All the turmoil in the center right
What happens between Salvini, Meloni and Berlusconi. Paola Sacchi's note
Matteo Salvini takes on the role of "peacemaker" and proposes, "after the days of anger", a first summit to the allies after the split of the center-right. An attempt to break the ice, but to be carried out not before the government has passed the decree against the expensive bills.
The energy emergency first of all, but since "divided we don't go anywhere", meanwhile, makes a move because the center-right, for which it proposes "a great federation with all the political subjects (including minor centrist formations ed)" , gets back around a table.
Interviewed in "Porta a Porta" by Bruno Vespa, the leader of the League launches his proposal on a day that has seen further fibrillation in the coalition on the case of the next regional in Sicily, where there is a clash between Forza Italia and the Brothers of Italy , which squares the re -nomination of Nello Musumeci.
"I work to unite, not divide, I will call everyone for a table on the values that unite us, from the battle for tax reduction to that on justice, for controlled immigration, for the defense of the family, then who will be the prime minister is the least of my worries. We do not like in France where there are three center-right candidates. This clearly benefits Macron ”, thus replies Salvini, connected from home after the positivity to Covid (“ I'll take a swab on Sunday, I plan to come back soon ”) to a question from Augusto Minzolini.
The editor of the newspaper had indicated internal competition as one of the main evils of the center-right. Competition triggered by the rule, given by the coalition, on the basis of which the leader of the party with the most consensus becomes the prime minister. Salvini says he spent the day in the meantime "tying the threads from Verona to Palermo". Administrative and regional in Sicily are, in fact, the first test of a center-right that came out torn apart by the Quirinale elections. And which intends to continue to be an alternative to the left: "I refuse to go back to Renzi and Mastella who have nothing to do with us", reiterates the leader of the League.
Berlusconi, president of FI and founder of the same coalition, had already made it clear that "the moderate center strongly anchored to the center-right" is an "alternative to the left". “No-mess” agreements were forcefully re-proposed by the president of FdI Giorgia Meloni. And yesterday the mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro, co-founder with Giovanni Toti of “Coraggio Italia”, held back on the hypothesis of an agreement with Matteo Renzi: “We remain within the center-right,” he told the AdnKronos agency.
At the basis of the ongoing debate there is the belief that in the end, despite the proportionalist pressures coming from sectors of the Democratic Party and from the neo-center, the current electoral law that favors aggregations will probably remain.
Meanwhile, Meloni invites the allies to support the battle for presidentialism, the reform for which FdI launches an online signature collection. Salvini agrees but at the same time asks for support on the referendum for justice.
Contents but above all the rules of the new being together, starting with those for leadership, are now at the center of the new center- right pact. If he wants to remain a coalition.
