League, meeting between Salvini and the governors of the North: truce in view of Pontida

The meeting did not serve to untie the knots. But it at least establishes a truce in view of the meeting in Pontida on 20 September. Which, as the leader of the League group in the Senate, Massimiliano Romeo, assures (in the balance after criticism of Salvini's national-sovereignist line) "is sacred so we will all be united, that's for sure". Matteo Salvini meets after lunch in Rome (in a break in the work of the two days of the Northern League dedicated to the proposals in view of the maneuver) the "branch" of the governors of the North (Attilio Fontana, Massimiliano Fedriga, Maurizio Fugatti and the former Luca Zaia - not the Venetian Alberto Stefani, considered close to the secretary) who for months have been pressing (even if only Fontana has so far exposed himself publicly) a collegial management of the party in crisis of consensus and a relaunch of the northern question.

A face to face in the leader's Roman home, away from prying eyes. The official press release speaks of a "climate of absolute collaboration" and an "opportunity to discuss the League's roadmap" in view of "the imminent electoral deadlines". By sharing the "will to start" the "definition of a programmatic manifesto, capable of gathering ideas, priorities and proposals from the League". With the Pontida appointment defined as "a fundamental moment to relaunch the political and governing action of the League". In reality, there is no shortage of moments of tension when face to face.
