How and why Salvini pinches the magistrates
What did the leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, say about justice, magistrates, referendums, Giorgetti, green pass, Borghi and more
It could be called Papeete's revenge. With a Matteo Salvini to whom Silvio Berlusconi recognizes, in a live phone call with the Lega party in Milano Marittima, "a great leadership capacity, which was strengthened when he began to represent the entire center-right".
Certainly the harsh words with which, regarding the collection of signatures on the referendums for the reform of justice, Salvini responds to the criticisms of Pier Camillo Davigo are very reminiscent of those always pronounced by Cav.
Perhaps Salvini had never been so clear-cut before. The "Captain", interviewed by Bruno Vespa, after having said that the Cartabia reform is "a first step", for which he acknowledges the work done by his followers, Giancarlo Giorgetti and Giulia Bongiorno, with the minister and Mario Draghi, turns to the public: "Now you do the real reform, signing for the referendum (of the League and the Radicals, ed )". Then, the thrust that marks a qualitative leap in Salvini's liberal and guarantor battle: “The judges in the last thirty years have done even beyond what the Constitution provides that they can do. And the left, which has always systematically lost elections in the voting booth, has always pampered them in order to win ”.
Clear words that follow others pronounced somewhat surprisingly in recent days, such as the interview of 19 July last in Orvieto, to launch the collection of signatures in Umbria, in which the Northern League leader with the undersigned explicitly defended the figure of Bettino Craxi : “I respect him for what he had the courage to do”. A recognition that followed the solidarity already shown by Salvini to the Craxi family, struck by yet another legal matter. Stefania Craxi (FI senator) and Bobo Craxi, both met by Salvini, have already signed up for the referendum.
From justice to the battle to lower the tax burden with the flat tax ("First commitment of the center-right government, after the elections of 2022 or certainly of 2023", here we have a margin that will be subject to interpretation, even if it is said to be safe that the Five Stars in spite of everything will do everything to remain in government) the evening of Papeete gives a new centrality to Salvini. Starting with the one in the center-right, of which he defines his League as a “dynamic and driving force”. And speaking of vaccines, responding to Concita De Gregorio for "In Onda" dryly liquidates rumors and indiscretions that would see the minister Giancarlo Giorgetti even out, in the sense that one would no longer want to reapply: "Non-existent news, Giorgetti does not intend to resign at all, it's a c … ata ”(and laughs, at the umpteenth episode of what could now be defined as a soap opera in Northern League sauce that comes back every summer, ed ).
As for the position of Claudio Borghi, in the crosshairs of criticism for his participation in the demonstration in Rome against the green pass, Salvini defends "the freedom" of the former chairman of the Budget Committee of the House to go "where he believes".
A League is confirmed as a sort of "party-coalition", where the leader, according to a consolidated scheme, holds all the areas together. Single party of the center-right? Berlusconi relaunches it but Salvini reiterates that he prefers "collaboration", the alliance in a federation. As for the Draghi government, Salvini confirms the support of the League: "The government does not risk". The risk, as was the case with Justice, are the “Five Stars and a Giuseppe Conte who heads a part of them”. He jokes with the audience: "But if they left, we'd get over it."
The Papeete of two years ago is far away. The scenario has completely changed. Although, given that in politics there is always a thread that holds everything, if Salvini had not unplugged the Conte 1 government, today most likely he would not be able to re-launch the challenge as a protagonist for the next political elections. Since in politics, in the end, there is always a thread that holds everything …
