Melons between indictments and pampering
Reactions and comments, not only in Parliament, after the Senate vote of confidence in the Meloni government. The Scratches of Damato
The confidence obtained by the government of Giorgia Meloni in the Senate with 115 yes, 79 no and 5 abstentions is politically worth double that of the day before in Montecitorio. At Palazzo Madama reconciliation with Silvio Berlusconi was displayed, whose declaration of vote motivated by the claim of the paternity of the center-right, although in the meantime it has become right-center, was welcomed with relief by the whole applauding government. "The go-ahead for Berlusconi", emphasized the family newspaper . And among the oppositions, Matteo Renzi, who called him Il Foglio , stood out for openness or distinction from the other components of the line-up of the no. It is no coincidence that Giorgia Meloni followed with evident signs of satisfaction, especially in the passages in which the former Prime Minister defended her from the attacks of the Democratic Party for "the merit" with which she completed the name of the Ministry of Public Instruction.
Just today in the Corriere della Sera the editorialist and university professor Ernesto Galli della Loggia writes: "Those who began to tear their clothes only to hear that with the Meloni government the diction of the education ministry would have seen the addition of merit, seeing in this a sneaky attack on the “school of equality”, and therefore directly on democracy, shows that it knows very little about school, equality and democracy. Surely, to begin with, he shows little knowledge of our Constitution which in article 34, speaking of education, explicitly mentions merit ”. Renzi was therefore not wrong in the Senate to ask his former Democratic Party why he decided to give "credit to the right too".
But the Democratic Party for a few more months of Enrico Letta, who resigned in view of the congress, is very conditioned by the competition on the left that the 5 Star Movement led by Giuseppe Conte with the now unconditional support of Beppe Grillo. Who specifically came to Rome from his Genoa to thank the former Prime Minister for having reduced the votes of 2018 by only half. With the usual swaggering irony to journalists who asked him questions, the comedian said that he does not give free interviews.
Even Conte in the Chamber in his debut speech as a deputy had ridden the controversy against "merit". In the Senate, however, the grillino movement wanted the debut as a parliamentary of the former attorney general of Palermo Roberto Scarpinato. Of whose declaration of vote against the government, transformed into a process of a subversive right also in the presidentialism proposal, Mattia Feltri under the title " Requisitoria " brilliantly wrote and concluded in the Press : "I soon lost the thread of the speech, but I am almost certain that in the end Scarpinato asked for 15 years of imprisonment for Giorgia Meloni ”. Who, for his part, in the reply accused the former high magistrate for the political background, to say the least, of many failed judicial initiatives and the tolerance, to say the least, towards the misdirection of the investigations into the massacre in which he lost his life in Palermo Paolo Borsellino in 1992, shortly after the other massacre that cost the lives of Giovanni Falcone and his wife.
But the controversy that most marked the debate in the Senate for trust was that on the League's proposal, accepted by Meloni, to raise the cash ceiling in spending: if not exactly to the ten thousand euros requested by Salvini to three thousand, according to some advances . It would be a pleasure. according to the accusations in particular of the grillini, criminals and tax evaders. “Thus ends the continuity with Draghi”, poisonously titled Repubblica . Instead, Sergio Stajno put it a bit on the laughters, so to speak, in the press , assuming in his cartoon that inflation could make the cost of "a coffee" reach ten thousand euros.
