«I received two phone calls from Umberto Bossi. I didn’t hear the first one. The second was his driver who told me: “I’ll pass the boss on to you”.

And Reguzzoni, as you know, presents himself as an independent candidate of Forza Italia.” To tell it is Paolo Grimoldi, former parliamentarian and secretary of the Lombard League, reached by telephone. «He had an angry voice because the League is no longer being the League», he adds. «Vannacci?

Salvini: Vannacci will be highly voted
Words, those spread by Bossi, who came a few hours after those of the leader of the League Matteo Salvini.
