'Anything can happen in Veneto' - Tosi

Dissident League member meets with Salvini

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Milan, March 5 - Verona Mayor Flavio Tosi said "anything can happen in Veneto" after a meeting Thursday with Northern League leader Matteo Salvini.
    "We spoke. I am pissed off but clear-headed," Tosi said after lunch with Salvini.
    "Tonight I will discuss it with the Liga Veneta council, and we'll see".
    "This is an unexpected situation," he added.
    The Northern League this week ruled that anyone still belonging to Tosi's foundation next Monday will be automatically ejected from the party.
    The move is effectively an ultimatum against Tosi, who has clashed with Salvini over the League's decision to back Venetor 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 had threatened to run as an independent in the Veneto regional campaign.
