wanted to run in the center-left primaries to elect the candidate for mayor of Rome, “if there is one.” Cirinnà explained that he had announced it now due to the inaction of his party: “they are all quiet, they say even at the regional level, but then the days of cushioning blows and setbacks will come, then those of reflection, finally who knows what else” . To the following question from the interviewer, journalist Giovanna Vitale, Cirinnà answered the following:
Did you warn your party?
“I am a free woman and as such I intend to run to the primaries, if there are any, to put 20 years in the city hall and 7 in the Senate at the service of Rome. I’m not looking for chairs or salary. On the contrary, I find the spasmodic persecution that takes place in the secret rooms of the magical candidate, whom someone calls first, dangerous, believing that he can be the Lord’s anointed.
Cirinnà refers to some possible candidates that have been talked about in the newspapers and that the PD would be thinking about: the President of the European Parliament David Sassoli, the Minister of Economy Roberto Gualtieri and the former Prime Minister Enrico Letta, all however Unavailable to apply. According to Cirinnà, “the message that is sent is devastating because if you cannot find the first-level candidate and you have to do the primaries, it means that those who try it are jugs, second options.”
Monica Cirinnà is 57 years old, has been a senator since 2013 and is known for being the first signatory of the civil unions law sought by the Renzi government in 2016: thanks to this role, she has become a reference figure in the center-left for the LGBTQI rights and for rights in a broader sense (she is also the first signatory of a bill on assisted suicide). Before being elected to the Senate, she was a councilor in Rome with the Greens, the environmentally inspired party that had some notoriety in the early 1990s, and with the Democratic Party.
