League leader, Deputy Premier and
Transport Minister Matteo Salvini said Tuesday the rightwing
government is absolutely firm after a centre-right defeat in
Sardinian regional elections.
"The government is absolutely firm. I am happy with what we are
doing, what we are planning. After five consecutive defeats (in
regional elections) I am pleased to know that (centre-left
Democratic Party leader Elly) Schlein at least slept contentedly
last night', said Salvini.
"Regional elections are important for citizens," Salvini added,
"Sardinians have decided. Their vote or no vote, because almost
half of Sardinians did not vote, must be respected. The Abruzzo
people's vote I think will be profoundly different", he said
referring to March 10 elections in the Adriatic region..
