What is happening
At a meeting in Prato, Graziano Delrio, Giorgio Gori, Lorenzo Guerini, Filippo Sensi and Emanuele Fiano said the PD should preserve its identity within a broader coalition. Reformists criticized the party’s move toward opposing the antisemitism bill, which Fiano described as an “insurmountable limit.” They also called for coalition primaries with a two-round system and without online voting. The article reports differing positions within the PD and between the PD and the Five Star Movement on these issues.

The dispute concerns the PD’s identity, its relationship with potential coalition partners and the rules for selecting a possible coalition leader. Reformists argue that excessive emphasis on unity could weaken the party’s defining values.
