(ANSA) - Rome, November 15 - Foreign Minister and 5-Star
Movement (M5S) leader Luigi Di Maio on Friday criticised Veneto
Governor Luca Zaia for leaving his region to attend an election
rally in Bologna on Thursday amid severe flooding in Venice.
Zaia joined League leader Matteo Salvini at the rally to kick
off the campaign for regional elections in Emilia-Romagna on
January 26.
"It was not nice to see the Veneto governor go to an election
rally in Bologna last night and say 'I would have swum here if
necessary'," said Di Maio in a Facebook live broadcast.
He described Zaia's presence at the Bologna events as
"inopportune".
