"If you have a good mayor or a good governor, why can't you choose him a third time after electing him twice? It's not easy to find a good mayor or governor. Unlike a parliamentary minister who has no term limits, a mayor or a governor you have to send them home by law. In a democracy, the citizens choose. If they find a good mayor and want to re-elect him 4 times, if the Venetians love Zaia or the Campania people love De Luca - even if I see this as more difficult - why can't they do it?".
This is how Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini responds, on aRTL 102.5, to a question about the third mandate in view of the regional elections.
Despite the different points of view within the majority, Salvini reassures that "this is not what the centre-right will argue or divide about, because they asked us to govern well and together for 5 years and this is what we will do".
