«For me it is a dream to be here. The Calabrians who meet, not these days but for years, have asked me for work, work, work, I don’t think or pats on the shoulders ». The vice premier and leader of the League Matteo Salvini in Reggio Calabria said it. «We – he added – we have construction sites open in Calabria for 22 billion euros that have never been there. It means that many boys, many workers, many engineers, many companies are working. To these, we add the 13 and a half billion of the bridge that will create more work, less traffic, less pollution, less spending and attention from all over the world on Calabria in positive: the news of the world will talk about Calabria not for problems, but for hope, skill, genius and opportunities. I think that on Sunday and Monday the center -right in general, and the League in particular, will collect an extraordinary result here in Calabria ».
“I have many mayors who have made requests – continued the Minister of Infrastructure -. This morning I met a mayor of a different color from mine who appealed against the bridge. To be clear, the mayor of Villa San Giovanni, who has been waiting for a port for 30 years and waits to recover the promenade. I have been to the shoulder strap where the workers are working to connect Reggio directly to the airport, another thing they had been waiting for for 15 years. So it was a very concrete election campaign where we talked about Calabria, not from Trump of Palestine or Putin or Netanyahu. And I think the Calabrians will reward us ».
Salvini to the no bridge: “You are welcome, we prefer yes”
«No bridge, no tav, among the no and yes we prefer yes. An applause to those ten leftists who do not have a square they have to come to us, you are welcome ». So Matteo Salvini aimed at the demonstrators who are whistling the interventions of the League rally in Reggio Calabria at the end of the election campaign for the regional ones. «Put yourself in their shoes – he says to the square of his supporters – are so convinced that they have lost that they do not make a rally in Reggio Calabria and we host them. Sunday and Monday do not miss, strain ».
When the “Assassin” choir climbs the chore at the bottom of the square, Salvini interrupts his speech and replies: “They finally found the right adjective for the Hamas cuts that hold the Palestinian children and Israeli children hostage”. After observing that “I don’t want you to sing it my daughter in first grade”. The protest, he adds, is “the best representation of the fact that we are different, because in reversed parties to none of you – he always says to his supporters – he would think of coming here to break the boxes, one does not agree home, he makes love listens to the music, evidently they have free time”.
