Italy: PD retains stronghold

The effort of the Northern League, which recently stepped out from the Italian coalition government, to undo the dominance of the PD, which replaced the vacuum created by the League’s exist, over Emilia-Romagna, which the centre-left party is in a dominant position since the Second World War, has failed as the rightist party has performed far less than what it expected it would in the latest regional election.

As per a latest report, the centre-left PD has gained a slight edge over the far rightist Northern League.

The proposed victory is a great relief to the PD, which is the member of the coalition government along with the populist Five Star Movement.

What the projected victory derails is the plan of the far rightist to destabilise the present government.

The exit of the Northern League from the coalition government led by the Five Star Movement is considered as a historic blunder from the part of League leader Matteo Salvini.

The departure is used by many to project the firebrand rightist as a person who is not dedicated to act what he talks.

The development is expected to strengthen the present coalition government further. At present, the political implication of this development remains vague.
