The regional councilor of Calabria Katya Gentile announced today her membership of the League. She was elected to the Council in 2021 on the Forza Italia list, but she left the party last April. The undersecretary for Labor and Social Policies and Northern League member Claudio Durigon participated in the press conference while the party secretary Matteo Salvini connected by telephone. Welcoming Gentile, Salvini said that the “Lega is a party that grows every day” and concluded by saying “let’s go and win these elections”.
“I felt at a certain point – said Katya Gentile – a lack of participation and involvement, which is what I missed and which was extinguishing my enthusiasm and passion that usually characterize my way of doing things, my actions politic. I looked around, I naturally had the opportunity to meet the centre-right parties, but the welcome I was given in the League was decisive in my choice. Among other things, the attention that Minister Salvini is dedicating to our territory is fundamental, so I believe that everything that is arriving in terms of investments, in such a determined and concrete way, requires all our political commitment for the development of Calabria”. “We will become six regional councilors – she concluded – and therefore some balances will certainly change, but we will continue the work already started.
In particular, a law on the youth observatory”. “Katia – argued Durigon – represents a huge addition for us which will increasingly strengthen our regional group. I believe that we can give even more strength and more life to what the territory is. With his entry we will have even more push.” “I believe that we – concluded Durigon – have truly fielded a beautiful team and I am convinced that we will be an excellent surprise. The attention of the government and of Minister Salvini towards Calabria is evident to everyone, so we will continue with the work started”. In the audience, watching, Katya Gentile’s father, Pino, a regional councilor several times. His uncle, Tonino, is a former Forza Italia senator.
