Then it is the turn of Matteo salvini. Who greets the widow of the restorer who in recent weeks has taken his life in Florence. “I do not know where he is at the moment – said Salvini – but I thank him, with the commitment that the fact that her husband does not have others following him.” “We promise – he said then – a real help to merchants, artisans, VAT numbers, forgotten by the region of Tuscany”.
Then it’s up to the candidate: “A regional governor must look at Tuscany from above – he says Susanna ceccardi – He has to be a director. The next governor will have to give equal importance to all Tuscan citizens, there should be no citizens of Series A and Series B. “And again:” I have no enemies, I have opponents, but I do not allow myself to offend others or yell at them. But if the center-left goes wrong, everyone will blame Giani. And no, dear Renzi and Rossi, they managed the Tuscany region and the citizens are not satisfied. “
Ceccardi then he talks about the economy: “Work is the priority. Lost funds for companies, to prevent them from closing. When a business closes, a piece of the city closes “. And in the program:” Our program is available on the website susannaceccardi.it and you will find the program that we have developed by spending whole nights in archive and synthesis“.
Susanna Ceccardi closes with a quote from Ghandi and says: “Since they can no longer make fun of us now they can only fight us but they woke up late, now we’re going to win. ”
A Cascina Salvini said: “In Florence there were two squares with two different ideas of Tuscany, not enemies. The Piazza della Repubblica was seething with enthusiasm, there were people talking about proposals and beauty. Next to them were the others sitting, sad, white, angry with the world because they are looking for racists, aliens, invasion of locusts. “” While in the square with Susanna there were proposals and solutions, in the other was hunting the enemy, anger. Renzi Zingaretti, Giani and Rossi say not to vote for us because Susanna is ugly. They are prisoners of the ideology of the last century. The past and history are important to study, but our children ask us to prepare for the future. Whatever happens – Salvini concluded – I am happy, because while others they carried shouts, banners and offenses, we carried culture, ideas and proposals “
