(ANSA) - Rome, March 5 - Verona Mayor Flavio Tosi said
Thursday the jury is still out on whether "a very deep split"
within the Northern League party of which he is a dissident
member can be repaired.
"We tried to understand whether there is a margin to mend a
very deep fracture," he told RAI public radio after meeting with
Northern League leader Matteo Salvini.
Tosi has clashed with Salvini over the League's decision to
back Veneto Governor Luca Zaia to run again in upcoming regional
elections.
Tosi has accused Salvini of trying to destroy the autonomy
of the Veneto branch of the movement, the Liga Veneta, and
threatened to run as an independent in the Veneto regional
campaign.
