History

The 2019 Democratic Party leadership election had seen the victory of Nicola Zingaretti, who had become Secretary after winning over 66% of the vote. On 4 March 2021, Zingaretti resigned, planning to hand the party's leadership to former Prime Minister Enrico Letta. Letta, who at the time was working in Paris as a university professor, immediately returned to Italy, where he was elected Secretary by the National Assembly in a nearly unanimous vote. In his first speech as leader of the Democratic Party, he set out his agenda, which included:

• The formation a broad alliance alongside centre-left and centrist political forces.
• Making it easier for children of immigrants to obtain Italian citizenship.
• Lowering the minimum voting age from 18 to 16.
• The introduction of an anti-defection law.
• An electoral law reform.
