«There’s a conference. I am from the League and I am running” also to say “that we are not a far-right party. We are federalists and we are the party of the territories.” Thus to Ansa the senator of the League Massimo Garavaglia.
«They portray us as extreme but that’s not the case. The League is the League” adds Garavaglia, who underlines that he has also spoken about his candidacy with the governor of Lombardy Attilio Fontana: “Of course, he is a friend – replies the president of the Senate Finance Commission -. But I have many friends throughout Italy.”
Cantalamessa: Garavaglia will have his reasons for running but Lega is not far right
«Garavaglia will have his reasons for running but Matteo Salvini is not a far-right politician. The League is and remains a party that defends identity and territories. It is a party that was created for the defense of territories, I have been in the League for 14 years precisely for this reason and I believe that it is the only party that can represent the future and certainly not far right”. Senator Gianluca Cantalamessa said this when asked by Ansa about the candidacy for secretary of the Northern League announced by senator Massimo Garavaglia in view of the extraordinary party congress scheduled for 24 and 25 October.
