Key points
Laura Ravetto, deputy and head of the League's Equal Opportunities department, is leaving the Carroccio and going with General Roberto Vannacci and his Futuro Nazionale. The news was anticipated by the Repubblica website. "She is the first Carroccio bigwig to pass with the former paratrooper and his Futuro Nazionale' and the general's 'loyalists swear that Ravetto will not be the only one. Other leghist exponents would be ready to follow her in the coming weeks'.
Vannacci's welcome to Ravetto
'I am delighted to welcome Laura Ravetto into Futuro Nazionale. She is a political personality of consolidated experience, with five terms in Parliament and important roles held during her institutional activity, including that of undersecretary for relations with parliament in 2010 and head of Forza Italia's immigration department in 2019. I am certain that he will be able to make an important contribution to the growth and evolution of Futuro Nazionale,' says Futuro Nazionale leader Roberto Vannacci. "The formalisation of the entry and the official declarations -he continues- will take place on Thursday in Salsomaggiore Terme, on the occasion of the event 'War and Peace', scheduled at 9 p.m.".
Sardone (Lega): Ravetto? Elections are approaching, he will have had no guarantees from us
The deputy secretary of the League, Silvia Sardone, made a venomous comment: 'When political elections are approaching, switching from one party to another is unfortunately typical for many people, perhaps someone will join the League. When political elections approach and there are blocked lists, people who are less rooted in the territory tend to change parties. It is evident that' Laura Ravetto 'will not have had certain guarantees within the League, it seems to me factual'
Ravettto's political career from Forza Italia to Futuro nazionale
A historic member of Forza Italia, Ravetto switched to the Lega in 2020 and was elected to Parliament with Salvini's party in the last general election. A 55-year-old from Lombardy, she was an MP for five terms and in 2010 served as undersecretary for relations with Parliament in the Berlusconi IV government. Six years ago, on 19 November 2020, she broke away and joined the League. A choice shared, that same day, with MPs Federica Zanella and Maurizio Carrara, who were also former Forzisti. But precisely because she was a super-Berlusconian, Ravetto's exit caused the surprise and disappointment of the founder of FI who, at the time, had reminded his interlocutors that 'those who left FI have never had luck elsewhere'.
