"The values of a certain left that was, that of Berlinguer, of the work, of the craftsmen, were collected by the League: if the Democratic Party closes Botteghe oscure and the League reopens I am happy, it is a good sign". So Matteo Salvini, speaking in La7, at the 'Aria che tira' of the next new League headquarters in Rome, in via delle Botteghe Oscure, in front of the former headquarters of the PCI.
Words, those of the leader of the League, which provoke the reaction of the Democratic Party, starting with the secretary, Nicola Zingaretti . "They tell me that Salvini has compared himself to Berlinguer. What a pity ... # Chiamil118", he writes on Facebook.
"I have never been a PCI militant, but to think that Salvini compares the League to Berlinguer's party makes me indignant," writes the president of the dem senators, Andrea Marcucci , on Twitter .
"It is the second time in a few months that Salvini talks about the PCI and Berlinguer. This time he even hypothesizes a handover to the League. Forget it. He does not know the values, he does not know the history and the meaning of Berlinguer's institutions if he dreams of it ", writes on Twitter the senator of the Democratic Party, Anna Rossomando .
Leu also attacks: "Matteo Salvini gives the heat to the head. Comparing himself to Berlinguer and joining his League, a xenophobic party full of ex-fascists and recycled to the PCI is simply ridiculous", says the national spokesman of the Italian Left, Nicola Fratoianni . "In addition to being offensive - continues the exponent of Leu - towards the history and memory of this country. Go back to Papeete to drink a moijto - Fratoianni concludes - and leave Berlinguer alone"
