“The skills you need to be a leader. I put my experience at your disposal” – Libero Quotidiano

“I made the Liguria experiment available to the national center-right. Giorgia Meloni, Matteo salvini, Silvio Berlusconi. For those who want to capture the moral of this result. ” Giovanni toti thus he speaks of his victory in Liguria, making his political experience available to the entire center-right. The governor also remembers why he retired in the summer of 2019. Go Italy when he was about to become its national coordinator: “There was and still is an absolute need to give air to the house of the moderates. I was available. Berlusconi, to whom I will always and in any case feel grateful, he agreed. Then come on Russia in the 1960s it resisted the military-industrial apparatus of Forza Italia.

Numbers and management skills coalition. The former are there, the latter not for now. Matteo could be the architect of the center-right, but at the moment I don’t know what he has plans. He focuses only on his battles, he goes alone. He does not listen to those who love him. And by dint of shoveling, he ends up remedying one dislocation after another. A lead candidate Like Matteo, you must be aware of the coalition numbers, not just your party’s. We must record the victories, as Berlusconi did very well, and not only rejoice with one more councilor from the League or one of his candidates on the ballot, are you still friends? We still are, at least I think so. But I was waiting for him and his people smiles and toasts, not the long faces these days. This must be the difference between the secretary of a party and the leader of an alignment ”, concludes Toti.
