"The League was not born to have currents, and I say that I am always accused of being a contrary bastian. It has a unique granitity".
This was reiterated by the president of Veneto, Luca Zaia, in Verona.
"If we were a party that holds meetings in telephone booths - he added - I would understand. But we are a large party with 800 mayors and governors, we are still a governing party regardless of our position on the Government. It is right that there is a debate, then there must be a synthesis ".
At the federal board of the League "yesterday there was a nice meeting, - he continued - that lasted three hours, everyone had their say, no one was banned. Then our secretary, who was never questioned , made the synthesis ".
If Umberto Bossi was not summoned, "then it was not a Federal Council, at least as far as I know the statute of the League".
So Francesco Speroni
, former Minister of Reforms of the first Berlusconi government and historical figure of the Carroccio entered the controversy over the absence of the party founder at last night's meeting, which was expected to be attended by secretary Matteo Salvini, the three deputy secretaries, governors, group leaders of the Chamber and Senate, and of the regional commissioners. "Bossi is a member by right of the Federal Council, if he has not been video connected you should ask him why. There is no need to invite him, he is a member by right. I was a member of the Federal Council, I got the call and I went" he said Speroni, guest of Tagadà, on La7 ". If the call has not arrived" there must have been a misunderstanding - he smiled -. Usually they came by email, now maybe with whatsapp or other systems, I don't think they said 'send them to everyone except the president of the League '. Let's not forget that Bossi is the president of the League ". Those close to Bossi, in the newspaper Domani defined the decision not to invite him" a bad gesture, even if he, who is a gentleman, does not want to enter into the merits so as not to sow discord ".
