What happened?
Matteo Salvini – Leader of the far right League party, has been unsuccessful in overturning decades of leftwing rule in the northern region of Emilia Romagna in an election that brought comfort to the centre left.
As stated in the article Salvini had failed in his attempt to “shove the government out”.
“I suspect that the Sardines, more than anything else, took votes away from M5S,” said Piccoli. “But in some ways, Salvini is equally responsible for the success and failure of this campaign – maybe by being present everywhere and every day he pushed a lot of people who were otherwise on the fence to vote against him.”
Why should we care?
Salvini has been campaigning relentlessly in hopes of bringing down the national government and inspiring change
