Salvini and Vannacci are not as bad as some people make them out to be, according to Matteo Salvini, the Northern League secretary. He emphasizes values such as identity, work, and defense of borders. The two were present at a public meeting for the presentation of the book “Controvento, the Italy that does not give up,” along with other Northern League representatives.
Salvini believes that strong identity, homeland, borders, security, and national sovereignty are essential for Italy’s future. Vannacci agrees with this sentiment and believes that signs of Italian identity like the crucifix have been diluted over time. Both politicians stress that there is no conflict between national and European sovereignty.
The book is named ‘Controvento’ because Salvini believes in speaking his mind without seeking universal approval. He emphasizes that he stands against censorship, hypocrisy, and gagging. Salvini and Vannacci were described by Salvini as a “Luciferian couple for the left.” Both politicians stress the importance of national values and identity in a changing Europe.
