Shortly after the attack, Matteo Salvini seems absolutely calm. The messages of the sympathizers pulsed continuously on the phone: “Isolated episode”, cut it short. The low-key rule that has been imposed for the 2020 Regionals is not denied even in Pontassieve. The only thing that escapes him is “of course, if Conte or Zingaretti’s shirt had been ripped off, you know what chorus …”. He talks about the messages of solidarity from politics that arrived yesterday – from all parties – after the episode. But, in fact, the secretary of the Northern League does not want to turn it into a political issue, he does not want to be asked about the hate campaigns that come from the left, the right or the center: “But no, they tell me it was a person with some problems, what should I say? It seems to me that it is a closed case. I do not use this gesture to campaign, I do not want it to be linked to an attack at all. “
However, it is true that the public appearances of Salvini, so immersed in people and in close contact with so many people, expose him to a concrete risk, and in this case we are not talking about Covid. But it is not on the agenda for the leader of the Northern League to change his style precisely in his crowds: “Not really. I am a supporter of democracy, freedom of thought and expression for all. I’m used to being around people, I certainly don’t change now. Also because Matteo Salvini is starting to believe it, the overcrowded squares seem auspicious even if he had to learn to be cautious around Emilia-Romagna. However, you certainly don’t want to go through what explodes as an “isolated episode.” At first he also spoke of the restaurateur who had to stop hosting the Northern League due to the threats received and had mentioned to the mayor of Pontassieve Monica Marini that he had relaunched the position of an association that defined Salvini as an unwanted guest .
Later, however, the solidarity received and the crowd made him change his mind and defuse the controversy: “Also because everything is there to Look, there are an incredible amount of people and the weather is really exceptional. I was in Mugello, which was a red fiefdom, the famous college where Antonio Di Pietro had been a candidate to guarantee his election. And even there, no problems and a party atmosphere. The Pontassieve episode was unpleasant, he says, but the only thing that really caught his attention was the attempt to snatch the rosary from him: “I don’t know if that was the intention, I found this person in front of him all of a sudden, I don’t know what he had in mind. But I was amazed that by putting my hands on me I broke the two chains, it seemed that I was pointing at them. ”For the record, one has already been replaced: the parish priest of Luco del Mugello, a fraction of Borgo San Lorenzo, promptly handed over another rosario to the secretary of the Northern League. In any case, it is all the center-right who believe in the possibility of conquering the “red” region par excellence: the end of the electoral campaign of the entire alliance will be in Tuscany.
