Former Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi is attempting a political
comeback by launching a bid to recapture the leadership of the
centre-left Democratic party (PD).
At a meeting in Turin he dismissed the recent defection of a group
of leftwing dissidents ahead of contesting the party’s primary election
on April 30th.
“Some are trying to destroy the Democratic Party: you can calm
yourselves …. rest assured the party was there before and it will be
there after us.”
Renzi was Italian prime minister for nearly three years until he
resigned in December after losing a referendum on his flagship
constitutional reforms. But far from leaving the political arena he is
presenting himself as a barrier to the spread of populism.
