Certainly I did not expect such a high record of preferences, also because I was a candidate on the Lega List and we started at a disadvantage compared to the candidates on the Zaia List, and the good thing is that I was the only one to vote in all the municipalities from the province. of Padua “. Roberto Marcato, the regional councilor for Productive Activities toasts the record of preferences conquered in the Region: 11,660, compared to the young Giacomo Possamai of the Democratic Party and his teammate, Stefano Valdegamberi from Verona.

And on the day of celebration of the popular reconfirmation, Marcato takes the opportunity to harshly attack the comrades of his party who wanted at all costs to join the Zaia List to be more sure of the election: “I will be ‘violent’ with these so-called garter belts who have only had the seat as their target, and who have jumped through hoops to be candidates on the Zaia List. Those who are members of the League, those who are militants should be proud to be a candidate for this party, and on the other hand, for some it was not like that, luckily not all were elected … ”, he stigmatizes. regional councilor: “As leader of the League towards these people I will not have ‘mercy’ and we will have to go to a ‘verification’ of the positions, because – he wants to emphasize – a party is stronger the more the rules are respected. And a member of the League when registering signs a ‘contract’ with rights and duties, which must be respected, “he warns.

On the alleged rivalry between the governor reconfirmed to ‘popular acclaim’ by Veneto and the leader of the league, the reconfirmed regional councilor later assures that: “The supposed dualism between Luca Zaia and Matteo Salvini is very suggestive at the national level, and I understand it, because they are two purebreds, but the reality is quite differentLuca, who I am very close to, due to his history, has never had and has no ambition for a role in the party, he has no interest in being the secretary of the League. A commitment has been made to the Venetians to achieve autonomy and we will pursue this goal to the end. And if the question is: Zaia has a national profile, I answer, she is also ‘international’ ”.

But today Zaia is focused on his role as president of the Region and on the projects to be carried out for the Venetian people, in the first place precisely autonomy. And let’s not forget that Zaia left the agriculture ministry that was ‘his’ ministry to become president of the Region. Finally, on his future role, the outgoing economic activities counselor explains that: “I would like to continue with the work already started and relations with the economic, banking and trade union world of Veneto.”
