Motion against Salvini? Opposition own goal
Comments and reactions after the Chamber's no on the motion of no confidence in Salvini. Paola Sacchi 's note
That the motion would fail was already evident from the initial numbers. But since politics is not made up of mathematics alone, the first to give the idea of the dry defeat that the oppositions (all of them, including Matteo Renzi's Iv) have imposed on themselves, with a more than eloquent plastic image of their searing own goal, is Fabio Rampelli, vice president of the Chamber, co-founder of FdI.
Rampelli defines that motion of no confidence in Matteo Salvini, flatly rejected with 211 votes against and 129 votes in favour, complete with applause from the majority benches (addressed to the deputy prime minister, owner of the MIT, where he remained, and leader of the League) "an assist to the government." Rampelli sarcastically declares: “We thank the opposition for having strengthened the government and the majority that supports it with this vote. Many in Italy had doubts that they were not equipped for a clash with the centre-right, to remove any doubt they gave us the first assist and tomorrow (today a motion of no confidence in the Minister of Tourism Daniela Santanchè ed. ) the rest will arrive".
Salvini rejoices on social media, having already been defended in the Chamber, particularly forcefully by Augusta Montaruli, a member of FdI who is very close to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Salvini is lapidary: "Yet another fool of the left, let's get on with our work."
The dreams of those who perhaps had hoped certainly not to win, but at least to begin to open some small cracks in the numbers, perhaps to record some glaring absences, die at dawn, after a left-wing narrative of media lynching towards Salvini, described as "pro-Russian", although his party has always voted in favor of military support for Kiev. And in recent days a blunt note had arrived from the League explaining that the agreement with United Russia was not only never operational but the League no longer has anything to do with the Putin who started the war, recalling that with Before Putin, all Western and Italian governments – from those of Enrico Letta to those of Matteo Renzi and Paolo Gentiloni – had had to deal politically.
But Renzi, who instead for a guaranteeism on alternate plates and, in any case, always not such for Salvini (thumbs down on Open Arms) will today vote no to the no-confidence in Santanchè, has chosen the path this time of following Action by Carlo Calenda who was the first signatory she was erected as the holder of a sort of chair with the issuing of a democracy license to the other parties and in particular to the League. Last night ended sadly for all the oppositions who had hoped for some creaking in the majority after Salvini opened an electoral campaign for the European elections where he is distinguishing himself from Meloni and Forza Italia with the alliance with all the right-wing parties of Id Salvini had been described as the internal enemy of "Giorgia", the man who would sooner or later open the crisis.
But dreams on the left die at dawn. The own goals remain, complete with strong internal grumbling within the Dems in the so-called reformist area about the disgrace of an opposition front that crashed into the no-confidence strategy.
