Salvini admits disappointments: “In the South, the offer from the center-right was not up to par. But the one who gave a momentous blow is Renzi.

“Is it difficult to deny the disappointments in Tuscany, Puglia and Campania? And who denies them ”. The secretary of the league Matteo salvini, the leader defeated in the Regionals last weekend, interviewed by Corriere della sera admits bitterness over the results that prevented the much-invoked push to the government. But it is not necessary to take full responsibility for the failure and brings up the allies: “In the south, in Puglia and Campania, it was the offer of the center-right generally not up to par. “And finally, don’t spare a Matteo renzi and defeat at the polls Alive italy: “He must have received a momentous blow.”

Although Salvini ensures good administrative results, he acknowledges that at the regional level the results have been lower than expectations and even much. “We, of course, will have to think about it. Today I am gathering the regional coordinators And, with the data in hand, we will examine where and how we went wrong. However, in Puglia and Campania we were starting from scratch. We now have six regional councilors. We grow. Silently. “For Salvini, the number of elected directors is fundamental:” I have two new numbers to play in the Lottery. They are 46 and 74: 46 were the regional councilors that the League had until September 19; 74 are today “While in the administrative:” they were very good. We started several municipalities of the center-left and we are on the ballots of Reggio Calabria, Matera, Arezzo “.

So what went wrong: “I can say that in Puglia and Campania we have not intercepted the request for change that came from the citizens now we must look to the future. In 2021, all the largest Italian cities go to the vote, all with PD or 5 stars. I will propose to the coalition to elect people who come from businesses and professions. Even without party cards in your pocket. The alliance must expand ”. Salvini also downplayed the Veneto case, where Zaia’s list was triple that of Lega’s: “With Zaia there has never been or will be the slightest problem and its result fills me with pride, in Veneto there will be 33 councilors from the league of 49. Renzi and Di Maio, however, do not enter. They together zero. And we, alone, 33 “. As for Tuscany, Salvini also spoke about the performance of the Northern League candidate. Ceccardi “made a great electoral campaign And believe me, I don’t underestimate anyone, today we have doubled and we are at 40% ”compared to 5 years ago.

Finally Salvini spoke about the government and the new dynamics after the vote. “Giuseppe Conte at this point you must listen to us. You cannot govern with a political force that has disappeared, but less against a coalition that expresses fifteen presidents out of twenty ”. And the reference is, in particular, to the results obtained by 5 star movement at the polls. One of the next discussions that will be opened in Parliament, one of which the League will also be involved, is the reform of the voting system: “The fact is that the electoral law of the Regions is the clearest -concludes- who vote win more… Do you know who the president of Val d’Aosta is? Anyway, let me tell you: If we were to make an electoral law tailored to Renzi, we would have to do it that guarantees zero point. Without a doubt, he received a momentous blow ”.
