When the people vote they are always
right, rightwing League leader , Deputy Premier and Transport
Minister Matteo Salvini said after a disappointing showing for
his anti-migrant party in Sunday's Sardinian elections and the
victory of centre-left governor candidate Alessandra Todde of
the leftist populist 5-Star Movement (M5S).
"After five consecutive victories (in other regional elections)
a defeat can be expected," said the League chief.
"When the people vote, they are always right.
"This does not change my commitment as a minister to the
Sardinians.
"I will, of course, continue to do everything that the
Sardinians expect and deserve.
"When you win you win all together, when you lose you lose all
together."
"The numbers say that the centre-right has increased its votes
compared to the (2022) general election, that the League and the
Sardinian Action Party have increased by three points, but the
M5S candidate has won.
"In a democracy it is fair".
