+++Pier Luigi Bersani, the secretay of the Democratic Party (PD), jubilates in Capranica theatre in center of Rome, 02 December 2012. Bersani wins against Mayor of Florence, Matteo Renzi, during primary elections staged by centre-left parties to select a prime ministerial candidate – a person who will stand a good chance of replacing incumbent Mario Monti next year. Over three million people voted in a first round of elections on November 25. None of the five candidates reached the minimum 50-per-cent victory threshold, but Pier Luigi Bersani and Matteo Renzi qualified for Sunday’s second-round run-off. Bersani, 61, a former communist, former government minister and current leader of Italy’s largest left-wing party, the Democratic Party (PD), was the favourite.
