(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 17 - "Next week, when voting begins, the League as a responsible and governing force, now and in the next few years, will make a proposal that I think will be convincing for many if not for all".
Thus the leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, talking about the vote on the Quirinale with commentators outside the Senate and remembering to wait for Silvio Berlusconi to say by 24 if he has the votes to stand as a candidate.
