Lombardy President Attilio Fontana stated that any decision regarding a League party candidate for the presidency of the Veneto region must be directed to Party Secretary Matteo Salvini. “You have to ask Salvini, I don’t know, I’m convinced yes but you have to ask him, he is the one managing it,” Fontana remarked when questioned about the upcoming regional elections on the sidelines of the Rimini Meeting.
Adding that his knowledge was limited to press reports, Fontana also addressed his own political future. Regarding his succession, he affirmed his unwavering loyalty to the League, stating, “I have always in mind a party which is the League, there is no doubt about that.” He concluded that maintaining the status quo, with the League governing both Veneto and Lombardy, would be “the best solution.”
