"So far I have been with Secretary Salvini, with the governors and no one has asked me the problem of getting a Lega membership card. I am a member of the European Parliament in the Lega group, I represent the Lega and I am here in Pontida with the Lega that wanted me here. So what added value would the membership card bring?"

These are the words of MEP Roberto Vannacci squeezed between journalists and militants of the League, on the Pontida lawn, pronounced while he was on a slightly raised cable rest also to be heard better. The activists welcomed him by shouting in chorus «A general, there is only one general, a general».

Then he added to reporters: "Until proven otherwise, these gentlemen are already demonstrating that they are already in the Lega community. The membership card issue is a formal act that has nothing to do with what we are doing together." And he cut short: "When there is a congress, we will see what to do."
