Lega, Salvini: "È una e non servono partiti paralleli"

(LaPresse) "There are some former parliamentarians who would like to return to parliament, but the League is made up of militants, 500 mayors, tens of thousands of members, volunteers. It's not a few former parliamentarians looking for another job, so it affects me less than zero, and we're working on it." This was stated by League leader Matteo Salvini on the sidelines of a technical inspection at the Carabinieri station in the Torre Maura neighborhood of Rome. "I repeat, today there are 540 mayors working for the League in the office, from North to South. I answer to them. Not to some former parliamentarian who would like to return to a parliamentarian's salary, but will do something else with his life," he added. The meeting on Friday in Milan between Matteo Salvini and the Northern wing of the League and the governors of the North, which was speculated in today's newspapers, "is not confirmed." "There are no rebels" in the League, he emphasized, "there are people who work. I meet with them weekly, I will meet with them, but there's no need for parallel parties. We want to provide concrete answers. The North, like the Center and the South, doesn't want political alchemy, but it does want concrete answers." "There is one League. It's strong, it's growing, it governs 14 out of 20 regions," Salvini concluded.
