(by Massimiliano D'Elia) Forza Italia is courting the League with the intent of creating a government crisis and returning to the old alliance, FI, Lega and FdI. This time Salvini it is more explicit than usual and puts a "tomb" stone on the wishes of the foremen:
"I will never return with the old center, this must be clear we govern together in the Regions and Municipalities. But it ends there. In Sardinia it was a local vote that does not affect national choices at all. I don't feel stronger and Luigi and he mustn't feel weaker. It's okay, we'll move on. I have given my word and my word is worth five years and not five months».
The reply of the vice president of the Chamber Mara Carfagna it was not sweet at all: "How lucky Salvini, but what have you ever done Forza Italia? Someone of us, without want, stole Nutella from you?".
Mariastella Gelmini said: "We are not the ones who deliver a message to Salvini, but the voters were directly: this first government goes home, the better it is".
The governor of Liguria, John Toti it was softer: "We need to have the courage to change, get involved. I think that the center can return to say something to the country but it must do so by changing itself".
The deputy minister of infrastructures, the League Edward Rixi agrees with the leader Matteo Salvini: "The results agree with Salvini, I believe that today at the government level we can give answers that not always with the center we managed to give. At the local level we have the possibility of making a differentiated alliance".
The risk is now that there will be territorial repercussions on the net line drawn by the Lega leader. Not surprisingly yesterday in Lombardia la majority It went under in the Regional Council. The center-right was secretly beaten on a resolution concerning climate change. In total there would have been 12 francs shooters and the oppositions went to the attack on the holding of the majority.
Matteo Salvini can not pull the rope for a long time and draw from the two ovens. If on the one hand the firmness and the respect of the government contract without ifs and buts but allows him to show a virtue, "I gave my word and respect the contract", on the other we have to deal with reality. The Italians have shown that the vote is "liquid", very "liquid" and at the moment the M5S is the demonstration. Having lost over 10 percentage points in Sardinia is emblematic and must lead to more in-depth reflections. Governing, from time to time, requires important decisions, because at the base there is the good of the country. Foreign indicators do not foresee an exciting growth for Italy's future, on the contrary. The image we are giving is that of an eternal internal quarrel. We have been neglecting credible policies in foreign policy for years, a place where real matches are played and where often we are "not arrived".
The torments and internal reorganizations of the pentastellates risk bringing everything and everyone down. After the elections in Sardinia we can already see a PD excited and ready to "battle" for the next Europeans, a political force not to be underestimated because it has always been able to catalyze the moods of Italians in the worst moments of national politics.
