What is happening
In an interview with La Repubblica, Gualtieri said he intends to continue serving as mayor of Rome. He also said he wants the centre-left to present a strong and credible platform, arguing that its programme and vision matter alongside leadership. On immigration, he said education and work are key tools for integration and called for overcoming the current framework of the Bossi-Fini law.
Why is it on the Radar?
Gualtieri’s declaration confirms his focus on seeking a second term in Rome rather than taking on a broader coordinating role within the centre-left.
