I’ll tell you about dances and pirouettes in the center right
What happens in the center right. The Scratches of Damato
If the dance to which we are used to thinking more and better, of theater or stage, weeps for the disappearance of its undisputed queen, Carla Fracci, the political one, much less noble and appreciated, even seems to be celebrating the birth of yet another formation, which has given itself as a name, not surprisingly, a synonym of the Forza Italia invented at the time and still chaired by Silvio Berlusconi. It is called, as in another stadium cry, Coraggio Italia and was able to form a group of 24 deputies, four more than the minimum required by the Montecitorio regulation, thanks to 11 coming precisely from Forza Italia. Where voices of protest, indeed of indignation, immediately raised for the betrayal, transformism and whatever else would represent the initiative taken, at least in alphabetical order, by the mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro and the governor of Liguria Giovanni Toti. They both enjoyed sympathy, trust and even dependence – in Toti's case – on Berlusconi. Towards which they still say they are "grateful" for the political role played for so long by creating, guiding and then participating in a center-right that many had hoped for and no one had been able to achieve in the so-called "First Republic", before he took the field and practically replaced the old government parties overwhelmed by the flood of Tangentopoli, or "Clean hands". This was the name of the historic judicial investigation that began in Milan on the illegal financing of politics and on the corruption that often – not always – accompanied it.
In spite of the protests and the indignation for dances performed without the grace, the style, the school of the disappeared queen of the stage, the new formation was not born by leaving the center-right but to remain there, hopefully – in the intentions of the promoters – with better results than those that Berlusconi could guarantee alone or as a protagonist, tired – to say the least – by many problems, unfortunately also of health, more than natural at the age of 84 at the end of September, and with all the unexpected events that the former prime minister has had to cope, including the most recent of the viral pandemic. The by now ex-loyal Michaela Biancofiore may not have been very happy, indeed not at all, saying that "he is no longer there", but certainly there is something in Forza Italia that "no longer exists" and pushes many parliamentarians to get out, however, after many voters have left or by voting for other parties of the same camp, or by crossing its borders or simply going to swell, or fatten, the party of abstention. There may have been some shortage of Berlusconi.
It is paradoxical that the difficulties of the center-right, to say the least, are also expressed with the ritual of incomplete, or postponed, or eternally interlocutory meetings on the subject, for example, of candidacies in the big cities where voting will take place in October this year, not of the next, explode despite the role of the center-right itself in the emergency majority formed around the government of Mario Draghi is so strong and evident that it has often made people lose their heads, and more, both at the Pd, first by Nicola Zingaretti and then by Enrico Letta , both at the 5 Star MoVement. Or what remains of it, of which the former premier Giuseppe Conte cannot really take or take the lead entrusted to him in words by the "founder, responsible, elevated" and so on Beppe Grillo, plagued by problems such as and perhaps even more of the much hated or "psycho-dwarf" Berlusconi.
