PASSARETTI WINS FR LEADERSHIP, MODDO COME SECOND
Passaretti will be the first female leader of the party
The new National congress was elected in the beggining of this September.
The new arithmetic looks like this:
Libertarians (32)
Greens (30)
Solidaritarians (21)
Liberals (18)
The Greens and Solidaritarians formed a coalition.
On top of that, a new Chairperson was elected, Anastasia Passaretti. She will be the first female chairperson in the parties 25 year long history, and the fifth chairperson. The leader of the Greens will also be the second Chairperson from that faction, which makes it the only faction with more than one leader (Conti was a Syndicalist, Vega was a Solidaritarian, Campini, although originated from the Solidaritarians, formed the Green Faction, so he counts as a Green, and Fogghi was a Libertarian). She will officially take over the parties leadership in October. She already stated that Victor Tiamante, the Solidaritarian leader, will take the position of the first Vice-Chairperson.
The results are as followed:
Anastasia Passaretti (Greens):
2,206,739 (52,6%)
Xavier Moddo (Libertarians):
1,988,495 (47,4%)
Passaretti gave a brief speech on the congress, in which she said that cooperation with the other factions will be a key for success of the party in the next election, expected to be held in 4253.
That made many believe that Moddo will retain his position of the Party's Whip, on which he commented:
I do not know what Ms Passaretti wishes to do, but I am in her full disposition. Our Faction is willing to cooperate with anyone that wishes to improve the results of our Party.
Moddo's victory in the contest for the Libertarian leadership is attributed to Munni's lack of experience and her rivals more radical and aggressive nature
Other than that, the nine other, minor candidates endorsed one of the two main players in the second round, which is expected to start their potential career in greater politics.
