On the story of the Northern League undersecretary Armando Siri, yesterday Giuseppe Conte expressed the future line of the Government.
"I will propose the removal of the undersecretary on the agenda of the next Council of Ministers. We must be credible, responsible: resignations are either given or not given, future resignations don't make much sense. All the more so as any spontaneous declarations by the interested party cannot reasonably mark a turning point with respect to the preliminary investigation phase". Crab on the affair he had said: «I declare myself innocent, I trust that my position can be filed quickly. Should this not happen, by 15 days, I will be the first to want to take a step back».
Prime Minister Conte underlines that only the evaluation of political opportunity is valid: "Siri has lent itself to collecting the requests of an entrepreneur for a law that would have favored only some companies retroactively».
Conte then underlines that the "Government of change"Cannot afford such a drift, then asks the League to"do not react in a corporate way»And to be inspired«from a more comprehensive assessment of higher interest». Then he turns to M5S urging them to «don't take advantage of it to sing victory».
In the League no one intends to leave to the M5S, again falling in the polls, the Siri case to shake during the electoral campaign.
Matteo Salvini is in a press conference with the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, when the news arrived from Rome that Giuseppe Conte would shortly ask for the resignation of Armando Siri. The Minister of the Interior knew nothing about it, he was not called on the phone by the Prime Minister to anticipate the decision to bring his proposal to revoke the post of the League's undersecretary to the Council of Ministers.
Salvini flaunts tranquility but thunders"But what comes to mind, do they want the government crisis in full electoral campaign? It is madness. Don't even want to wait for Siri to talk to the magistrates, to explain how things are? Let's deal with serious things, for example the flat tax to do immediately, everything else is bored. Because all this haste, the 5 Stars don't have it on the flat tax and instead have it with Siri. No more referrals».
Then continues Salvini: "If they want to provoke the government crisis, they are Luigi Di Maio and Giuseppe Conte to take this responsibility.
Now it is time to wait and see if the Northern League will be present at the next Council of Ministers, because, according to rumors, the idea of deserting the appointment is flashing.
