Zingaretti: “In the Democratic Party everyone wanted Conte, then I turned around and there was no one left. I confirm my resignation, but I will not disappear”

Confirm the resignation, rejects the candidacy for mayor of rome and pick how many have deviated from Conte government, that “we all wanted together.” Nicola Zingaretti speaks for the first time on television after resignation and it does it in the transmission It is not the D’Urso live, in Canale 5. This is already a position taken after criticism for the tweet dedicated to the presenter when the news of the closing of the broadcast was spread. “The populism – he said – you fight with popular politics, not with the stench under your nose ”.

The outgoing secretary of the Democratic party confirms that the step back will be maintained, there will be no doubts. But yes, the Democratic Party is not a leader’s party but with a leader. We are many, tomorrow I renew the Democratic Party card, I don’t disappear with my ideas. We will stay in politics with our ideas ”, he explains. But then he attacks the attitude of many regarding the option of supporting the Conte government: “It gave me inconvenience that we all wanted it together, when that draft I did not pass they accused me of ‘Count death’, which I have never said ”. In conclusion: “We turned around and there was no one”. The accusation he defines as “unjust” is that of “defending a chosen line together.” And he attacks: “I love the pluralism but it doesn’t mean staying Shut in meetings and then attack in public ”.

“I believe in pluralism of the comparison, but exchanged with the controversy. So I said if I’m the problem then I take a step to the side, because you need a Explanation. Do it in management team“. Zingaretti also reiterated that the rumors Circulated in recent days on a possible candidacy for mayor of Rome is excluded for the moment: “Being mayor of Rome in the coming years will perhaps be the most beautiful thing that can happen to those with political passion. I’m President of the Region and from Rome, I think this is one of my tasks at the moment. There are many Energy to be mayor, this is not mine today thought not my goal at all. “

Meanwhile, dem executives are not giving up trying to convince him to withdraw his resignation as secretary and are still waiting for his afterthought that, eventually, would be sanctioned with a vote ofNational Assembly its a political document, and not with an agreement of the mainstream. L ‘Deadpoint where the leaders are, in fact, has led many of them to insist with Zingaretti to rethink it. The call “Come back Nicola” arises from the difficulty of reaching a square of the circle, that is, of electing another secretary who is strong to manage the administrative and the election in January 2022 of Republic President, but also a boatman towards a congress which must be constituent. For this reason, in the last hours the names circulated in the last days seem to fade or because in some cases they have too much connotation of political affiliation or because they are considered politically a little weak.
