Overview

  • Elly Schlein mediated inside the PD to overcome resistance from Sandro Ruotolo and Marco Sarracino, clearing the way for Piero De Luca to lead the regional party as part of the Campania deal.
  • Giuseppe Conte is expected in Naples to formally unveil Roberto Fico’s candidacy in the coming days, according to M5S sources.
  • Pina Picierno publicly criticized turning the Campania congress and posts into bargaining chips and denounced the compressed timetable for internal procedures.
  • The PD plans to approve Campania’s internal consultation rules now, with candidate filings due by September 3 and a party vote slated for late September.
  • In Puglia, the regional PD indicated Antonio Decaro for president on the condition that Michele Emiliano and Nichi Vendola do not run for the council, a stance rejected by AVS and likely to escalate to a coalition table and potentially the Nazareno if no local compromise is found.
