"After five victories there is a defeat, apart from Inter who always win." Thus the Minister of Infrastructure and leader of the League Matteo Salvini , responding to a question on the outcome of the regional elections in Sardinia , during the press point on the sidelines of the visit to the construction site of the HS/AC Brescia Est-Verona line in Desenzano del Garda.

«After five victories - he continued - there is a defeat, albeit a narrow one. It serves as a lesson . On the 10th we vote in Abruzzo, it's a totally different game: you win, you win well. Then Basilicata, Piedmont, Umbria." Again, the Northern League secretary underlined: «When you lose it is right to ask yourself why you lost and work better».

Salvini also explained that he does not feel ("No, absolutely") that his leadership within the League is being questioned.

And he did not fail to argue, without citing her, with the new governor Alessandra Todde , who during her first press conference after the electoral victory, declared: «Sardinia responded with pencils to truncheons », referring to the recent clashes between forces of the order and students in Pisa .

The images of the clashes in Pisa, commented Salvini, «certainly made an impression on me, but as far as I'm concerned you never question the police . A policeman, like a carabiniere, a worker, an engineer, a minister, like a bartender can make mistakes. It's okay, and we're working to make fewer and fewer mistakes. Questioning hundreds of thousands of women and men in uniform is dangerous for the stability of the Republic." And again, he concluded, "when people demonstrate asking for authorization and not insulting the police, not spitting on them, they don't risk anything."
