I’ll tell you about the fibrillations in the center-right and in the 5 Star Movement

I'll tell you about the fibrillations in the center-right and in the 5 Star Movement

Facts and tensions in the center-right and in the 5 Star Movement. The Scratches of Damato

On Libero , one of the leading center-right newspapers, the one imagined, albeit as a federative one, between Silvio Berlusconi and Matteo Salvini, or vice versa, has even been defined as a "pact of steel".

Who first came up with the idea was controversial until the good Luca Ricolfi recovered and re-proposed in the Messaggero a comment by Silvio Berlusconi on the results of the 2019 European elections, when Salvini's Lega then ruled alone with the grillini, won 34 percent of the votes and his Forza Italia less than 9. "Forza Italia – Berlusconi then said to his followers who were still meeting at Palazzo Grazioli, in Rome – is destined to stay with the League or through a ' alliance or with a merger. I am in constant contact with Salvini ”.

Almost two years later Maurizio Belpietro, certified frequenter of the quasi-Royal House of Arcore and director of the Truth , always attributed to Berlusconi the project of a "Footboard 2": a sort of re-edition of the running board of the car on which the former president of the The Council mounted in 2007 in Piazza San Babila, in Milan, to envisage not the federation but the unification of Forza Italia and Gianfranco Fini's National Alliance. That first reacted by speaking of "comedians" but then discovered a double usefulness. One was that of no longer having to count oneself electorally, after a series of electoral retreats of the ex or post-missina right, the other was to be able to climb from within the same party, which was called the People of Freedom, the top betting on the wear and tear of the Knight, physical and judicial.

Now that Fini is no longer there politically, worn out more and before his former ally, the League is taking turns in the Predellino operation, completely extraneous to the 2007 adventure. The extraneousness this time is of the post-Finian right, against the which indeed, beyond the formal denials, the new project would have been born, at least looking at Salvini's convenience. Who, relying on Berlusconi's small electoral troops, thinks of avoiding the overtaking pursued by now with ruthless frankness by Giorgia Meloni , preparatory to a center-right with traction no longer League, as well as no longer forer.

Of steel, however, in this operation – I am sorry for those of Libero , who has just returned to write about "axis" in the front page headline – we see very little due to the difficulties immediately encountered by both protagonists. They continue, for heaven's sake, to telephone each other to encourage each other, but resistance, discontent and so on are growing in their respective parties. On the other hand, there was frankly little of steel even in the 1939 pact of the same name, which Mussolini's foreign minister, son-in-law Costanzo Ciano, went to sign in Berlin, however, writing in his diaries that he believed little, indeed not at all. . And it all ended in disaster for both sides, plus the Japanese one intervened at a later time.

If only for superstition, given the epilogue of the historically and sinisterly more known steel pact, certain reckless references should be spared the federative project of the center-right part currently in government. We should talk about it in the most modest and proper terms of a tactical operation in which perhaps it is important to understand not who could earn more but who could lose less, Giorgia Meloni being right when she remembers that the sum of two parties does not necessarily equal to that of their electorates.

It seems a paradox that the center-right suffers despite being systematically ahead in the polls on the center-left sketched out on the street between the Democratic Party and what remains or will remain of the 5 Star Movement, and in any case already in the government of most regions. But the paradox has now become systemic in Italian politics, common to both the center-right and the center-left. Where, for example, there is exultation for the coronation finally closer to Conte in the grillino movement freed of what had become a ballast, no longer the legendary Rousseau Association. But one does not understand, or one pretends not to understand that the desired Count, personally designated by Grillo one Sunday morning in Rome in front of the remains of the Imperial Forums, has already become another. He is no longer the Count of the improvised banquet in front of Palazzo Chigi to announce the surrender upon the arrival of Draghi and the generous willingness to give him his hand, according to Grillo's indications, but the Count already invested with another, different mission: that just confirmed in an interview with Corriere della Sera to protest against the latest government decisions and correct the course, according to the wish, we declare, formulated the day before by Fatto Quotidiano .

Correcting the course of the Draghi government, considered too right, simply means working for its fall, not surprisingly already attributed to Conte's calculations by some background. But to do this it was enough – another paradox – to leave the 5 Star Movement, or 5 Splinters, as Massimiliano Panarari called it in the Press , in the anarchy produced by the long regency of Vito Crimi, returning Conte to teaching and the legal profession, and leaving him to the nostalgic the memory of a good Prime Minister, ungenerously overthrown with the usual, alleged conspiracy. “ Conticidio ”, the mystery writer who suffered most from it called him.
