Local leaders and Lombard militants of the League on a war footing. “The reality of our days forces us to stop and reflect”, reads the open letter addressed “to the attention of the Federal League Secretariat for Salvini Premier National Secretariat” and to the Lombard and Bergamo leaders of the Carroccio that AdnKronos was able to view, and that is creating quite a few discussions among the former Padani. A long and articulated reflection of the base that takes note of the “reality of our days, after a national turning point in the movement” and also “of the latest electoral failures linked to the day of last June 12 (referendum and municipal)”.
Three pages that aim to collect signatures – dozens of those black and white masses already seem to be – with the specific aim of asking the top management to return to listening to the base, “sharing among us disappointments, bitterness and stomach ache – reads the dissidents’ text leaguers – we decided to put some observations in writing, so that those who occupy the right place can reflect on what the ‘base’ highlights and asks, so that defections and discontent diminish and the militants can meet again, as in the old days “.
The letter does not lack the reference to the old leader: “A lot of water has passed under the bridge since the voice of the great Bossi thundered in the ether, but also in our hearts, as a symbol of the North, of that living, productive part of the territory, capable, full of positive prospects for the future “, reads the opening words. “After many years, between ups and downs, however, we find ourselves very far from what our values were and the battles for which we all worked with energy and sacrifices”, is the bitter observation. And now there are many requests, first of all the focus is on local congresses: “We have been waiting for a long, too long time for the official election of the territorial reference figures. Enough commissioners, we ask that all the offices return to being elective”. “Enough with the decisions made from above – they ask from Bergamo – enough with last-minute orders, perhaps not shared and ‘delivered’ by message. The suffering of the members and section militants is evident, and the situation is exploding “.
“We want to return to having political representatives, chosen from the territory, expression of the territory, linked to the territory, who work for it even behind the scenes, who collaborate with the secretaries, who are interested in people’s problems, who meet with the mayors” , we still read, with an attack that seems directed at the Salvini secretariat and its nationalist turn.
“We are reaping defeats everywhere – write the Northern League militants -. Already next year we will be called to vote and the unpleasant drop in consensus we are witnessing hurts us, we do not expect to find ourselves without candidates and above all without voters”. “We are in a critical and difficult phase, it is clear to everyone, even to those who would like to deny it, but we must not hide behind deceptive messages on social networks that highlight false victories”, we read again. “Today incoherence dominates everything, politics is all flattened and aligned without pride, in order to govern – is the reflection made by the old Lumbards -. The militants no longer know what to answer to those who stop them to ask for explanations”.
The appeal addressed to the leaders of the party, which is significantly called a movement several times by the adherents of the message, is to go back to talking about “what is dear to us: Autonomy, autonomy, autonomy”, written three times and in capital letters “and then the fight against immigration, security for the territory and for our young people, the fight against drugs, let’s talk about work, let’s fight to remove the shameful citizenship income, let’s defend the issues of the family “.
