In a significant political development in Campania, the regional council has approved a law that could allow Vincenzo De Luca to run for a third term as governor.
This move has sparked controversy within the Democratic Party (PD), as national leader Elly Schlein firmly opposes the extension of mandates beyond two terms.
Schlein has publicly stated that the PD will not support De Luca's bid, emphasizing adherence to national laws on ineligibility.
Despite this, the regional PD councilors have backed the law, creating a rift between the party's national and regional branches.
Schlein has offered to collaborate on finding a successor for De Luca, but the tension remains high as the center-right opposition highlights the division within the PD.
The situation underscores the ongoing political drama in Campania as the region approaches the 2025 elections.
