Matteo Renzi: “This time we can win in Varese”

Matteo Renzi spurs from the stage of the Vela Cinema, the militants of the centre-left. He asks everyone to bring victory to David Galimberti, but with a certain realism: “From today we are mobilised for David,” he said, “we have to talk to colleagues at work, with friends and show them that you have courage, passion. Let’s face it, we will probably have to do even the ballots…. “. Some whistling in the hall and then a liberating laughter. “We want to win in the first round in Varese? It should be, but in the unfortunate event … everyone should feel committed to do their part. This time really in Varese we can do it. Viva Galimberti, viva the Democratic Party, viva Italy “.

It was the closing of a rousing rally with which Prime Minister Renzi, after talking in Turin for Piero Fassino, has sprinted to Varese for Galimberti. Outside the cinema in the rain the Lega and Fratelli d’Italia have presented a hot demonstration with banners and smoke bombs. In the packed halls of the Vela Cinema instead everyone was composed: applause and few rowdy supporters, in the style of Davide Galimberti.

The Lega has been a favorite target of the premier, but he was careful to not attack the voters of the carroccio: “They have been betrayed by expectations of change many years ago. They left thieving Rome, then the MPs thought it was better to stay there”. And still: “In Varese the Lega has a leader called Maroni. You call everyone like that here? The family of my mother has ties with Milan and there is a phrase that I learned. Ofeleé fa il to mesté, do your job Maroni, do one thing at a time if you want to do it well. MPs of Lega today they have forgotten but they too have ruled eh … “.

Matteo Renzi seemed at ease among the members of the Democratic Party and the Galimberti Committee. He also met the old stalwarts of his first campaign for the primaries, then led in the front row by Samuele Astuti today provincial secretary of Varese and Alessandro Alfieri today regional secretary and director of the turning point in the national campaign of David Galimberti.

The former mayor of Florence has obviously also defended his whole government work. He said that facing the tragedy of migrants “If there’s a child drowning I will save them“ causing a long and heartfelt applause from the audience. The referendum was net”: “It is the first time in history that the number of seats are reduced“. The vision is always positive at the beginning: “We are those who believe that the Italy of the future will be better than the Italy of the past. You have to do politics with courage and not with fear. ”

The evening was opened by the Regional Secretary of the Democratic Party Alessandro Alfieri” We don’t want to take Varese,” he said, “we want to put ourselves at the service of Varese.” Davide Galimberti, much applauded, reminded the audience that he wants to bring to the Town Hall the verb to do, that the Lega had sentenced Varese to 23 years of isolation, and that to do so many things it also needs a helping hand from the government, a hand that Renzi has promised during one of the steps of the rally. “My campaign has been an ongoing consultation with the citizens and the first thing I’ll do is cancel that lousy parking lot of the First Chapel, an environmental destruction”.
