Lega is far a far right populist Italian party.
Its leader (the guy in the billboard), Salvini, is, at this time, Italian minister of transportation. He is doing all sort of things to limit active and suistansble mobility, speed traps, 30 km/zones and pedonalizations.
Now, the billboard for the European election campaign.
It reads: "to protect the homes and cars of the Italians "
He is not even protecting the drivers, just the cars 😢
Another interesting billboard (also by Lega) used for some recent local election is the following:
Which reads “let’s save our cars from European eco-absurdities”
@Moonrise2473 @lgsp Too bad about the timing. If this had started right after an election the improvements would be done, and they could have locked in the fines by dropping other city taxes and making the city’s budget depend on the fines.
Exactly, the timing is completely wrong. But the mayor is like “but I promised this in 2019 and I show that I keep promises”.
In other cities before elections instead they’re fixing potholes to get votes from the drivers lol
