Vannacci splits the League. The general’s EU candidacy (in all the constituencies and as leader in the Center constituency only) strongly supported by the national leader, Matteo Salvinicontinues to fuel tensions and controversies in the Northern League.
And not just for his latest outbursts, starting with the proposal for differentiated classes for disabled people in schools. Within the party the problem being raised is above all political.
Coming out into the open is the Friuli Venezia Giulia League which, as the newspapers report The small And Il Messaggero Venetorejects Roberto Vannacci’s candidacy, taking the same position as the governor Massimiliano Fedriga. Who has already made it known that he will not vote for the general: “I am very happy with the three candidates from Friuli Venezia Giulia and only three preferences are possible.”

Second Roberto Visentinamong the founders of the League in the region heard from The small“Vannacci’s choice is consistent with the drift of Salvini towards the extreme right”, speaks of a League that is moving “towards positions that I scrupulously avoid defining neo-fascist only because today the term is much abused”, while recognizing that “from the point of view of mere electoral consensus perhaps Vannacci will bring some points in more, taking it away from Meloni”.
He echoes him Francesco Morofirst-time Friulian Northern League member: “Now what is the League’s project Salvini? The bridge over the Strait of Messina? Vannacci? The fact that Salvini welcomes into the party people who have zero to do with the League doesn’t sit well with me.”

It also breaks lines Claudio Violin, another veteran of the party: “Moving away from issues such as federalism and autonomy makes no sense, as does veering to the right, passing through a duplicate of the Brothers of Italy – cuts short -. Between the copy and the original, who does a voter vote for? If Fdi and Lega say the same things, it makes more sense to vote for Meloni.”
The former mayor of Udine doesn’t make any concessions either Pietro Fontaniniwhich invites the party to “recover the DNA of the movement, autonomy and federalism”.
