The day after the no of Federico Sboarina, outgoing mayor and candidate of the Brothers of Italy and the League in Verona, Matteo Salvini's analysis arrives to an appearance with Flavio Tosi in the ballot.
A decision seen as "a huge mistake".
Salvini told reporters that he had heard both protagonists of the controversy: "I hope that the friends of the Brothers of Italy will think again. The vote on Sunday - he added - says that the united center wins".
A united vote that in Verona "exceeds 60%".
"We thank Tosi and Forza Italia for the official opening to the appearance, as well as President Silvio Berlusconi, but ours is a choice of consistency, certainly courageous, but respectful of the electorate and for us this aspect comes before everything else ”Sboarina said yesterday at a press conference.
With 24% of the votes, Tosi will be the tip of the balance between him and Damiano Tommasi, who came out of the first round with 40.5% of the votes.
"I have said and told what I would do: the agreement" pointed out Matteo Salvini: "and this starting from no personal sympathy for Tosi.
But the voters are always right and if one gets 20% it means that he has good ideas.
If you think you are doing something less than someone - he added - you risk losing. "
"I hope they will reconsider", concluded the leader of the League.
Sunday 26 June there will be the vote to decide the first citizen of the Scaligero capital.
