Renzo, who went from the left to the 5 stars in 2014, is convinced that the movement will not be crushed by the ultra-nationalist Matteo Salvini. " Salvini has waged a very hard campaign, " he says, " which has divided Italian society, and he will pay for it. The League will not reach 30% of the vote. We are here to protect Italians against anti-social liberalism. "
