"I hope no one vetoes because this is not the time for vetoes."
This was stated by the mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, speaking of the need to create a wide field for the center-left in view of the elections, in the light of the meeting he had yesterday in Rome with Luigi Di Maio and Enrico Letta.
"The only thing I asked Letta is to work right now to clear the vetoes," he added.
"Di Maio has expressed to Letta his willingness to be part of the center-left. If someone considers it negative to widen a field that is part of the disadvantaged, say so, but if you don't try to enlarge the field you lose", reiterates the mayor.
"When I hear from Pizzul that we should go to Lombardy with the 5 stars, my answer is 'not in my name' I'm not there" adds Sala commenting on the opening of the group leader of the Democratic Party in the Lombardy Region, Fabio Pizzul, to an alliance with the 5-star movement for regional in Lombardy.
"I say this in good faith and I was one of those who first said 'let's look at 5 stars, their electorate and their ideas' - he concluded - but after all that has happened and above all with the positioning they are having I do not believe".
