Matteo Salvini changes his mind and opens up the possibility of running as league leaders in the City Council in Milan in support of Luca Bernardo, the pediatrician chosen to challenge the mayor Giuseppe Sala. «If I serve I apply, they vote in 1,300 municipalities, for me Milan is the soul and the heart are at the complete disposal of Luca Bernardo and the city. We will see if as a candidate or as a support to other candidates “, said the leader of the Carroccio on the sidelines of a visit to a party gazebo in Milan where signatures are collected for the referendum on justice.
On July 8, Salvini himself said that “I am looking for a better leader than me”, adding that “Half of the League list for Palazzo Marino will be open to women and men of the city without a party card in their pocket”. A percentage that a few days later, on July 16, Salvini himself, during the official presentation in Milan of Luca Bernardo’s candidacy at the Palazzo delle Stelline, said: “The League list will be open for the first time for two thirds to the civil society “. At the moment, however, there are no names circulating on the possible exponents of civil society who could make up the League’s list.
Another crucial issue in these hours is that on the vote in local elections. The date has not yet been chosen and in this regard Salvini said this morning: “Ask Minister Lamorgese, why the decree does not arrive, October 3 and 4 is fine for us”. The days of October 3-4 are indicated by days as the most eligible of the dates (other possible dates are September 26-27 and October 10-11).
Finally, on the vaccination requirement for teachers, while the mayoral candidate Luca Bernardo, a pediatrician, sided in favor, Salvini reiterated his no. «The teachers – explained the former Minister of the Interior – for 85 percent have already chosen to be vaccinated so it seems to me that they are already giving the answer. I am against all kinds of obligations, fines and prohibitions ». Also because, he reiterated, “the teachers are responding well without anyone forcing them.”
