Italy's centre-left Democratic Party (PD) will chose a new leader this weekend who it hopes can pull the group out of a tail spin and provide a credible challenge to the nationalist prime minister, Giorgia Meloni.
"The right is rooting for Schlein. They think she would make the PD unelectable."
The party itself is riven with divisions, meaning it is now seeking its ninth leader in 16 years, and its once strong local roots are withering, leaving it in charge of just four of Italy's 20 regions.in the 2022 parliamentary election, paying a heavy price for failing to forge an alliance with the likes of the 5-Star Movement and other opponents to Meloni's bloc.
Bonaccini's detractors say the 56-year-old regional leader represents the past, not the future. "He is as a boring as a funeral director," celebrity photographer Oliviero Toscani said this week, urging the PD to rally behind Schlein.
