The League does not need licenses: it is a government force that represents the productive world
In the hours immediately following the announcement of the League's support for the nascent Draghi government, we read several comments and analyzes on the legitimacy that this choice would have guaranteed, as if the League needed to receive the blessing or legitimacy license from someone. But does it really need recognition and legitimation? And in whose eyes?
We probably forget that politics is done in the territories, between people and businesses, not only in the buildings or living rooms of some right-thinking people and, like it or not, the League, with its 25 percent of the votes, according to polls , is the first Italian party and a direct expression of that productive class which is the engine of the country. The so-called “Italy that produces” is with Salvini and with the League, perhaps we tend to forget this aspect, and that is why Salvini has chosen to support, perhaps even participate in the nascent Draghi Executive. The productive class is once again represented in the government of the country and this is also the great responsibility that Salvini takes on, who, with this choice, is able to demonstrate a great political-institutional maturity, pragmatism, and the awareness of representing that world of companies which are the real backbone of the country.
Many do not remember, or pretend not to remember it, but Salvini's League has long been a governing force, and perceived as such, not only because it has already governed the country, but also because it governs many territories with its own governors, regional councilors and mayors. It is useful to remind readers that the League, together with the entire center-right, governs 14 Regions out of 20, and has 201 regional councilors, starting from Friuli-Venezia-Giulia up to Sicily. Furthermore, it expresses many mayors throughout the country and in recent years it has also managed to conquer municipalities considered real "red strongholds", just think of Pisa or Siena, which have always been ruled by the left.
Taking all this into account, what legitimacy exactly would a party need which, besides being the first Italian political force, governs so many territories and represents that productive class which, as we have already seen, will be fundamental for the post-pandemic restart? Salvini is probably motivated by the awareness and sense of responsibility of representing a lot. It is also and above all for this reason that the leader of the League has decided to get back into the game, displacing many, especially on the left but also in his own field. Now the goal is that the League is fundamental in the equilibrium of the rising majority and that its demands and the demands of that world of business it represents are valid.
