What changes for the center-right after the Salvini-Berlusconi meeting
Paola Sacchi's note
Strengthening with respect to the Democratic Party and the Five Stars, by compacting, the role of center-right in the government of Mario Draghi, for whose results so far torn Lega and Forza Italia show satisfaction; the launch of a road map for the construction of the Federation also in view of the election of the Head of State on which they intend to be decisive and of the future arrangements for the 2023 Policies, for which there could be common lists; in the background the knot of the coalition leadership for which they say they are optimistic about the results in the local elections. And here there is a clear confirmation of unity with Giorgia Meloni, president of FDI, the right of opposition.
There are three unofficial elements that underlie the result of the meeting between Silvio Berlusconi and Matteo Salvini, in Sardinia, from Cav, at Villa Certosa. Summit, "in an atmosphere of great friendship", sealed last night by a joint official note from the two leaders.
Salvini, who had relaunched with determination the idea of a Federation of the center-right of government, which could have a greater impact on the choices of the Draghi government, can only be satisfied and Berlusconi also because, although a supporter of the single conservative party, the US Republican model, confirms in in any case his strong imprinting even in this phase of the center-right.
Salvini, the leader of the League, the first party according to the real numbers of the last elections after 2018, with the Federation he will strengthen his leadership of the center-right, in a government role that will one day make him more "reliable" in the eyes of those European chancelleries from the eternal watchful examination of him.
A challenge, that of the "captain", who also made a further liberal guarantee and liberal turning point with the referendums on justice, threatened by Meloni, the combative leader of FDI who is growing in the polls.
But from Villa Certosa, where even in recent days Berlusconi had met with "Giorgia" and Ignazio La Russa, last night a message of compactness and unity for the entire center-right came. Although the unknown about FDI's reaction remains.
Here are the most significant passages of the joint note by Berlusconi and Salvini, who met "in a climate of great friendship". “Silvio Berlusconi and Matteo Salvini shared great concern over the consequences of the crisis in Afghanistan. After the Taliban's seizure of power, the situation is deteriorating and this requires a double intervention. We need to secure those who have collaborated over the years to make Afghanistan a democratic country ”.
At the same time, they ask "that the international community intervene quickly to prevent the flight from the Taliban from turning into a disorderly exodus that would have dramatic consequences in terms of human lives and impact on the countries of arrival".
The need to "avert the risk of terrorist infiltration through illegal immigration and that this crisis be transformed into an opportunity for China to strengthen its hegemonic design" was stressed. Then, “satisfaction with the results obtained by the center-right government in the first months of the Draghi government”.
It is recalled that "on the initiative of the two parties, measures have been approved that will help Italy to emerge from the economic crisis and a NRP has been written that will make GDP grow thanks to huge investments". B.
Erlusconi and Salvini underline an important result obtained on a flag theme of the center-right: “There will be no new taxes, as requested by the left, but cuts to bureaucracy and the tax burden for families and businesses. The flat tax will be the first commitment of the next center-right government ”.
Finally, the launch of the Federation: "The calendar of initiatives to be taken between now and the next few months was shared to build a federation between the center-right political forces that support the government and make collaboration even more effective and incisive, especially at the parliamentary level" .
And on the Administrative: "Forza Italia and Lega are in the meantime committed to entrust the Region and the Municipalities that will go to the vote in October to the good governance of the center-right: there is a lot of optimism about the results". Inevitable "closed" for the first test bench to which the center-right, of government and opposition, will be united.
