REGGIO EMILIO, Italy - Italy has had many colorful political symbols over the years, including oak trees, olive trees and daisies. Now, a new one has suddenly swum into view and is posing a problem for far-right leader Matteo Salvini.
The movement was born this month at a rally in Emilia-Romagna’s capital, Bologna. Santori and his friends hoped to draw 6,000 people, but more than double that showed up, packed like proverbial sardines in the main square. “There is so much hatred out there on social media. The League thrives off creating conflict and we have to stand up and shout ‘No’,” she said.Running along the fertile Po River Valley, Emilia-Romagna has been ruled by a succession of leftist parties, starting with the Communists, since World War Two.
Recent Italy-wide opinion polls put him over 30% against around 20% for the next largest party, the center-left Democratic Party which governs in Emilia-Romagna and also forged a coalition government at a national level in August with the 5-Star Movement. “The left has been dominant in this region for decades and has a long history of good governance. Defeat would be catastrophic for them and suggest Salvini is unstoppable.”
