Lombardy Governor Roberto Maroni
said Tuesday that there was a "loyalty" problem with Giorgia
Meloni, the leader of the small right-wing Brothers of Italy
(FdI) party, after she came out against autonomy referenda in
Lombardy and Veneto later this this month.
Maroni is a member of the right-wing, anti-migrant Northern
League (LN), which is expected to form an alliance with the FdI
and Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia (FI) at elections early
next year.
"There is a problem (with Meloni) because of negative,
mistaken and serious comments," Maroni said.
"Being as the referendum is important both on the political
level and on the institutional level, I reserve the right to
evaluate this statements on the level of the loyalty of a
government alliance.
"I cannot pretend nothing has happened".
