Salvini challenges Meloni to get back in the polls and attacks the left: “He wants a country of subsidies”. And on Ukraine: “Enough talking about weapons, they will distance peace”

«We need to put work back at the center. On the left there is someone who sees a country founded on subsidies, which however deny work and create illegal work and unemployment. We have concrete proposals: flat tax, a 15% tax helps entrepreneurs and brings more money into the state coffers. Then fiscal peace, because there are a thousand billion Equitalia files on the heads of Italians like a noose. After two years of pandemic, it would be appropriate to pay for, remove and scrap these files. The reform of justice: there are referendums on June 12, which are a great tool for change for citizens ”. Thus the secretary of the League, Matteo Salvini, speaking on the sidelines of the convention “It is Italy we want” organized in Rome.
But the one who speaks is a leader of the League at 360 degrees, varying on several themes: not only of internal politics, with the challenge to Giorgia Meloni, leader of FdI, after the collapse of the polls that brought the League under Fratelli d’Italia , but also of international politics. He talks about war in Ukraine and diplomacy, Salvini, but also about the most recent news of Finland’s desire to join NATO: «What signal is the request from Finland and Sweden to join NATO? I think only in terms of peace. What brings peace closer must be done immediately, what takes away peace must be put on the waiting list. So the question is: does bringing NATO’s borders to the borders with Russia bring peace closer or not? I leave it to you to judge ». Then he added: «I am focused on today. And today is not the accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO, but convincing or forcing Ukraine and Russia to talk to each other again – he adds -. Then we will have the opportunity to talk about the enlargement of the EU, with the entry of Ukraine, and the accessions of Finland and Sweden to NATO in the coming months ». The desire of the leader of the League, therefore, “is to put those who have strayed back around a table. There is no discussion about who attacked and who rightly defended himself, there is no discussion about our roots in Western values ​​of freedom, respect, democracy and civil rights. Disputes are not resolved with weapons and tanks. We are in the third month of the war: it must be stopped ».
