Nicola Zingaretti if he offered as posible candidate for prime minister of Italy: "Depende del partido"

MADRID, 25 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of the Italian region of Lazio, Nicola Zingaretti, has offered himself this Monday as a possible successor to Mario Draghi as prime minister of the country as long as his formation, the Democratic Party, so wishes.

Thus, he has indicated that this "depends on practically the entire party." "I am available for a political project", he has said in the face of the early elections that will take place on September 25 after Draghi's resignation as head of the Executive.

However, he has pointed out that "that will depend on (Enrico) Letta", the general secretary of the formation. His words come after his name sounded insistently in recent days as a possible protagonist of a leap into national politics.

"My advice has ended because after two terms in Lazio we cannot run again, and I think two terms for a regional president are enough, so we need a change," he said in an interview with Radio Rai.

Zingaretti has assured that "he will fight, street by street, in the squares, to recover hope and bring it back to the people and the community. We do not need to end hope", he said.

On the electoral campaign, he has pointed out that he considers that "the most important thing is to talk to the people". "The message must be clear: in the face of the pandemic we must be the force that guarantees that no one is left behind", she has maintained before clarifying that this means "addressing poverty".

"The Democratic Party has been a fundamental force in the fight against the coronavirus and carrying out the recovery plan, a fundamental source of investment," he indicated.

However, he has ruled out that for the moment there is the possibility of allying with the 5-Star Movement despite the fact that "unfortunately, they have shared a good journey together." "The credibility of something like that would not hold up," he added.

The board of the party will meet this Tuesday from 9.00 to address these issues.
