Corso Numistrano di Lamezia is the setting of the center -right convention, ready to launch the sprint to Roberto Occhiuto in view of the electoral competition of 5 and 6 October. Many people waiting here on a Tuesday of autumn with a summer flavor (there are 27 degrees). All the leaders of the center -right today in Lamezia Terme to support Roberto Occhiuto’s candidacy for the presidency of the Calabria Region. To open the event, the president of Fratelli d’Italia and Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni. The national secretary of Forza Italia Antonio Tajani, the leader of the League Matteo Salvini, the president of the UDC Antonio De Poli, the president of us with Italy Maurizio Lupi and the former deputy Laura Castelli for South, will intervene with her.
Giorgia Meloni: “We will work to win as we did in the Marche”
“It is very important for us – said Prime Minister Meloni – to return to people to collect enthusiasm to continue working hard. Thanks to Occhiuto for having wanted us here, he called us in advance, however – he underlined referring to the choice to resign the former governor of Calabria – and it is a choice that I share. In our DNA, citizens have to say if we have to go home or not. This is our idea of democracy. On the wake of that of another great person who was Jole Santelli.
“The wide field – Meloni said again – is an unnatural alliance. There has also been a jackal about themes like war, but citizens are not stupid, they do not vote for the Democratic Party behind the promise to have a state in Palestine”. There was no lack of passages of criticism towards the oppositions, in particular against the so -called “wide field”: “It is an unnatural alliance. There has also been a jackal of themes such as war, but citizens are not stupid, they do not vote for the Democratic Party behind the promise of having a state in Palestine. That peace was also voted by the opposition.
“In the foreign press – continued Meloni – they speak of” Italian miracle “and someone already spoke here that they have a technical government … After the citizenship income, they proposed the income of” regionlanza “, but instead we see you a people with dignity that must receive respect”.
“There is still a lot of work to do – he added – in an area like this, and it is a job that we have started and that we want to bring to the end. The goal of Occhiuto in Calabria is looking at medium and long term development: in the last 4 years the narration of Calabria has changed thanks to the center -right coalition. The perception of this land is changing”.
Antonio Tajani: “Occhiuto transformed Calabria”
“The vote will bring Occhiuto to the presidency: we will win 2-0 in Calabria, we won the first half 1-0 in the Marche yesterday”, with optimism Antonio Tajani made his own on the stage of Corso Numistrano. Then an exhortation: “Vote Occhiuto because he transformed Calabria. He has always had the ability to dialogue the national government. Thanks to him there have been great spotlights, never lit up to this region. He has organized the G7 in Reggio and Gioia Tauro. Since those days Calabria has been a European region”.
Then an eulogy in Southern Italy and a look at the international situation: “Without the great workers left from the South there would not have been the great North Industrial North. Before climbing on the stage I asked the Israeli Foreign Minister not to use violence against Flotilla because they come at peace”.

Matteo Salvini: “The bridge will be a great operation against the ‘Ndrangheta”
“Make a applause that reaches the square … of Schlein” began the leader of the Carroccio. “Roberto’s speech excited me. In Calabria I warn the same climate of the Marche, where we won. On the war front – Salvini said – we hope that the next few hours are decisive for international peace. And we are all attentive to the next problem that we will have: that of Islamic extremism and fanaticism. We blocked the landings of illegal immigrants in Italy because they had promised it and the left has sent me to the trial. Judgment of the Court of Cassation and risk up to six years in prison: but defending the borders is not a crime, if anything a duty.
There is a fundamental work – said Salvini – that the left is doing everything to disassemble: the bridge. Which instead is an opportunity for development, an assist for young people. I give you my word of honor that I do and I will do everything that, after decades of chatter, the bridge over the close becoming reality. They will come from Germany and Japan to see how good we are to have given 130 thousand jobs. The bridge will be a great operation against the ‘Ndrangheta, 2025 will be the year of the opening of the construction sites and will not stop us “.
“If in the Marche – continued Salvini – we have seen with 8 points ahead, on Monday evening we will tear the regional elections”.

Roberto Occhiuto: “I would like us that we did not limit ourselves to winning, but to overflow”
“The leaders of the center -right are by my side, all those who made me work with strength and determination, today we have their support. Do you remember Calabria 4 years ago? Today instead we speak well of Calabria. The garbage in our city reached the close -ups of the buildings, today the problem does not exist because we have a disposal plan. I remember the protests of the forest workers who went up on the roofs and threatened to throw themselves. We came out of it. These are the first words of Roberto Occhiuto from the stage of Corso Numistrano.
“I government this region – continued Occhiuto – and I love it because I have it in my heart. That’s why I speak well”.
And again on the results obtained: “The airport system has improved also. This year we have reached the historical record of passengers in the Calabrian airports and we are improving the infrastructures. And the 106, the path of death? The governments had invested a maximum of 1 billion, in 2 years this government has invested 3 and in a few weeks the work will begin”.
“We are doing an honest election campaign – said the former governor – not to talk badly about Calabria and I do it by turning for the 5 provinces of Calabria” he highlighted.
Then some arrows to the main opponent Pasquale Tridico: “They turn for the hospitals with Conte who was the Prime Minister who appointed the commissioners before me. I invested in healthcare, the others do not and thanks to the Cuban doctors, not many hospitals have been closed. In a few weeks we will exit only from the commissioner and we will do the largest reform of the health system. And speculating on people’s suffering “.
“They – he added – propose the income of dignity that cannot be done and deceives the voters, we propose the income of merit that is more credible because it concerns a more restricted but more decisive audience: university students who tend to migrate. We give them an incentive if they register in the Calabrian universities and maintain the average of the 27: they receive 500 euros per month”.
“I resigned – explained Occhiuto – because otherwise I would have condemned Calabria to one year of immobility. The Calabrians will decide those who will govern it even if this choice made the opposition angry. I would like us that we did not just win but to overflow”.

Maurizio Lupi: “We must continue with the good government of Calabria”
“Politics is the only tool for making answers to citizens – said former minister Maurizio Lupi, leader of us moderate – a hug to the Marche that have made the center -right win. A direct message to Schlein, to Conte, Bonelli, Fratoianni and Renzi. Today we are here in Calabria and there is to be supported this coalition. The most important thing we have to do is to continue in good government. The wide field here has nominated a president who has cleared the income of Cittadinanza. Which takes away dignity and through welfare does not guarantee work: work give it businesses, not the state.

Laura Castelli – South Call Nord
“Honored for being here, thanks for the courage to be in a Calabria that runs. In Parliament every time there was a decree, Occhiuto asked how to improve it to improve Calabria. Only this is a good way to do politics. Occhiuto we support him as a south call north because he deserves it. We work in silence to solve people’s problems, inspired by a politician like Cateno De Luca. So potential and they will notice it. To say it is Laura Castelli di Sud calls Nord.

Antonio de Poli (UDC National Secretary)
The Occhiuto program is made of concrete things: he has taken a health care healthy in his hand and after ten years they are in order. More than 5000 inserted doctors, 52milq jobs. This president makes the facts. The UDC will be by his side. The future in Calabria speaks center -right, Roberto Occhiuto speaks

Mario Murone, mayor of Lamezia
“Welcome authority, today for us it is not only a political appointment. From the number of people present our city is the center of regional and national attention. The center -left thought of conquering Lamezia and then taking the region but instead not. And we will also reaffirm in these elections. There is a thread between Lamezia, region and government and we will see it today. We have given concrete results”. Today we will have the future president of the Region and Lamezia in front of the future of the future of Calabria. I dream of a city-region Lamezia. Today’s Claik is “now Lamezia, now Occhiuto president”.
