Salvini's announcement: General Vannacci candidate with the League for the European elections in all constituencies

'I am happy that a man of value like General Vannacci has decided to pursue his battles for freedom together with the League in the European Parliament'. He will do so 'in all the constituencies'. This was said by League leader Matteo Salvini, formalising the candidature of Roberto Vannacci in the European elections during the presentation of his book 'Controvento' at the Istituto dei Ciechi in Milan.

"I confirm my esteem for Minister Salvini and subscribe to his statement. I will be an independent candidate who maintains his own identity and who will fight, with courage, to affirm his values of homeland, traditions, family, sovereignty and identity, which I share abundantly with the League'. Thus General Roberto Vannacci, after the announcement of his candidature by the leader of the Lega

With Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, 'the more we get to know each other, the more personal the relationship becomes. We have been in government together for a year and a half, we have two very tough characters and, however, we have understood that our duty is to keep our commitment to the Italians' so that the executive 'lasts for all five years'. Thus the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, Matteo Salvini, at the presentation of his book 'Controvento' (Against the Wind) at the Fondazione Istituto dei Ciechi in Milan. "Our destinies are crossed" and in the government "you cannot compete internally, the opponents are outside".
