The leaders of the main parties got up early to cast their vote
The leader of the Italian League, Matteo Salvini, has encouraged the population to go to the polls this Sunday and has defended that his party aspires to be one of the parliamentary forces “on the podium” for the formation of a new Government.
«I am counting on the League to be the parliamentary force on the podium, first, second or third at most. Starting tomorrow, no more talk and we move from commitments to actions. We have clear ideas », he predicted after casting his vote at a polling station in Milan, according to the AndKronos news agency.
Salvini has recognized that they will be “complicated months” for Italy in the face of the energy and economic crisis that all of Europe is suffering, although he has specified that “the more people vote, the stronger” the country will be, while with these elections “politics will be legitimized ».
The leader of the Democratic Party (PD), Enrico Letta, has also exercised his constitutional right to vote at a polling station in Rome around nine in the morning, where he has shaken hands with some of his supporters, the newspaper ‘Corriere della Sera’.

“We have voted. Do it too, whatever your political views. Democracy feeds on the commitment of all. Long live the Republic, long live Italy. September 25 », Renzi said, publishing a photograph in which he appears depositing his vote.
