The Salvini League takes root in Sardinia, the 5 stars collapse.
After its brilliant victory two weeks ago in the Abruzzo region, the right-wing coalition (League, Forza Italia, Fratelli d'Italia ...) won the regional election in Sardinia.

Senator of the League, Christian Solinas, 42, beat the candidate of the 5-star Movement (M5S) with 48% of votes against 32.9% for the center-left candidate and 11.2% for the candidate of the center-left movement. M5S.

These results clearly illustrate the rise of the League of Matteo Salvini and the growing difficulties of his ally of the 5-star movement in the government, Luigi Di Maio. In Sardinia, the Movement loses more than 30% of the vote in relation to the 2018 parliamentary elections. A failure that is much more bitter than that of the center-left coalition.

" No risk of government crisis "

Concretely, this vote confirms the growing success of the head of the League Matteo Salvini, strongman of the right-wing coalition that supported Christian Solinas. This election also illustrates the disillusionment of many voters of the 5-star movement who blame him for his political subordination to the very right-handed Salvini. The 5 stars also pay high prices, the approximations with which the majority has led Italy so far.

The two vice presidents of the Council, Matteo Salvini and Luigi di Maio, however, ensure that there is " no risk of government crisis ".
This is despite the fact that the differences between the two populist groups in power are increasing day by day.
