All the news on regional elections and parliamentary committees
Government and opposition on regional and more. Paola Sacchi's note
While the first provision of the Meloni government with Nadef , preparatory to the budget law, is being passed by parliament, and the premier debuts at his first meeting with the trade unions, where the "method of confrontation" is inaugurated, starting with work and energy emergency Regional elections are at the center of the political debate.
Oppositions divided both in Lazio and in Lombardy, where, however, the center-right formalizes the candidacy of the current governor, the Northern League player Attilio Fontana, with the aim of reaffirming "the value of the united coalition" for "good governance". In Lombardy, split from the Moratti case, nominated by the third pole of Carlo Calenda and Matteo Renzi, the center-left still remains without a candidate. While in Lazio the commissioner of the Pd Alessio D'Amato, wanted by the third pole, seems to be in pole, but there is the strong unknown factor of the Five Stars and the radical left.
In Lombardy, on the other hand, the dances are guided by the formation of Calenda and Renzi, thorn in the side of the Democratic Party, from where only a few authoritative but isolated voices rise in favor of Moratti, such as that of Luigi Zanda. But on the former mayor of Milan there is no dry, as the coordinator of the Lombard Democratic Party, Vinicio Peluffo, immediately announced. The hypothesis of nominating the mayor of Milan Beppe Sala is difficult and it also seems that of the one who beat Moratti in the second term at Palazzo Marino, Giuliano Pisapia, the Democratic Party is also thinking of playing the card of Lorenzo Guerini, former defense minister, who however it seems more destined for Copasir.
The most popular hypothesis at the moment seems to be that of the mayor of Brescia Emilio Del Bono, supported by Sala. To the objections according to which Brescia is not Milan, it is replied that Brescia with Bergamo after Milan is one of the largest cities in Lombardy and significant for economic and productive activity. They are two cities where Moratti, as well as Milan, of course, could erode some consensus even in the center-right which, however, thanks to its compactness, has a very different situation than that of the Democratic Party.
Meanwhile, yesterday the election of the presidencies of the commissions in the Chamber, after the formation of the team of deputy ministers and undersecretaries, helped to consolidate the government majority. Seven presidents at Fratelli d'Italia, four at the Lega and three at Forza Italia. Silvio Berlusconi, who has returned to the Senate to vote for Nadef, is satisfied, together with the group leaders of the Senate and the Chamber, Licia Ronzulli and Alessandro Cattaneo.
In Montecitorio, in fact, FI manages to compensate for some positions, which had not found a place in the team of undersecretaries, leading significant commissions. Giuseppe Mangialavori, a name advocated by Ronzulli and Cattaneo, is elected to lead the Budget Commission of Montecitorio. FI also obtained the presidency of Constitutional Affairs with Nazario Pagano from Abruzzo, and Social Affairs with Ugo Cappellacci, the former Sardinian governor, very close to the Cav, who was also out of the game for the undersecretaries.
The League obtains four presidencies in key commissions on the economic level: Productive Activities with Alberto Gusmeroli, Agriculture with Mirco Carloni, Defense and EU Policies with Alessandro Giglio Vigna and Nino Minardo. Among the seven presidencies of the Brothers of Italy, the return to the field of Giulio Tremonti at the helm of Foreign Affairs.
Meanwhile, the minister and vice-premier Matteo Salvini accelerates on the road map for Infrastructures and the release of public works, from the Bridge over the Strait, with all the road works in Calabria, themes at the center of the permanent table with the governors of Calabria and Sicily, the blues Roberto Occhiuto and Renato Schifani, in the North with the completion of central works such as the Venetian Pedemontana.
