“We are able to govern ourselves: I think and hope that in times of pandemic and war the European Union will take care of peace and work, without giving report cards or making bureaucratic reminders”. The secretary of the Lega Matteo Salvini said this in Milan. «I remind the European Union that in recent years Italians have paid one hundred billion euros more into the EU coffers than those who have gone back. The advice is interesting, but the Italians are able to self-manage and self-govern, ”he added. «If the EU requires us to increase the tax on housing, it is attacking: the home is sacred to Italians. It is taxed, super taxed and there is no need for a new tax on the house. Listening is lawful, answering is courtesy. If the EU’s request is to massacre Italian workers, businesses and savers, the answer will be no, ”he stressed.
Then the leader of the League addressed the center-right issue: «The League is firmly in the center-right and hopes that it will be united in Municipalities, Regions and at national level. Every now and then I hear someone who does not have the same certainties as me, but I am optimistic by nature ». The criticisms of Berlusconi? “Once someone was criticized if they talked about war, now criticism is raised from the left if someone talked about a ceasefire, nuclear disarmament, peace”.
Finally, the electoral law: «I don’t think it’s a priority for Italians. The next Parliament will take care of it. At this moment, occupying Parliament with months of guerrilla warfare over the Zan law or the electoral law would be out of this world, a very bad service ».
