The former secretary and party president, Matteo Hallissey, secured the approval of the party assembly for a motion calling for a new party congress, which they announced would take place in early December (4th, 5th and 6th). The secretary and his supporters consider the move unlawful: “It is a vote of no confidence in the secretary without the two-thirds majority required by the party constitution to remove him.” They have announced they will appeal. Behind the clash lie three different strategies for the elections: those who want to go it alone, those who want to align with Renzi, and those who want to align with Calenda.
