“A large part of the Pd members in Gragnano had contested the certification of the new members” and their right to vote, “but the commission for the Pd congress had said that it was fine. Following this there was an afternoon of tension that led to moving the primary vote elsewhere”.
This is what Lorenzo Fattori, a member of Article 1 in Naples and 'guarantor' for the primaries, present on site, says about what happened ten days ago in Gragnano, in the province of Naples.
A tension that Repubblica Napoli writes about today: “Pd, congress brawl in Gragnano. Sarracino blocked in a room”, the newspaper headlines, referring to the “almost kidnapping” of which Marco Sarracino, outgoing MP and provincial secretary of the Pd of Naples, was the victim, who moreover did not give the symbol in the last municipal elections in Gragnano.
Sarracino was reportedly locked in a room until an alternative place to vote was found: the cloister of Sant'Agostino. A decision criticized today by MP Annarita Patriarca, of FI, who is actually from Gragnano. "It is absolutely unacceptable that the votes for the Pd congress were held in the parish premises," she says.
