Veneto, Zaia’s roster takes the league triple. The governor denies the dualism with Salvini but says: “I agree that he is not going to the party”

It was an announced triumph. But throughout your party, Luca zaia, the most voted governor ever in Italy, is forced to get his hands on. And deny again and again any opposition with Matteo salvini. “We texted, he congratulated me. But there is no dualism between us. I think about ruling the Veneto, I don’t have no national political ambitions. Life has dedicated this role to me, which is to administer, ”repeated the President of Veneto until the end. Who chooses to hold the third election at the K3 headquarters in Treviso, the Treviso headquarters of the Lega. The Lega fans wait for him for hours, but he wants to wait for the votes to be consolidated. It only comes when it’s dark over the city. He presents it Lorenzo Fontana, party commissioner and plenipotentiary of Salvini in Veneto. Who carefully chooses the words: “Ha won the whole league. Here, today, we celebrate a historic achievement. From tomorrow there will be one absolute majority of the councilors of the Northern League in the regional council. And do you know why? Because we have embodied thought of our Venetian people. “

The former Minister of Family immediately explains what this vote means for the central government: “We have given proof that the League wins because with the lowest taxes in Italy we have the best services, as the Covid emergency has shown. In Rome we sent a clear sign: now they must give us autonomyHowever, Fontana does not explain what the result of the Venetian vote in via Bellerio, where Salvini is commenting on the disappointing result in other regions. The League commissioner talks about everything but carefully avoids the thorniest issue: the votes drawn from Zaia’s personal list. They approach the fifty%, which means tripling the amount collected by Official league, the one with Salvini’s name on the symbol. Fearing defeat, the secretary had wanted nearly every outgoing adviser to top his list. And his man in Veneto had written to the secretaries of the more than 400 sections of the Northern League to invite them to vote for the official League list and not for the president of Zaia.

It didn’t help: Zaia only got the party’s votes three times. And today you can afford to look like who you are now you will not have to ask anyone for permission. The governor smiles and also removes a few pebbles from his shoe: “The president’s list intercept the consensus that he is not going to the party”, He explains before beginning to deny any dualism with Salvini. “The difference in votes between the list of the president of the League was also in 2010 and 2015, even then I had my own list, which was even called ‘Forza Marca’,” he says. Could it become an autonomous political entity? “No, it will still be a group in regional council. And do not forget me I am part of the Lega groupThen the governor sends a calming message to the center-right allies, with Forza Italia canceled from the regional political scene and the Brothers of Italy reaching 8.5 percent, a good result, but far from the double-digit in the Meloni’s match, also due to the massive transfer campaign that exhausted men and administrators especially from Forza Italia, which many expected. Obviously the “Z effect” was stronger than anything.

To the point of making the Lega de Veneto independent even from its allies? Probably not, also given the electoral pacts signed by the three center-right forces. “I’m not talking about armchairs, we will have the opportunity to reason,” Zaia responds to those who ask her about future advice. It will not be just any administration, but we know that we have fellow travelers ”. To those who ask him what his first goal will be, he responds by citing what is his greatest unfinished business so far:The autonomy of Veneto is the first objective. Rome must understand that the vote of Veneto also means this ”. This is not good news for Matteo Salvini’s sovereign and nationalist League.
