Kisses and hugs between Matteo Salvini and Giorgia Meloni, on the last day of the election campaign before the vote also in five important Italian cities (Rome, Milan, Turin, Bologna and Naples).

The two center-right leaders waved their arms in favor of journalists and cameras, a way to try to put yesterday's bad episode in the drawer: in Milan the secretary of the Carroccio left the event in support of the center-right candidate Luca Bernardo irritated and without meet Giorgia Meloni, victim of a delay on the plane that was supposed to take her to Lombardy.

Today at a press conference for Enrico Michetti in the capital, an attempt is being made to relaunch the idea of a united center-right.

"There is political affection, we are destined to govern together", says the Northern League secretary. On yesterday's episode “I couldn't wait for Meloni. I had already delayed the train and out of respect for the citizens who were waiting for me in Lazio I could not rip them off: I was not disappointed. If the trains leave and the planes are delayed, there is nothing I can do about it. I let the journalists talk about a parallel reality, I deal with Italy ".

For Meloni "we are not together out of interest, not like the left which occupies the seats only to prevent the center right from going to the government". On the elections in Rome "if Michetti is a speck, how much are those 840 left-wing mayors who asked for their advice? There are interested polls, then the left has exploited alleged divisions of ours, but we are compact, we have a common vision ".

Yesterday the two also had to face the grain of Silvio Berlusconi's interview published in "La Stampa": "Listen, let's be honest - the words attributed to Cav -. But if Draghi goes to be president of the Republic, then to those who give the task of establishing the new government? To Salvini? To Meloni? Come on, let's not joke ". Interview (badly) denied.
