«Reggio Calabria will be our Saxony. We aim to win. Forza Italia has nominated a Roman lawyer who has never seen the Strait, catapulted there by the Berlusconi family. We, however, have a doctor who has been involved in politics there for years and who everyone knows.”
Thus, in an interview with Fatto Quotidiano, the leader of Futuro Nazionale Roberto Vannacci, in a parallel between the appointment of the by-elections in Reggio Calabria and the recent electoral victory of Afd in Saxony.
As regards relations with Forza Italia and the Berlusconi brothers, Marina and Piersilvio, Vannacci cuts it short: «I’m ready to confront anyone. Afterwards she seemed to be the boss of the party, so much so that Tajani ran to her to consult. Instead, the brother spoke about us in terms more open to comparison.”
