(by Massimiliano D'Elia) Isolation tests for Salvini? The clues are there and day by day they come out more and more. Giorgetti talking with a friend of his from the party, he pointed out that one does not govern only with popular consent: "The League was in government with 11 percent ", clear the dig to the leader Salvini which today can boast the merit of having brought the League to over 34 percent a year ago in the European elections ... today the League has lost about 10 percentage points, slipping to a resounding 24 percent, not exactly reassuring because the eternal Pd it has recovered greatly, exceeding 20 percent approval. Another thorny chapter is the center-right coalition which, on the one hand, seems cohesive in opposing a non-dialogue majority on the other - Forza Italia in particular - winks at the Democratic Party and part of the Star Movement. Movement that reacted to the news of an approach of Forza Italia in an uneven manner. Di Battista among all: "Let's keep the manure away ”.

The President's appeal Mattarella to greater unity was taken literally, so much so that Forza Italia has always been in favor of choices shared with the executive, now it has passed from words to deeds with its most "powerful" and charismatic man, Gianni Letta, considered by many to be the true mind of the party, the true general who, between strategy and tactics, has always managed to keep the party founded by Silvio Berlusconi even in the darkest periods.

Today the party's path has reached a crossroads. Remain anchored to a Salvinian-inspired center-right or constitute the hard core of a new center that is missing today on the Italian political scene. A new center that could really catalyze most of the Christian Democrat centrists scattered between the Movement, the Democratic Party, Italia Viva and why not even among the Northern League themselves. In unsuspecting times Giorgetti himself hoped for a change of pace for the League towards more moderate positions. What has Forza Italia got to lose? Indeed, nothing could come out of it reassured in the consensus and be able to aspire to the Quirinale after Mattarella. It is not yet clear with whom, Berlusconi or Letta. Many think that Gianni Letta could be the next candidate for the Quirinale, a name they like, a personality that everyone agrees in Italy and abroad.

Gianni Letta in recent days has therefore been pushing Berlusconi to comply with the proportional in order to place Forza Italia at the center of the political dispute, thus blowing up the prospects of government for the Salvini-Meloni duo. Institutional meetings have also intensified. Letta regularly meets or hears Conte, Zingaretti and Di Maio by telephone, not to mention the confidential talks with Il Colle. The newspapers report that Letta also discusses the future leaders of the weapon with the Minister of Defense and leaves his indications on the appointments of the leaders of our 007s.

Corsera reports that many believe Letta the director of certain parliamentary maneuvers for the birth of groups of "responsible". If everything should go as the premises tell, the majority could give Forza Italia a position as speaker of the next financial law. At the heart of this new force of Forza Italia the amendment on Mediaset, on this amendment the future of the Italian political center will be decided. An amendment that smacks of mockery for Salvini who reads it as proven proof of the ongoing betrayal. Behind that norm Salvini has revised the silhouette  di Read. "But they didn't do it for us", Berlusconi tried to justify himself.

Salvini has always been against the amendment. Vitriolic Berlusconi replied: "Do you really want to hit Mediaset? But if he lives on my TV ”.

A game that day by day will reserve other twists on the horizon with the desire to maintain the status quo and prevent a sovereign government at all costs.
