Secretary, how did you take the result of the regional? Shot down?
“No. I have two new numbers to play in the lottery. They are 46 and 70: 46 were the regional councilors that the League had until September 19. 70 are today.”
Matteo Salvini is known for his optimism. Indeed, his followers are convinced that without this trait of his character, the impetuous rise of the League between 2014 and 2019 would not have been possible. Of course. However, the disappointments of Tuscany, Puglia and Campania are hard to deny.
“And who denies them? Actually, to stay with the most recent data, the Administration has been very good. We started several municipalities of the center-left – Macerata emphasized in the first round with our candidate – and we are on the Reggio Calabria ballots, Matera, Arezzo … »
In Lombardy? Perhaps even in the cradle of the League there is a problem.
“We have won about ten municipalities and we are in the second round in Lecco. I would like to add that also in the Bergamo area, with the exception of Clusone, we did very well: I say this because there is a certain interpretation according to which those areas would be disappointed by the center-right.
The problem is in the South. Is it difficult to affirm your turning point?
“In the south, in Puglia and Campania, it was the offer from the center-right in general that did not measure up. We, of course, will have to think about it. Today I am bringing the regional coordinators together and, with 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. Quiet, no worries, no cravings.
In Tuscany the choice of Susanna Ceccardi takes care of her. And also the understatement of Eugenio Giani.
“Susanna ran a great electoral campaign and, believe me, I do not underestimate anyone, on the contrary: we are not the ones who have forgotten that we are talking about a Region in which the left has ruled since the war. 5 years ago our candidate had taken 20%, today we have doubled and we are at 40 ”.
Do you regret the moderation shown?
“But no. After the virus, people want facts and little controversy. That is also why I have not responded to attacks, attacks and inquiries.”
Elections, results and comments
Have the inquiries harmed you or is the electorate no longer paying attention to you?
“Alt. Stop. I will never say anything about this. I respect the work of the judges.”
On Monday there was some spark between her and Giorgia Meloni. He denies that there are leadership problems. But isn’t it normal for them to emerge if a party grows as the Brothers of Italy have done in recent years?
“As long as there is internal growth in the coalition, it is a good thing for everyone. Okay for me. If a team wins, the team wins. If you lose, you lose with elections that belong to everyone. And in any case I do not comment on the mistakes of others, least of all those of the allies.
Ah, but … Are you by any chance talking about the choice of Raffaele Fitto in Puglia?
“I can say that in Puglia and Campania we have not intercepted the request for change that came from the citizens. And now we have to 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.
Do you already have an idea?
“I’m talking about that. I know people who have exactly that profile and it is a pleasant surprise. Believe me, it is not easy for someone who already has his own path, his profession and his recognition to be willing to get involved.
Forgive me: are you sure that Zaia’s stratospheric result does not bring, even here, some problems in the League?
But look, on those lists are all Lega Nord players. With Zaia there has never been and will never be the slightest problem and his result fills me with pride. In Veneto there will be 33 councilors of the League of 49. Renzi and Di Maio, however, do not enter. They together zero. And we, alone, 33 ».
Let’s go back to Rome. Doesn’t the result of the Regionals and the referendum strengthen both the government and the legislature?
“He says? If I look at the election results, I see that the first party in Parliament, the M5S, has disappeared from five Italian regions. And we would be the losers … In Veneto they don’t have a councilor, in Tuscany maybe one … Is it possible that a party that exists only in Parliament can govern for a long time?
Tell her …
“I think not. However, Giuseppe Conte must listen to us on this point. You cannot govern with a disappeared political force, but less against a coalition that expresses fifteen presidents out of twenty.”
What are you waiting for attention?
«This morning I went to Micam, the Italian fashion shoe fair. As far as I know, no one from the government showed up. Is it possible that such an important sector, a thousand international exhibitors, does not push anyone to stand up? It seems unthinkable to me. Perhaps they would have discovered this: With the end of the layoff freeze, companies fear they will have to lay off 30 out of 100 workers. I insist, a real security plan: even yesterday hundreds of people arrived … ».
About Renzi. Some players in the league are hoping Iv’s results will change their minds about proportionality in gestation. She?
“I find it … frustrating that there are those who think about electoral laws according to their own convenience. The fact is that the electoral law of the regions is the clearest. Whoever gives one more vote wins … Do you know who the president of the Val d’Aosta is? ».
Nobody knows yet …
“Exactly. Because Val d’Aosta is the only region with a proportional system. In the others it was learned that same afternoon who would have governed. And anyway, let me tell you: if we had to make an electoral law tailored to Renzi, We should do it that guarantees zero point. It certainly received a momentous blow. “
