The result in Sardinia is a "personal defeat of Giorgia Meloni" , who here "showed her face, Cagliari and Sardinia are still full of blow-ups of proud and strong Meloni".
Thus Giuseppe Conte attacks the Prime Minister in the aftermath of Alessandra Todde's victory in the Sardinian regional elections.
«Truzzu – continues the five-star leader – by taking on all the responsibilities, was very generous towards Giorgia Meloni, because it was she who chose him. It's time that you also put your face into this defeat because I believe you handled this matter with arrogance ."
Again: «This is the new wind from Sardinia that is blowing towards the continent. It means that if we manage to build a serious and credible project we can win and be competitive without electoral signs."
Yesterday's result, concludes Conte, « is a wake-up call to the government . I think citizens have become a little tired of easy electoral campaign promises that are put aside when they go to govern. I saw the images of Meloni when she arrived and went on the stage, absolutely prestigious, she didn't stop for a minute to talk to the Sardinian citizens and left again ."
Elly Schlein takes a stand against the national exponents of the centre-right: « They were sure of winning. They came here to Cagliari with great fanfare, with the prime minister and vice prime minister. And Sardinia responded. Truzzu lost, Giorgia Meloni lost who forced it, and Matteo Salvini also lost.
“The wind is changing,” the Democratic secretary writes on Facebook. «It is the redemption of a proud community that has experienced first-hand the inadequacy of the right for 5 years , it is a victory for Alessandra Todde who proved to be the right person. She will be a great president, she will be able to restore confidence to the Sardinians and hope to this wonderful land."
A result, highlights Schlein, which demonstrates that "the alternative exists", that "the direction taken is the right one and that being stubbornly united bears fruit" , that "the right can be beaten".
