New challenge of the squares between the leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, and the "sardine" movement, against the backdrop of the regional elections in Emilia Romagna next January 26th. "All over the world one goes to the streets to protest against government decisions, health care, pensions, work or taxes. In Italy, people go to the streets against the opposition and when they are asked why they answer" because they are dangerous ' ". This was said by Matteo Salvini in Rimini in clear reference to the "sardine" people who gathered a few dozen meters from where he held his meeting. "In recent weeks we are fighting and fighting until December to limit the damage caused by an economic maneuver that in Romagna risks leaving tens of thousands of workers at home," Salvini added in his rally in Rimini. "Let's think of the 5-star geniuses who are risking leaving thousands of workers and workers in Ravenna for oil & gas at home. Let's think of those geniuses who gave birth to the sugar tax and the plastic tax that is likely to do sensational damage. , both in Emilia and in Romagna and who gave birth to the tax on company cars and now to make cash they are thinking of postponing repayments for those who make the 730 ". And ironically: "Probably the last will be the tax on selfies, and here will be a problem". And then: "They start sending me on the mail, various grandmothers, grandparents and teachers, messages that tell me 'Do something because in my son's kindergarten they cancel Christmas, in my son's school they forbid the crib, they don't let you do the songs of Christmas'. These are dangerous characters, because whoever cancels Christmas, who cancels history, culture, identity and tradition cannot transmit values ​​", said the leader of the League during the meeting in Rimini. The challenge of sardines It is a square full of "sardines" that of Rimini. The protesters, about 7 thousand according to estimates, have occupied not only the Vecchia Pescheria, as was the program of the flashmob, but also the overlooking Piazza Cavour. Among the inhabitants of Rimini there are those who remember a square so full only for the funerals of Federico Fellini, who died 26 years ago. The protesters - families, boys, old people - sang 'Bella ciao' and 'Romagna mia' and made a giant blue sardine run around the square with 'Romagna is this' written on it. Among the signs are the writings: 'Salvini per te only margarine in piadina' and 'Più sardine, meno capitoni'. The square was guarded by the police.
