Democratic Party (PD) leader Nicola
Zingaretti on Tuesday called on its warring factions to put
aside their differences and restore trust inside the centre-left
opposition party.
"Let's not sink the first signs of recovery by the PD," he
told the party directorate.
"Action must be aimed at the outside, where there is a
situation of danger" because of the rise of the nationalist
right, he said.
"It is not an appeal to finer feelings but the construction
of a political line," he said.
"I feel on me all the responsibility of proposing an
intervention to recreate a climate of trust and to fight our
battles".
Zingaretti said there must be "an obsession with unity".
Since Zingaretti's recent election the PD has seen a small
but steady rise in its polling numbers, to over 20%.
It scored an all-time low of 18% in last year's general
election.
