(Massimiliano D'Elia) Meeting at the Four Seasons in Milan between Giancarlo #Giorgetti and the US Ambassador in Italy Lewis #Eisenberg. It was a meeting to celebrate American and Italian industries. Giorgetti and Eisenberg also talked about Matteo #Salvini's trip, scheduled for June 9 to the USA, where he should meet the American vice president Mike #Pence. A trip, Giorgetti explained to the diplomat, which could be postponed, or canceled in view of the post vote on 26 May. The number two of the League certainly took the opportunity to report the situation that could arise on May 27 to the American diplomat.
There has probably been talk of so many options. Options already revealed by the Quirinale: from a Conte bis - Government of the President with reshuffle to a possible technical government pending new elections in October, before the work of the budget law. A relationship with the American that could be read as a request to bring the probable breakdown of the unusual yellow-green government back to Washington. A government, underlined Giorgetti, too plastered by the fears and incompetence of the 5S.
It is no coincidence that yesterday in La Stampa Giorgetti spoke of a finished political love story. Salvini, according to Giorgetti, behaves with loyalty and he does so even today, in the face of the barrage of the 5 Stars, manifests a loyalty that goes against reasonableness.
Still on La Stampa Giorgetti anticipated what Salvini thinks and seems to do after May 26: if the provisions of the League do not go through, from the flat tax, to the bis security decree, to regional autonomy, to the unblocking of construction sites, it will close the curtain on the government.
Cabinet
Last night at XNUMX pm the second half of the Council of Ministers. Prime Minister Conte "quashed" the Security decree bis, saying that there were "some critical issues also shared by the Colle". Salvini: “I look forward to understanding what the critical issues are”. Di Maio proposed the Family decree. The result was a stalemate for both, all postponed after the vote in late May.
Sea Watch and magistrates in the square
After the Sea Watch case where the Agrigento prosecutor's office seized the ship and disembarked the migrants, Salvini began to have doubts about the loyalty of Luigi di Maio and the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.
The decision of the judiciary to authorize the landing of migrants in Italy was too casual not to have been "concocted and studied" before. It is thought of an "agreement" between the Five Stars and pieces of the judiciary to sabotage the entire League line on the fight against uncontrolled immigration.
Yesterday Salvini at "Quarta Repubblica" from Del Debbio: "If the Patronaggio prosecutor made them disembark to arrest the crew and seize the ship that will no longer be around in the Mediterranean, then that may be fine with me, but if the ship continues to wander around the Mediterranean then I would have different assessments " . In any case, Salvini commented: "The prosecutor took the responsibility of saying yes to the landing".
The magistrates feel attacked and the head of the Procuratorate of Turin Armando Spataro invited his colleagues to take to the streets against the Minister of the Interior: "Let us gather around them, if necessary we go down to the streets in their honor, we talk and inform".
Di Maio on the affair highlights the break in progress with the League: "If the Minister of the Interior learns that they are disembarking from a migrant ship while on a talk show, it is he who has to explain, not us. We are loyal and supporters of the policy we have carried out so far on migrants. I was also one of those who declared himself on the Diciotti question. I was archived and this shows that we had done well".
The secret polls
One thing is certain. The 27 in May after the counting and consolidation of the electoral data, it will necessarily have to act to remove Italy as soon as possible from the unpleasant "quagmire" that has been created. The curtain created in the last few months between the two government forces has not helped to increase the approval of the two majority parties. The "secret" polls commissioned by 5S and Lega, show that both are close to 5S the 20 per cent and Lega 30 per cent. Data that in fact does not change anything to justify a change of gear. Where, instead, the Lega were to reach the 32 per cent with an exploit by Fratelli d'Italia and the M5S under the 20 per cent, everything changes. Posterity will judge.
