European elections, Vannacci’s name divides the League. But Salvini has decided
The European are getting closer and now it is time for the leaders of the various parties to make their choices official in view of the June elections. Matteo Salvini General Roberto seems to have decided Vannacci it should be, barring last minute second thoughts, leader in all five constituencies for the League. In the end – reports Il Messaggero – Salvini broke through: he needs a vote-getter and Vannacci, so he hopes, may be the right man. To the officialdom of candidacy most awaited and discussed in the Northern League universe but very little is missing. And who knows if he also discussed this, the timing and the choreography of the announcement general spotted last Friday in via Belleriothe headquarters of the Northern League, as the Corriere wrote.
Ma his name divides and causes discussion in the Lega house, especially in the belly of the militants in the North who, like managers – continues Il Messaggero – cannot tolerate one candidacy dropped from above of a man who until now was foreign to politics and the party. The tirades in his book, “The world upside down”, against the alleged “political correctness”, the harsh and border-line criticisms of gender ideology, Islam, civil rights reap a certain consent in the Northern League. But who hoped until the end in Luca’s candidacy Zaia to the European elections, convinced and rightly so that the Venetian governor’s race it could have made a difference at the polls, he turns up his nose a little. The League is not united on Vannacci’s name.
The vice president of the Senate, Gian Marco Hundredrepudiates the idea of nominating General Roberto Vannacci in the lists of Lega at European. “My enthusiasm for this hypothesis is at -2000. The League – Centinaio tells La Stampa – must nominate Northern League members. Already someone who must ponder whether to run o no I would never choose it. If he shows up in my constituency, I won’t vote for him. I will choose one of the League who has done his job in the area.”
