Sources of the Democratic Party assure that gender equality has been respected in the composition of the candidates on the lists.

Out of the Dem Luca Lotti lists: “The secretary of my party has decided to exclude me from the lists for the next political elections – he wrote on Fb former minister Luca Lotti –. She informed me of her choice by explaining that there are names of a higher caliber than mine. I confess that I did not quite understand if he was referring to those who until a few months ago were spitting poison against the Democratic Party and who today find themselves almost by magic a safe place on our lists. I do not know. But that’s the way it is. “” The choice is political, no one is hiding behind cowardly excuses, “she adds.
