Vannacci said he would always prefer a woman without a skirt, whether the skirt was long or short. He described the electoral reform as seemingly designed to counter him, criticized its preference system, and said his party would not vote for it. He also said he supported measures concerning limits on the presence of foreign students and on the burqa or niqab. La Repubblica reported that the opposition called his remarks “delusions.”
