Two Tuscan dates on the election
campaign tour of Northern League (LN) leader Matteo Salvini have
been cancelled "for the time being", party sources said
Thursday.
The controversial leader of the anti-immigration and
anti-euro party will not be holding a meeting in Pisa scheduled
for May 16 or a dinner with supporters in Torre del Lago on the
same day.
However, four other appointments in the region - where
Salvini is rallying support for economist Claudio Borghi, the
LN's candidate for regional governor in elections at the end of
the month - on the same day have been confirmed.
In a statement Borghi decried the atmosphere in Tuscany
that "prevents respectable and non-violent people from
approaching and listening to their political leaders as happens
in all normal democracies throughout the world".
In both Pisa and Torre del Lago Northern League opponents
had announced demonstrations against Salvini.
