Salvini: “This candidacy is called democracy”
Returning to the name, proposed by him, of General Vannacci in the Northern League lists, in an interview with the “Corriere della Sera” Matteo Salvini explains that that candidacy “is called democracy. If someone legitimately decides to nominate a person who is in prison for the abroad with very serious accusations, why shouldn’t a man who has served and defended Italy in the world, from Iraq to Afghanistan, ask the Italians for their vote?”.
Hundred: “No comment”
Instead, a “no comment” arrives on the matter from the vice president of the Senate Gian Marco Centinaio, who clarifies: “I said in recent days that I would vote for those who have made a mess in the area and I confirm. Fortunately, there are preferences and, of course, Consequently, you can vote for one just as you can vote for many others. And there are many other valid ones in my party. My position does not change.”
Vannacci: “I would like to give a better Italy”
And the person concerned, speaking on “Un giorno da pecora” on Radio 1, says that he has “decided in the last few days” on his candidacy. “Three days ago – he specifies -. And I wrote a message to Salvini on WhatsApp. He replied that he was very happy with the decision. When? Around the 22nd. I thought about it a lot. I would like to give them an Italy and a Better Europe”.
Crosetto: “Vannacci Northern League candidate? It’s been known for months”
Defense Minister Guido Crosetto also intervenes on Vannacci’s candidacy, commenting: “It was clear for months that he would do so. He will certainly be elected and the European institutions will be able to enjoy his contribution of ideas and values. I am sure that his presence will help electorally the League. A win-win choice, as they say. For him, for the League and for the army”.
Crippa to Crosetto: “You too can apply”
Crosetto immediately received the reply from Northern League deputy secretary Andrea Crippa: “He too has a large following in the armed forces and in Leonardo. And since he has such a large following, he should run and compete in a difficult and expensive electoral campaign. The minister also said that Vannacci has the same sense of the State as Salvini. Well, let him also demonstrate that he has a sense of the State, make a contribution, count himself and take the preferences in a tiring and expensive electoral campaign. This would also be a win-win operation for everyone and, given Crosetto’s experience in Leonardo, he would make a great contribution to the European centre-right”.
