Salvini’s announcement in Milan: happy that Vannacci has decided to continue his battles for freedom together with the League
The general Roberto Vannacci sar candidate for the European elections with the League in all constituencies. He announced it Matteo Salvini.
I am happy that a man of value like General Vannacci has decided to continue his battles for freedom together with the League in the European Parliament, said the Minister of Infrastructure and Deputy Prime Minister speaking at the presentation of his book Controvento. The Italy that doesn’t give up, in Milan. If the theme is freedom, said Salvini, I remember with horror last summer, when Vannacci was struck down because an army general who served the country and defended his men and his boys had dared to write a book.
I confirm my esteem for Minister Salvini and I sign his statement. He will be an independent candidate who maintains his own identity and who will fight, with courage, to affirm their values of homeland, traditions, family, sovereignty and identity which I abundantly share with the League. Vannacci’s book – The world upside down – became a case for the general’s positions on gays, immigration, feminists, animal rights activists, surrogate motherhood and the law on feminicide.
Defense Minister Guido Crosetto reacted by defining those of Vannacci personal ramblings, and said he had acted not to impede the right to opinion of anyone, citizen or politician: I am and act as the Minister of Defense. You can be politically correct, incorrect or whatever you want. I too have been accused of being one. But I must be, in my current role, “institutionally correct”. And enforce the internal rules of the military world and the external ones valid for everyone. Anyone who feels right-wing has, or at least should have, absolute respect for the rules.
Meanwhile, the news of the candidacy is already fueling the political controversy. The announcement of Vannacci’s candidacy by the League on the day of Liberation Day a further slap from the governing right to the memory and anti-fascist values. Proud to carry forward ideas exactly opposite to his in this electoral campaign. The Democratic Party deputy, candidate for the European elections, Alessandro Zan, writes it on X.
