Salvini tosses Draghi and Letta
Words and moves by the leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, on municipal elections and fiscal delegation
Many names of small and medium-sized cities conquered by the League, which Matteo Salvini mentions in a press conference yesterday afternoon in the Chamber, are unknown to journalists only from the Palazzo. But they are names of places in a deep, real, solid Italy of the Bel Paese. They are the municipalities of those "69 more mayors conquered by the League", which the Northern League leader proudly marks.
Do not miss a dig to those who accused him of having neglected the North, historical basis: "Here, only here we have 46 more first citizens." And he continues: “In the Center 17 and in the South 6”.
In the South the best known name is Caserta where the League will go to the ballot for the first time with the former centrist Gianpiero Zinzi. One they would once put on the "good" and "moderate" list. In Basilicata the League wins 4 mayors, two of which are new.
Going back to the North, there is "the historic victory of Chioggia in the first round", a North with percentages in general "of 40 percent". Only the figure of the Venetian Cittadella: 80 percent.
Chiosa Salvini, replying to Enrico Letta, secretary of the Democratic Party: "I would like one defeat a week". Claudio Borghi in a tweet, where he also remembers the victory in Nocera Umbra, in the Umbria former red fort for 60 years, conquered two years ago by a center-right with a decisive Northern League traction, by Andrea Caparvi, regional secretary and underlines "the value of commitment of our militants on the territory ".
The Northern League leader himself recalls that the League is the most widespread party "committed and close to the people". That then in Rome and Turin the center-right can "play it well" in the ballot Salvini reconfirms it.
However, it is a day in which the non-participation of the League's ministers in the green light to the fiscal delegation takes hold. In particular, the reform of the land registry is in the sights. Salvini is tough: "Taxing the house would be madness, it would hit the salary and block construction."
However, he is also very critical of the “method”: “It is not possible to have half an hour to examine the future of the Italians. We need a change of operating mode ". Letta accuses the League of "tearing". Salvini: "The tear is not ours, but ours is a request for clarity". And he remembers the famous words of Draghi: “It is not the time to ask for money from the Italians but to give them”.
Will the League leave the government? No. "If someone pushes for the League to separate itself from the government majority, it is off topic", he answers dryly to the questions of the journalists. Another clue that it will not be a crisis comes from the answer to the question of whether he wants to go to the early vote, as requested by Giorgia Meloni: "I take care of today and taxes".
In the courtyard of Montecitorio, meanwhile, the perennial research of the mainstream media continues on the alleged troubles of the leadership of the "captain". A historic Northern League player blurts out: “But what do you still want? The votes have them Salvini. And that's that".
