Rightwing League leader Mate Salvini
mocked the "Schlein effect" referring to the centre-left
Democratic Party (PD)'s recently elected leftwing leader Elly
Schlein after the centre right did very well in local election
run-offs MOnday, winning five out of seven including for the
first time in over 30 years the Marche capital of Ancona and
several towns in the once red belt of Tuscany.
"Nothing to say: a very good Schlein Effect," said Salvini on
Twitter, commenting on the municipal elections.
"Extraordinary results for the League and the centre-right
throughout Italy, with historic victories in Ancona - the only
regional capital on the ballot, which has always been
administered by the left - and Brindisi, a triumph in Tuscany
with the re-conquest of Massa, Pisa and Siena, while waiting for
the results of the first round in Sicily in which we are very
confident.
