Matteo Salvini at the Lega party in Varese. "I wasn't there 40 years ago, I was born in 1973 and I got my first membership card in '90.
I thank the one who started it all. Without Umberto Bossi we wouldn't be here and millions of Italians Wouldn't be talking about freedom" "And I thank Maroni who took the baton and led the League in the most complicated months" added Salvini underlining that "I have been doing the best of my possibilities for 10 years, with soul, time and heart and also taking risks in private to carry forward our ideals" "I am a man of the people. I am not a politician, I am a father. I'm a grandfather. I have a son. I don't want to be a grandfather, I want to see him grow up. I want him to grow up to be the man he is supposed to be. I hope he will be a father one day," he said.
