They will often pair up during this election campaign. In a show that can be titled: the Captain and the General. One is Matteo Salvini, the other is Roberto Vannacci. Since in the League only the party secretary wanted the military candidate and leader (in central Italy), he himself – Salvini – in a sort of “I don’t care” about the criticisms of his followers, took on the task of supporting Vannacci and to take him around Italy and at the same time to be taken on tour by him who is considered a brand. The fact is that tomorrow, at the Temple of Hadrian, a place that is institutional and at the same time spectacular, the Captain (he announced it himself) and the General will together present the latest literary effort of the first of the two: «Controvento». Prepare the popcorn because it will be a show of mutual aid: Salvini must demonstrate to everyone that his is always a “Leninist party” where the leader commands and decides, and therefore Vannacci is on the field and I will guarantee Vannacci even if no one follows me, and Vannacci who is the author of a best-seller (“The world in reverse”) with 250 thousand copies, acts as a tutor specialized in book presentations and shows for Salvini and guarantees the secretary media coverage for this event because the generalissimo attracts the media like no other In this sentence.
Vannacci: «Giorgetti? I am not interested. Never said that disabled people should be separated. Just a single thought.” And Salvini presents the book with the general
In short, a couple’s game is on stage, with strong political-electoral motivations and this will not be the only opportunity to see the two on the same stage. One proclaims his “I don’t care!” and the other announces his “I obey!” to his own “moral imperative” which is what – as he explained yesterday in an interview on YouTube – which pushed him to “commit to defending our identity as Italians”. And he added: «Do the Northern League members see me as a usurper? I understand them, I’m not one of them. In any case, the voters will write the name on the ballot and decide who was right.” Challenge all the soldier. And pure challenge, after the disabled case, Giorgetti? «His words against me? I don’t care what Giorgetti thinks.”
Vannacci is needed by Salvini to have that coveted 3 percent which could be worth the general in the polls and would be decisive to go from 7 to 10 percent and perhaps to overtake Forza Italia. And in any case, before the polls tell the truth (is Vannacci a champion or a failed promise?), hopes and fears focus on him and every word that is uttered in these hours, rightly or wrongly, ends up being connected to the Salvini’s new acquisition. Yesterday, for example, Meloni said at the end of the rally in Pescara, referring to her participation in the European Championships: “I have always considered myself a soldier and soldiers, when they have to, do not hesitate to take the front line.” Could it be – many are wondering – a reference to the neo-League general with whom Giorgia will compete, from list leader to list leader, for the votes in the Center constituency?
Vannacci shakes the League, Giorgetti freezes. The general tries to defend himself: «No offense»
For tomorrow Salvini’s problem is to bring the troops to the Roman event. But Durigon and the other Lazio exponents very close to the Captain (a nickname now almost out of use) will guarantee attendance. However, no one can guarantee the absence of possible protests on the eve of the event. Because now at all levels, within the Lega, declarations like this, at Fedriga, are multiplying: «I will not vote for Vannacci».
THE AVENGER
Meanwhile, he observed yesterday: «They are imposing a single thought on us by falsifying reality and people are annoyed, they want to return to the original values. Going against the grain and making statements bordering on the banal, therefore, awakens the curiosity and interest of many Italians.” This is not a matter of imaginary reasoning. Indeed, they can capture the sentiment of all those who feel subjugated by progressive ideology and who perhaps see their avenger in the generality of the politically incorrect (on Europe, immigrants, gays). People who are in all segments of the right-wing electorate and not just the extreme right, and who are also in the vast world of those who have not voted so far. In FdI, in fact, the Vannacci threat is not underestimated. While few in the League trust him and this refrain goes around: “He uses us like a wagon to go to Brussels and then he will leave us.”
