January 27, 2020 "I start from Calabria, we have focused a lot on Emilia-Romagna, even in the media. In Calabria the League had never presented itself to the regional, now for the first time with our symbol on the card and we are head to head in to be the first center-right party. " Matteo Salvini said it in the press conference after the regional ones in a hotel on the outskirts of Bologna. "I will be in Calabria this week to thank the voters, and to give a government and government team as quickly as possible in a massacred land."Absolutely satisfied
"Finally it was a night where we slept a few hours. We do an analysis of the vote even though many seats are open. I got up absolutely satisfied, not only because we did, I, Lucia and the whole team, all that humanly, it is possible to do even more. Yesterday we slept with nine regional councilors between Emilia-Romagna and Calabria, today we get up with double seats open ".
With Emilia Romagna appointment only postponed
"Here we opposed 9 directors until yesterday, now 13 or 14 directors. It is a passage, it means that we have done a lot and we must do more, we are preparing for 5 years of passionate opposition because the change in Emilia Romagna is only postponed. "
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful result
"I am proud of Lucia Borgonzoni", says Matteo Salvini from Bologna in the aftermath of the defeat at the Emilia-Romagna regional. "It is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful result. Having the League at 32% in a reality that is a fort and a fortress for the Democratic Party, is an enormous satisfaction. Now we must deserve a million consents and we will start working already tomorrow. We are many, never too many, but many "." In Emilia-Romagna an exciting ride, after 70 years there was a game "
Won 8 of 9 elections, ready for the other 6 in the spring
"Thanks to the millions of people who voted for us." "So far there have been 9 regional elections, we have won 8 out of 9, it could have been worse. I am a perfectionist and I would have preferred to have done 9 out of 9, but there are six in the spring and we are already working for the teams."
If it had been a national vote we would have won
As for the national scenario "I look at my house and I do not comment on the problems of others, but both in Calabria and in Emilia-Romagna the whole center-right coalition has shown compactness. It is clear that if yesterday had been voted nationally the center-right would have stra -Won. When you vote nationally it's in the hands of the good God to know. "
I don't see it well for Pd and M5s
Matteo Salvini says so, commenting on the vote today in Bologna with candidate Lucia Borgonzoni: "I don't see her happy either for Pd or for 5Stelle, because the center-right took 55% in Calabria and 45% in Emilia-Romagna. Now in government there are two political forces, one of which is in enormous difficulty, but it is not for me to comment. " "M5s disappears in Emilia-Romagna and Calabria". "I don't enjoy the misfortunes of others, but the M5s in Calabria does not even enter the Regional Council, there has been a shift to the left".
In certain contexts never seen violence
"There is something to be reviewed in the democratic system in Emilia-Romagna. We would never have expected arrogance and violence in certain contexts".
For Gregoretti, I await the Senate vote
"National issues like justice, milleproroghe and debate on the MES await us, and I wait with a smile for the Senate vote that decides if I have to go to trial, we have exciting weeks ahead".
Center-right candidate Lucia Borgonzoni also commented on the vote
"We still have problems succeeding in intercepting the vote in the big cities, we see a clear difference with the smaller centers like Goro or others, where we have taken a lot of votes. In the provinces the vote is generally different from that of the cities. We will try to understand why, our message passes less there than what happens in other realities ".
Opposition starts from tomorrow
"Tomorrow morning I already think I will meet" the regional opposition councilors, "if we can get the data of who has been elected, because we still don't know". Lucia Borgonzoni promises it, who does not explicitly certify the intention to resign from the Senate to lead the opposition in Emilia-Romagna but ensures that she will immediately start working "with the elected officials of the League, and I hope that there will also be data from others coalition parties, to start putting down all the points to see that the promises made become real answers in the Regional Council and for all those things we said had to be changed, one above all the health ". Borgonzoni adds: "I will be there, I will be there together with the whole group of the Lega to give answers to the citizens. When a million people choose this coalition it is because they have chosen an idea of the region that works and is a little closer to the people in difficulty".
