Local Elections, Schlein: "The right celebrates polls, we win elections when united"

Rome, May 26 (LaPresse) – “After a beautiful campaign among the people, two extraordinary first-round victories in Genoa and Ravenna, with Silvia Salis and Alessandro Barattoni, to whom we send our congratulations and best wishes for their work. The Democratic Party grew by 8 percentage points compared to the last elections and is now the leading party. We also won in Assisi with Valter Stoppini, and we are doing very well in Taranto, where we head to the runoff with a clear advantage. It’s now obvious: the center-right celebrates poll numbers, we win real elections. The Democratic Party continues its growth after last year's regional elections and the European elections. Being stubbornly united — it’s worth repeating today more than ever — is not just a theory or a political debate, it’s a fact: united, we win. Congratulations to all the forces that contributed to these great victories!” said PD leader Elly Schlein commenting on the local election results.
