«Appointment at 2 pm, at studio 7 of the Roma Studios in via Tiburtina 521, in the capital»: this is the call to the sovereignist event of Identity and democracy (far-right group in the European Parliament) organized by the League of Matteo Salvini for Saturday in Rome. “The 1,500 available places have already been filled” the Northern League press office was careful to let it be known in order to respond to the rumors about the risk of flop due to the lack of participation of the party’s representatives.
Salvini: «The ID event brings people from all over the world for the other spa retreats»
«If an event that brings people from Lisbon, Paris, Vienna, Brussels and Washington to talk about work and the future is to be considered a flop… I have no news about the others, other than the two-day retreats in the spa – said the deputy prime minister and leader of the League Matteo Salvini, in a press conference after the Cipess meeting, talking about ‘Winds of Change’ -. Well, we prefer a half day of work to spa retreats and super luxury.” The leader of the French Rassemblement National Marine Le Pen, added, “will send a video message, we have already seen it, it will be very impactful and interesting”.
The Northern League member explained that «all the ministers will be there on Saturday, because it is a national and international issue. Minister Giorgetti will speak on the Italian and international economic scene on Saturday. For the first time in Italy, the leader of the party that had the greatest growth in the Portuguese elections, his friend André Ventura from Chega, will be present in Italy. I read reconstructions about the black international, but there will be 1,500 peaceful, calm, smiling, determined people.”
«Offended by Zaia’s absence? Do not mention it”
When asked if he was offended by Luca Zaia’s absence at the event, he replied: «But of course… I also heard from Zaia this week, between the problems of Pedemontana Veneta and the Olympics. The governor of Umbria, who goes to the vote in the autumn, instead has meetings with the associations in the territories. We have several tens of thousands of political and institutional representatives. We had to close registrations because there were no more people. Over 1,500 people don’t fit.”
The participation of European delegations was announced «including from Portugal, Austria, Flanders and France. European leaders will speak: Andre Ventura, Gerolf Annemans e Harald Vilimsky». Two absences are striking: there will be no exponents of Afd (Alternative für Deutschland), the German ultra-right which has 78 deputies in the Berlin Parliament. Nor will there be leading exponents of Rassemblement National, starting with its leader Marine Le Pen who in September 2023 participated in the traditional Northern League rally in Pontida. Not even the leader of the European elections in June and in pole position in the polls, Jordan Bardella, is leaving for Rome. “There will be a video” Lepenist sources said.
