Brussels – The leadership of the Democratic Party in the EU Parliament changes: Brando Benifei leaves the baton to Nicola Zingaretti<\/strong>. The decision was taken by acclamation this morning (July 23) after weeks of close confrontations in the delegation. Alessandra Moretti, in her third term as an MEP, was elected vice-president at his side.<\/p>\n

The former President of the Lazio region, a former MEP 20 years ago from 2004 to 2008, will thus coordinate the largest<\/a> delegation of the Socialists and Democrats group in the EU Parliament. With 21 elected, the Dems have overtaken the Spanish PSOE.
\nAt a press point in the European Parliament, Moretti presented the four cornerstones of the PD’s new course in Brussels: the “construction of a peace project”, the “continuation of the ecological transition”, and “social Europe and the issue of gender policies”.<\/p>\n

Zingaretti, highlighting the opposite choice made by Fratelli d’Italia and Lega, claimed the delegation’s support for von der Leyen “firstly because she has defined a clear pro-European perimeter”<\/strong>. The new delegation leader, however, guaranteed that this is not a ‘blank cheque; we are here to condition the European Commission’s choices’. Struck by the vote “of those who govern Italy”, for whom “a party interest has prevailed over the national interest”, Zingaretti relaunched: “We feel we have a national function”.<\/p>\n

Also at the press point with the two new heads of the Dem bureau in Brussels was Brando Benifei, who, during his tenure as head of the delegation,<\/em> went through three PD secretariats<\/strong>. It was under the leadership of Nicola Zingaretti from 2019 to 2021 that he was appointed head of the Dem delegation. The 38-year-old from La Spezia, already in his third term, has been elected coordinator of the Social Democrats for International Trade<\/strong> and listed as the new President of the EU-US Interparliamentary Delegation for Relations with the US Congress.”I want to thank Secretary Elly Schlein<\/span> and President Stefano Bonaccini for the trust placed in me and the entire leadership team, starting with old and new colleagues. Now let’s work for a fairer Europe<\/a> and Italy!” the former delegation leader tweeted. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
