Salvini-Volpi bomb on the Copasir
The League's president of Copasir, Volpi, resigns and Salvini asks for the cancellation of the entire Control Committee of the Services, without assigning only the presidency to the Brothers of Italy. M5s and Pd displaced by the League's move: according to the law, only half of the members belong to the majority. All the details
"If the Copasir question took so long to resolve it is because the presidents of the chambers have not assumed their responsibilities."
It is with a torpedo addressed to the presidents of the Chamber and Senate, Roberto Fico and Elisabetta Alberti Casellati, that the president of Fratelli d'Italia, Giorgia Meloni, commented on the latest news to Copasir, the Control Committee of the Secret Services.
Today, in fact, the president of Copasir, the Northern League player Raffaele Volpi, resigned with the other member of the Carroccio, also asking for the definitive cancellation of the Committee for the security of the Republic: therefore the current composition – according to the vision of the Lega di Matteo Salvini – must be overcome with a new Committee which, according to the law, must see not only the opposition presidency (ie Brothers of Italy) but also half of the members must be an expression of Meloni's party. A torpedo counter of the Carroccio that is making the parliamentary groups discuss.
Here are all the latest news after the appeal of jurists, constitutionalists and political scientists – including presidents emeritus of the Constitutional Court as well as former presidents of the Chamber – who have supported the anomaly to date of a Copasir chaired by an exponent of the majority of government.
WHAT THE LEGHISTS VOLPI AND ARRIGONI OF COPASIR HAVE DECIDED
This morning the members of the league in the Parliamentary Committee for the Security of the Republic, Senator Paolo Arrigoni and the Honorable Raffaele Volpi have resigned as members of the Committee. Raffaele Volpi has also resigned as president of Copasir. The League – reads a note – "now demands the immediate, full application of law 124 of 2007 which provides for the assignment to the opposition of 5 (five) members out of 10 (ten) from which to choose any president. The members of the League in Copasir will not participate in the vote of any president until the complete application of the law and immediate resignations of all the other members of the committee are expected in order to allow the presidents of the senate and chamber to make the consequent assessments, reconfirming that the presidents they had declared both the composition of the committee and its presidency completely legitimate ”.
THE STYLE OF THE LEAGUE TO THE 5-STAR HEADLESS MOVEMENT
“The presidents – continues the note – recalling the only precedent concerning the Monti government and the D'Alema presidency, in which the Copasir presidency of the League was denied despite being the only opposition force. The League does not believe that it has to undermine institutional bodies for political issues or even more so for internal disputes between 'non-parties' of which it is not even clear who is the political leader. The members of the League are also certain that the Committee with the current presidency has done an excellent job at the service of the country, a fact that is recognized at all institutional levels ".
THE DEFENSE OF VOLPI DEL CARROCCIO
“In the certainty of this fact and of the contribution made to Italy in one of the most difficult years of its history, the doubt even arises that the presidency of Raffaele Volpi has annoyed and disturbed someone. We therefore await immediate political decisions by those who in recent months have tried to de-legitimize the precious work of Copasir ”.
THE BACK STEP OF PD AND M5S FROM COPASIR
The step back came after the pressing of Pd and M5S who had abandoned the works (but without officially resigning). “In full compliance with the institutional prerogatives, we voted on the resolution adopted by the Bureau regarding the activation of the provisions of art. 34 of law 124/2007. At the same time, in order to put the Committee out of political repercussions and restore the provisions of paragraph 3 of article 30, having also acquired the sharing of the Leu parliamentary group on the merits, we have abandoned the work of Copasir in order to contribute to the solution of the ownership of the Presidency of the same committee "had declared the members of the Copasir Dieni, Cattoi, Castiello of the M5s, and Borghi of the Pd.
THE DOUBT OF THE LANNUTTI GRILLINO
“Copasir, after 3 months of stalemate Volpi leaves the presidency. But Salvini has all the leaguers resigned and asks for zeroing. Is the investigation on Mancini and Renzi postponed? ", Tweeted today the senator M5s, Elio Lannutti
THE TWEET OF COUNT
"We can no longer procrastinate: the Copasir presidency belongs to the opposition" tweeted the former premier Giuseppe Conte yesterday. “This is how the 2007 law provides to guarantee the rights of the minority and the balance of powers and control functions. The M5S will be the guarantor of respect for constitutional legality ”.
THE POSITIONS OF URSO AND VITO
All this after in recent days the member of Forza Italia, Elio Vito, and that of the Brothers of Italy, Adolfo Urso, former vice-president of the Committee, no longer participated in the work of Copasir after the decision without decision of Fico and Casellati .
“With the resignation of President Volpi, whom I thank for his usual institutional sensitivity, the reasons that led me, a few weeks ago, to resign from Copasir, no longer exist. Also to help calm the political climate around a parliamentary body that performs particularly delicate functions, I have taken steps to withdraw my resignation. With the election, as required by law, as President of an opposition member, it will now be possible to resume our business in the climate of fairness and responsibility that has characterized it in recent years ". Thus in a note Elio Vito, deputy of Forza Italia.
FAZZONE'S CRITICISM (FORZA ITALIA)
A criticism of the presidents of the Chamber and Senate also came from another forceist component: “I believe that the Copasir situation has been handled very badly, it is not the members who have to resign but it is the presidents of the chambers who must ensure that this happens. However, if my party tells me to resign, I will, but this is not my conviction ”. Thus Claudio fazzone, member of Forza Italia's Copasir, questioned by LaPresse on the backward step of president Raffaele Volpi and the two members of the League. “If there is a vulnerability, there are also people who have a role to intervene and are the presidents of the chambers. At the same time, if the law is not fully interpretable, a quick bill was made to approve it in Parliament in 15 days. Instead we have to get to these dramas every time ”.
