«I thank the one who started it all, I wasn't there 40 years ago, I was born in 1973 and I got my first card in '90. Without Umberto Bossi we wouldn't be here and millions of Italians wouldn't talk about freedom ."
Thus Matteo Salvini at the Lega party in Varese, in the aftermath of the words of the founder of the Northern League who called for a change of leadership that brings the northern question back to the centre.
«I also thank Maroni who led the League in the most complicated months», adds Salvini, «I have been doing the best of my possibilities for 10 years with soul, time and heart, also taking risks in private life to carry forward our ideals».
Again, regarding Bossi: «I have been in the League for thirty years and I am used to Umberto Bossi's insulting and polemical phone calls at night and during the day , so I need them to understand and improve. Today I invited him, he made other choices but that's okay . Bossi can say what he wants, for me it's always useful advice."
