Coraggio Dem has asked the national leadership of the Democratic Party to intervene in the PD federation in Sannio, in the Benevento area, according to a report by NTR24.
In a letter attributed to its coordinating group, Giovanni Palmieri, and the listed petition signatories, the group says it has repeatedly called for a change of direction in the local federation, which it describes as largely inactive across the territory.
Coraggio Dem asks the national party to restore democratic functioning and address what it characterizes as violations of the party statute, ethical code, and internal democracy. Those allegations are presented by Coraggio Dem and have not been independently verified in the reported material.
As further signs of conflict with the national party line, the group points to the direction of votes in the July provincial election toward a right-wing candidate and to criticism expressed by a southern civic network.
The group also says its petition requesting annulment of the provincial PD congress was signed by about 50 people. The exact circumstances of the provincial vote and the legal status of the annulment request are not independently established in the report.
Coraggio Dem warns that, without national intervention, the current situation could continue and further weaken the PD ahead of upcoming elections, including the Benevento municipal elections.
No response from the national PD leadership or the current Sannio federation leadership is included in the reported account.
