Salvini goes to Tuscany. After the intercom, here is the parachute – Chronicle

From feet firmly planted on the ground in front of the intercom of the Bolognese apartment building to the 4500 meters to launch in Arezzo with the parachute. Matteo salvini exorcises the defeat in Emilia-Romagna, points to settebello in the next regional elections (“we will win 7-0”, he said) and falls in Tuscany contestable. On Thursday afternoon the appointment: the leader of the League with Giovanni galli, former goalkeeper of Fiorentina, Milan and the national team, leader of the Carroccio in the college of the city of Florence, with the deputy of Bergamo Daniele belotti, coordinator of the League in Tuscany and Senator Tiziana Nisini, will board a plane and reach high altitude alongside a group of expert paratroopers, many of whom are former soldiers, and then all launch together.

Objective: fly in the Tuscany. Some kind of superstitious maneuver. Halfway between extreme sports, the test of strength and courage, and the goliardic spirit: a show that leaves aside the political stands and approaches the casual air of Papeete. On the ground, waiting for the quartet of the Northern League, there will be banners and a lot of fans from the leader of the Carroccio. But not only that: the sky will also be colored Northern League green with smoke bombs while Salvini will wave the symbol of his party with a flag as he glides by. Susanna Ceccardi, candidate for the presidency for the Tuscany Region, “lioness of Cascina”, yes, but afraid of jumping from there, kindly declined the invitation. The flight show was born almost by chance: the proposal was made by the councilor of Prato Marco Curcio, a paratrooper. “Why doesn’t Matteo organize a nice parachute flight?” He said to Salvini. And she did not repeat it twice. “Let’s do it”. Since then, the entire organization of the flight, the team, the choreography has taken off.

And to say that until now the presence of Salvini with Susanna Ceccardi for the summer electoral campaign had been discreet, completely different from the one set in Emilia-Romagna.

Always side by side, on the same stage: a synergy to attack the stronghold of the center-left that has resisted for 50 years. A totally different strategy to how she behaved last January when she used to be in one meeting and the candidate Lucia Borgonzoni in another.

If from Bologna to Rimini, from Ravenna to Parma it had captured local and national attention, in Tuscany it moved with the greatest attention.

He often spoke on local issues, immersing himself in the problems of the region, the old locomotive of central Italy. Not only that: he had also chosen Versilia for a week-long vacation in August. Bicycles and walks, minimal tones with the inevitable selfies, although at a safe distance from Covid.

Then the theater coup, the launch in Arezzo from 4500 meters. Ten days before the regional vote, as if he wanted to suddenly bring the scene back, he wanted to refocus attention on himself. “We are like that – says Daniele Belotti who has a civilian parachute license – authentic and spontaneous. The electoral campaign in Tuscany was exciting with the seats full and many people asking us to change. The initiative is beautiful and Matteo is there. they mounted it immediately. People like Salvini like that and he is too comfortable with people even if he shoots from 4,500 meters. “
