Democratic Party (PD) leader Matteo Renzi said Tuesday that attempts to get rid of him are set to fail amid debate about whether he should be the centre left‘s premier candidate after their poor showing in Sunday‘s regional election in Sicily. „They have been trying to put me on the sidelines for months, but they will not succeed this time either,“ ex-premier Renzi said in his e-news newsletter regarding the question of whether he should „go to sort out the problems“.
