ROME - Supporters of Italy’s centre-left Democratic Party voted on Sunday to elect a new leader one year after the group lost power in a humbling defeat at a national, parliamentary election.
Following months of internal feuding, three candidates have put themselves forward — the governor of the Lazio region, Nicola Zingaretti, the interim PD chief Maurizio Martina and Roberto Giachetti, who is seen as the closest to Renzi. In a heartening sign for Italy’s left, tens of thousands took to the streets of the financial capital Milan on Saturday to denounce racism and the anti-migrant policies of the League — the largest such protest since the government took office.
Corriere put backing for the PD at 18.5 percent, little changed from a year ago but up from 16.1 percent that it registered in a similar survey at the start of February.
