Salvini: Disappointment with Vannacci is 'human, not political'

Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has voiced his disappointment with Roberto Vannacci, characterizing the situation as a profound human letdown rather than a political one. Speaking at a Lega Giovani event in Milano Marittima, Salvini remarked that while he doesn't hold grudges, the disappointment was significant but temporary. He emphasized that the League had extended considerable trust to Vannacci, offering him a prominent platform and entrusting him with the party's legacy. Salvini expressed that Vannacci's subsequent actions, particularly after being given such an opportunity, were disheartening, especially coming from an individual in uniform who is expected to embody respect and teamwork. Despite this personal disappointment, Salvini indicated that the League is not anxious about future performance and will observe Vannacci's next steps with attention and respect, drawing a parallel to how he follows other political figures like Elly Schlein.
