Giorgia Meloni reassures the markets on public accounts and European pacts
Words and controversies between center-right, center-left and third pole. Paola Sacchi's note
Alarmism projected on the international scene against the center-right. A few hours after Mario Draghi's speech , aimed at spreading confidence in the future (“Italy will do it again this time, with any government”), the center-left plunges back into the usual electoral campaign of demonization of the enemy. This time amplifying it, also using an article in the Financial Times on what is called "the largest speculative campaign" since 2008 on our public debt.
FT invites our next government to also be able to face the serious energy crisis. The "third pole", which now appears increasingly crushed by the Democratic Party, tries to get out of the corner by launching stronger proposals. Carlo Calenda evokes the danger of the "perfect storm" and even calls for the suspension of the electoral campaign, inviting everyone to "sit around a table" to face the serious energy emergency. He does so, somewhat contradictorily after having addressed Matteo Salvini in the morning with a tweet that begins like this: “Listen Papeete….”. And down heavy attacks on the Northern League leader for his proposals. Salvini: "I do not reply to the insults, but Calenda knows that he has already lost".
Giorgia Meloni in an interview with Reuters replies: “They are not a danger for democracy, for Italian and European stability. Enough of this nonsense. We will keep public accounts under protection ”, starting from“ the next budget law ”. That "we intend to do within the required parameters", underlines the president of FdI.
The leader of the Democratic Party, who now seems increasingly striving to establish himself as the dominus of the second pole, in the event of a defeat photographed by the polls, attacks: “It is the same right that led us to bankruptcy in 2011. The same people. Meloni was also minister of the Berlusconi government ”. The dem secretary launches a "red-black" campaign dating back to the twentieth century, with posters inviting people to stay either here or there, so either "with Putin" "or" with Europe ", with no-vax or pro vax and so on, splitting the political scenario in two, with a Manichean cut. Letta also relaunches the proposals to deal with the energy crisis. But Salvini points the index on the delay with which in his opinion the Democratic Party "intervened, preferring topics such as cannabis".
The Northern League secretary proposes that, in the meantime, the government in office put Italian companies around a table to ask them to give up part of the profits, in order to lower their bills.
Silvio Berlusconi focuses on the issues that most differentiate the center-right from the adversaries: proposals against fiscal and bureaucratic oppression, for the energy crisis, also with the launch of plans for nuclear power, for the separation of careers in justice, for the safety. "A priority issue for FdI", remembers Meloni, who is defended by the Cav from the criticisms of the Democratic Party: "They only talked about the Piacenza video and not about the real issue: safety in the cities". Something for which Salvini proposes the appropriate decrees.
