Matteo Salvini arrived in Lanusei five minutes after midday. The leader of the League was welcomed by the crowd at the Tonio Dei theater in Lanusei where he met his candidates for the upcoming regional elections in support of Paolo Truzzu.
After the usual greetings with the civil and military authorities, the Minister of Infrastructure spoke with journalists. On the completion of state road 125 , in the stretch between Ogliastra and Cagliari, Salvini was categorical: " We want to keep that commitment ." He was referring to the words he himself had pronounced last July 17, on the occasion of the opening of the section of the 125 Var between Tortolì and Bari Sardo, making the commitment to design the Tertenia-San Priamo axis in one year. Salvini went on stage wearing a white sweatshirt with the writing Ogliastra .
« The development of the island is roads and railways. Construction sites provide work . The alternative is to travel around Sardinia with Toninelli of the 5 stars and electric scooters."
The minister also spoke on the topic of justice, which is very topical in the area, with the future of the prison in the balance and the court awaiting top positions for some time: " The Lanusei Court is fundamental ", said Salvini, who on the sidelines of the his speech met with the leaders of the Lanusei Bar Association.
The minister also focused on the lack of telephone signal in various areas of Sardinia , including the axis between Cagliari and Ogliastra. «Two-thirds have no telephone network or data connection. This cannot exist. Phone companies say they have more interest in installing repeaters in more densely populated areas. The public's task is to stimulate investments even where there are fewer people. We are in 2024 and if you are not connected it is difficult to sell your product."
Salvini , recalling that he was accused in the Open Arms trial for blocking the disembarkation of 150 migrants from the NGO ship in Lampedusa, : «The left says that borders are a category of the spirit. We have unemployed, disabled and pensioners at a minimum and there is no money and houses for everyone. The Sardinians come first and then the rest of the world, the Italians come first and then the rest of the world."
