Former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi on Sunday stepped down from his role as Secretary General of the Democratic Party (PD).
Renzi's resignation from his top-level party post came just two months after he stepped down as Prime Minister when the public voted to reject a motion of his in a referendum, Efe news reported. His latest resignation looked set to be a decisive moment for his centre-left party which was currently experiencing a revolt from a minority of its members.
