"The League will be able to recover the consensus thanks to the results it will obtain in the center-right government - and
Matteo Salvini will have a fundamental role
- also starting from listening to the territory and valuing the many administrators, starting with the governors": this, in summary, the outcome of the long
Federal Council
of the Northern League,
which lasted almost 4 hours in via Bellerio
, in Milan.
“Full confidence”
is therefore confirmed to the
secretary
, despite the heavy and negative electoral result.
Salvini leaves the historic Lega headquarters without making any statements.
In place of him, some exponents do not fail to underline how the
meeting
"
went very well
", asking that Matteo
Salvini have a "weighty ministry"
in the next executive, playing a "leading role".
This was specified by the group leader in the Chamber,
Riccardo Molinari
.
When asked to specify which ministry, he replies: "We will decide with the other parties but the position of the League that leaves the federal board is that the best way to relaunch our political action is for our secretary to have a strong ministry. ".
In addition to the analysis of the vote, the need to continue the congress season to renew all the offices, starting with the city secretaries, was reiterated: the provincial secretaries will be celebrated by December and the regional ones will immediately follow ”.
The summit was attended, among others, by
Giancarlo Giorgetti
, the deputy secretaries
Andrea Crippa
and
Lorenzo Fontana
, the group leaders Riccardo Molinari,
Massimiliano Romeo
,
Marco Zanni
and the governors
Attilio Fontana
,
Massimiliano Fedriga
,
Maurizio Fugatti
,
Luca Zaia
.
“It went very well, we will hold regional congresses” says Massimiliano Fedriga, president of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, leaving the headquarters in via Bellerio.
When asked "Salvini yes or no?", Referring to the leadership of the secretary, Fedriga replied "Salvini yes".
From internal sources we learn that "great support for the federal secretary" by the board was expressed, with "the unanimous request - for a leading role for the federal secretary in the next center-right government".
The request made this morning by a historic Northern League leader like Roberto Maroni, to elect a new secretary, therefore seems, for now, set aside.
He did not fail to underline which are the "priorities" of the League: "the measures against
expensive bills
,
regional autonomy
and
Quota 41
".
The note specifies that "the League will ask to include the theme of autonomy in the first Council of Ministers".
Another Federal Council is expected next week, "to build the center-right government together".
