Secretariat of the Pd, Cuperlo is also a candidate: "There is a risk of French drift in the party"

"I'm running for secretary of the Democratic Party." Gianni Cuperlo announces it .

“There is the risk of a Greek or French drift of the Democratic Party, I have to do it even if reason advises me against it – he explains -. I've thought about it, I know very well that there are two favorite candidates, but it is such an important congress that in the first phase, the one where the members will vote, those who have ideas on the aftermath I believe even have the duty to present them and discuss them".

Thus the race for the secretariat and the candidacy of Cuperlo, who already challenged Renzi in the 2013 primaries, equalized the against between men and women.

The four aspiring secretaries are, in addition to Cuperlo, Stefano Bonaccini, Elly Schlein and Paola De Micheli .
