Milan, May 27 (LaPresse) – Venice “was the most important city and the right has been confirmed. It is a pity we did not turn it around. But in Venice Simone Venturini won, not Giorgia Meloni,” said Matteo Renzi, leader of Italia Viva, in an interview with the newspaper La Repubblica. “This time the difference was not made by Meloni and Salvini, but by an under-40 candidate who got 30 percent on his own. He deserves compliments,” Renzi added. When asked whether the centre-left lost this round of local elections, Renzi replied: “Numerically we won the first round: we took back capitals that were previously on the right, such as Pistoia and Avellino. And in the run-offs we will increase the gap. Now the important thing is not to fall into whining. We lost Venice, not the war. An appeal: enough Tafazzi on the left.”
