ROME/CATANIA, Italy - Italians take their August beach holidays very seriously and politicians traditionally avoid disturbing them for fear of losing votes. But Matteo Salvini has little time for tradition and nowhere is taboo for his high-octane, non-stop campaigning.
Salvini had prepared the ground with a fiery speech the night before in Sabaudia, a seaside resort on the Mediterranean coast, south of Rome. Both were stops on a “beach tour” that he hopes will lead him to triumph at elections he would like to see in a couple of months. “There’s nothing to say that we cannot make parliamentarians work in the middle of August. Lawmakers should get off their bums and work,” he said.
Chiara Saraceno, a sociology professor at Turin University, says Salvini’s beach gambit is harvesting support. Nonetheless, a national election campaign in August is unprecedented in post-war Italy. Salvini’s move to sink the government was the main talking point among those on Catania beach in Sicily - and he had plenty of critics.
