Civic or political? Who will be the candidate for mayor of Milan according to La Russa

“The diatribe” on candidate for mayor of Milan “political or ‘civic’ is wrong: we must choose the person who has the best chance of winning. If he is ‘civic’ he must announce at least four politicians who are part of the team, and if he is political four ‘civics’ who are not part of the politicians…”. He said it Ignazio La Russaspeaking at the event ‘Present and future of Milan: rights, housing, safety, suburbs, young people, environment, innovation’.

The President of the Senate underlined that “Rozzano, Cinisello, Sesto, which were the ‘capitals’ of the Italian left, are now governed by us, also because the Milanese expelled from Milan went to these cities and overturned their geopolitical conformation. There is a continuous distancing of middle class from Milan, wanted by lords of the Navigli circle who are not all to be condemned but are indifferent to how those outside are doing”.

Center-right objectives

For La Russa “the first objective” of centre-right it must be “an alliance between all categories and peripheries and with the middle class”.

Hypotheses about the candidate

In short, “we must try to give Milan a decisive turning point and it is not up to me to give indications. I went to an event with Lupi some time ago and he was there and as an act of courtesy I said that he could be a good mayor, if I also say this about La Lumia I will ruin it”, he said referring to the president of the Milan Bar Association, Antonino La Lumia.

The difficulty of beating the coalition

“When you govern for ten years – he concluded – it is difficult to beat a coalition that brings everyone together, who after having argued for years will find an agreement”.
