The Democratic Party will be a bit grillino
Surprises and paradoxes between Pd and Lega. Paola Sacchi's note
If the Democratic Party veers more and more towards the radical left up to welcoming the former Hyena and former pentastellato No-Tav, Dino Giarrusso, who sides with Stefano Bonaccini, the former Renzian presented so far as the most "moderate" of the candidates, the Minister of Education, Northern League Giuseppe Valditara, in Milan – with Matteo Salvini and the entire Lega government team in support of Attilio Fontana – quotes Claudio Martelli's report "Merits and Needs" at the PSI di Bettino's programmatic conference in Rimini Craxi. Valditara, whose dicastery is called "Education and Merit", cites "Merits and Needs" as an example of reformism, with regard to his hypothesis of adjusting salaries to professionalism and the cost of living in general.
It is only a quotation but paradoxically while it is made by the League in a crowded Manzoni theater in Milan, in support of Fontana at the Regional elections in Lombardy, with Salvini, Valditara, the ministers of the Mef, of Regional Affairs and Autonomies, of Disability, Giancarlo Giorgetti , Roberto Calderoli and Alessandra Locatelli, also in Milan, the former grillino Giarrusso makes his debut at the Bonaccini Convention. Which makes Renziana Elena Bonetti say of Iv: "Nothing remains of the reformist soul".
An entry that provokes attacks by Matteo Renzi himself who recalls that Giarrusso was not only No-Tav but also No-JobsAct "which created a million jobs". "Amazed" Carlo Calenda and Pd divided with strong discontent of the mayors of Bergamo and Florence, Giorgio Gori and Dario Nardella.
Italian paradoxes, where the media narrative continues to divide the poles with the old classifications on a foreign basis, in a world that has also changed, between "sovereignists" or "pro-Putinists" in the center-right – which however has always voted unitedly in support of Ukraine , albeit with different approaches – and pro-Western progressives on the left. Where, however, in the Democratic Party, while maintaining the "Atlantic" choice of Enrico Letta, there have already been distinctions that have also led to the non-vote of the members of Article 1 which is among the new entries. Salvini, whose perplexities about Zelensky's message in Sanremo were immediately branded as "pro-Putinian", something for which Calenda should also be, in Milan at the time, while reiterating his doubts and saying that "the war cannot be won with a participation in Sanremo”, he cut the bull's head: “You will never be able to make me quarrel with Giorgia and Silvio”. More: “I think Giorgia is doing an exceptional job in Italy and around the world. I am proud that the League is a fundamental part of this government. We'll go forward five years. Berlusconi was, is and will be a great Italian”.
Salvini then defines the reconstructions on the government and the key issues, from Autonomy to Justice, as "surreal". He naturally relaunches his League, with the aim of recovering the lost consensus so as not to leave the national emergency government "only in the hands of the left".
But the League with Fontana also shows peace of mind due to the internal challenge with FdI: "We governed Lombardy as the leading political force in the League and we have always gotten along well, without having abusive attitudes".
A way to invite a unified FdI spirit in the probable case of confirmation of the clear affirmation of the Policies as the first party, but also to say already now that in any case there will be no fibrillation in the government.
It is physiological that there is competition within the coalition. And the center-right, given the advantage also in Lazio, moves with the same three-pronged scheme as the Policies. Calderoli says that "with opponents like this, you win even if Autonomy has not yet arrived" which, in any case, is in the pipeline for the council of ministers, will be very useful, he underlines, "precisely in the South" and "will go hand in hand pace with Presidentialism”.
But watch out for participation in the vote, because, warns Salvini, "the left hopes to take advantage of it in a low turnout". In the three-pronged scheme Silvio Berlusconi once again reclaims the "irreplaceable role of Forza Italia", indeed reiterates: "We are the most irreplaceable, without us, the liberal, Catholic, guarantor, pro-European and Atlanticist centre, there is no centre-right government" .
Divisions and sliding towards a radical left in the opposing camp. To the point that the reformist recipes of the modern and anti-communist left of Crax's memory are now being cited in the League. Paradoxes of a Democratic Party in pursuit of the Five Stars.
