Alessandra Kustermann backs Majorino and urges Milan primaries soon
Alessandra Kustermann has backed Pierfrancesco Majorino as a potential centre-left candidate for mayor of Milan.
Kustermann is a veteran gynaecologist and a longstanding figure in Milan’s left, while Majorino has held political and administrative roles.
She says his experience and ability to listen make him a strong choice to lead the city.
Several people are potential candidates, but the Milan primaries have no announced date.
Kustermann says the city should not wait for decisions about possible national primaries, and argues that the coalition’s programme is already being developed.
She wants the local vote held soon so the coalition has more time to support the winner.
The sources do not say when the primaries will take place.

What people are saying
With so many candidates in the field, there is no sense in keeping Milan in limbo while waiting for possible national primaries to be defined.
The programme is already there, there is a committee of experts working on it, only the candidate is missing.
I believe it would be in the whole coalition’s interest to organise primaries in Milan as soon as possible, regardless of what happens in Rome and at the national level.
