«The success of President Occhiuto, the success of Forza Italia. So it’s a great success for me. The center -right is confirmed as a force that collects many consensus. It is clear that this is a vote for Calabria, but evidently nothing outside has influenced the vote of the Calabrians. If I expected such a overwhelming victory? We wait for the results, it’s too early ». To say the vice premier and secretary of Forza Italia Antonio Tajani, arriving at the hotel of Gizzeria where the headquarters of Roberto Occhiuto, an outgoing president and, according to the first instant polls is located, re -elected to the presidency of the Calabria region.
«I seem to understand from the first exit polls that Roberto Occhiuto, the center -right and Forza Italia could triumph, while Conte, the grillini, the Schlein and all the sinisters are yet another hole in the water. They navigate badly to the left ». Senator Maurizio Gasparri, national manager of Local Authorities of Forza Italia declares it.
