PES welcomes Piero Fassino’s new responsibilities in the Council of Europe

A former Justice Minister of Italy and a former Mayor of Turin, Fassino has a wide political experience. PES President Sergei Stanishev said: “We warmly welcome Piero’s appointment to lead our group at the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities. His experience as a mayor and his long political career will help him to do a good job. I look forward to cooperating with him to support democracy on the local and regional level. And I look forward to feeling some of the passion he transmits about the Italian left.”
