BARI – «Finally an open game in Bari, because in past years a divided, split, quarrelsome centre-right has never truly contested Bari and the Puglia region. Now, however, there is a different atmosphere, not only because of the investigations, the controversies, the mafia issues, but because there is an idea of a different, beautiful, young, clean city. There is a desire for change, we will definitely see each other again for the runoff. I count on many people from Bari choosing the League, choosing the centre-right.” The leader of the said it Lega Matteo Salvini in Bari for a rally with the candidate for mayor Fabio Romito.
The objective of the League at the European elections “is to grow with respect to policies”. «In my opinion, the League will be the best and strongest surprise of these European elections. I have done a lot of electoral campaigns, I also hear in Puglia many people who did not vote for us in the latest elections because they had not shared the government with the Democratic Party, with the 5 Stars, with Draghi and Speranza. And now he recognizes that the League on the Europe to be changed is the only one with clear ideas, so I am convinced that we will go far. The General Vannacci he will be one of the most voted not only in the South but in all of Italy and of all the parties” added Salvini.
«No controversy» with President Sergio Mattarella, «I defend the national interest and national sovereignty. I will not cede any more pieces of Italy to the European Union. If we were to cede military sovereignty to Europe, if we had the only defense in Europe, tomorrow Macron would send our children to the slaughter, to fight and die in Ukraine or to use weapons to bomb and kill in Russia. So let’s hold onto our Italy and our sovereignty tightly, because we have already sold off pieces of Italy in past decades, due to the faults of others, almost always on the left, I’m thinking of Prodi. The President of the Republic is the guarantor of the Constitution and the Constitution repudiates war. We hate war.” The leader of the League Matteo said this Salvini in Bari for a rally with the mayoral candidate Fabio Romito.
«The choice in favor of the League» at the European Championships «is first and foremost a choice of peace, there are too many winds of war, too many warmongers, too many Macrons. I want a time of peace for our children. So we have chosen a general, who fought the war, who knew how infamous war is, to go and build peace. If we listen to Macron it will end badly for Italy.”
During the rally of the Minister of Transport Matteo Salvini, a protest also broke out by a group of pro-Palestine demonstrators who started shouting: «Shame, free Palestine». The group of protesters with chants and banners expressed their disappointment by singing: “I hate the League.” «Salvini is an enemy of the South and an accomplice to the genocide. Get out of Bari”: this is the banner displayed by a small group of young people who thus protested the presence of the minister and deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini in Bari, in Piazza Diaz. The protesters also displayed a Palestinian flag. A few chants, a few whistles that didn’t stop Salvini from speaking.
