Milan, 27 Sept. (LaPresse) – “The week that is drawing to a close has been an intense one, full of emotions, battles and tangible results. And I simply must start with last Sunday. What a spectacle at Pontida! Thousands of women and men, young people, families, party activists and local councillors from all over Italy once again filled our large open field with flags, enthusiasm and passion. A great celebration of the people, a great celebration of the League. A vibrant, strong and united community, which has once again shown that it is here and has a great desire to fight for its ideas.” So writes the Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, in today’s edition of the newsletter ‘La settimana leghista’. “For 30 years they have been writing the League off, yet here we still are. More determined than ever. From the stage at Pontida, we clearly set out the battles for the coming months. And this week we have already achieved significant results: we have halted the ban on Euro 5 diesel cars, taken another step towards scrapping the Rai licence fee, approved new school regulations against the burqa and niqab and to promote genuine integration, secured the final go-ahead for the enabling act on nuclear power, and continued to push forward with regional autonomy. All in all, not bad for a party that some people still write off as dead,” he concludes.
