(ANSA) - Florence, May 14 - 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.
