Salvini: 'Either the EU changes or we do like the British'. Then brake

First the turning point: "If the EU rules don't change, let's do like the British". Then the braking on Italxit: "We work for the Conte-exit, this is the emergency for the country". All in a matter of hours. Matteo Salvini dusts off the old tones of the League on Europe, only to then head back to what was assured two days ago during a conference in the foreign press - "our priority is not to get out of anything but economic growth" - and to the moderate line of the number two Giancarlo Giorgetti, the party's new head of foreign affairs, who only yesterday in an interview reiterated: "We don't want to go out". Rewinding the tape of the day, Salvini had left in the morning, during a direct Facebook from Parco Sempione in Milan, with these words: "Either Europe changes or it no longer makes sense to exist. The British have shown that wanting is power. Either the rules of this Europe are changing inside, or as a fisherman I met in Bagnara, in Calabria, told me, guys then let's do the English ". And again: "Either the rules change or it is useless to be in a cage where they strangle you".

In the afternoon, meeting the citizens and journalists at the gazebo of the League in Piazza San Babila, the former interior minister then corrected the shot: "We work to change the rules from inside" but "if one says no and takes you with raspberries, then the people make their choices. " For Alessia Rotta del Pd, however, "Salvini's moderate turnaround lasted 48 hours". "Those who are born round cannot die square," insisted the parliamentarian, and "Salvini is anything but a moderate".
