Salvini opens to Draghi at the Quirinale but not at Musumeci bis

by admin

“But where are they doing the Giro d’Italia?”. On the sofa of the suite on the fifth floor of the Nettuno hotel, Matteo Salvini releases tension by torturing the remote control. From the balcony you embrace the Gulf of Ognina, but despite the arrival of a text message from Nello Musumeci (“it was really nice”), the horizon of the Sicilian Regionals remains far away. Does the League support the proclaimed re-nomination of the governor? “I haven’t asked myself the problem yet,” he cuts short. While denying that there are cold relationships after the failed marriage with DiventBellissima. «I will soon deal with Palermo and the Region, but one thing at a time: for now – he specifies – there are other priorities. I want to help Sicily get the lion’s share of European funds ». But above all there are those three words – the sun-heart-love in the Salvinano catchphrase of the summer of 2021 – which already seem to be the slogans of an electoral campaign that begins on the day in which the trial in Catania is avoided: “Health, work and tourism”.

The strategy, which he talks about in the interview with Sicily, is traced: “I have to hear it, I will ask Draghi to reopen, with rigor and prudence, wherever possible”. And in the next few hours Salvini will bring together mayors and governors to reinforce the hyper aperturist message. “With security protocols, everything must reopen, without curfews or time constraints: indoor restaurants and bars, theme parks, weddings. All”. A request, he claims, that “belongs to everyone: I take charge of the governors and mayors of the Democratic Party, of the restaurateurs of the Democratic Party …”. For Sicily “from Monday luckily we start again in yellow, but tourism is in difficulty even if I have heard many operators: from July onwards there is already almost sold out, the problem is to save June by giving an image of health and freedom “. Starting from the fact that “this government had two objectives: the first is health and here the Draghi-Son combination is certainly much more incisive than the Conte-Arcuri combination, but the second is the restart”. An issue on which the premier has so far been “cautious”, but now the former minister challenges him: “The incredible thing would be to lose more precious time in order not to give Salvini satisfaction. Because maybe someone thinks that drinking a coffee at the counter in Catania is my victory and not the barista’s. There are two million jobs at stake here. “

But in Rome there is someone increasingly convinced that the leader of the League is now aiming to shorten the duration of the Draghi government. To vote as soon as possible. “I do not allow myself to put expiration dates on President Draghi,” he holds back. But he immediately adds: “If he wanted to be President of the Republic he would have our convinced support.” And he says: «If you apply in February, you already know that you have the convinced support of the whole League. Maybe he will want to go on to Palazzo Chigi ». The former minister swears allegiance to SuperMario (“I have no intention of denying a choice of love made for the country, perhaps in the Pd and M5S home there are those who are waiting for nothing else”) and warns him. Immediately: «Letta’s daily provocations are not an attack on me, but on Draghi, they are a problem for Draghi. If Letta manages to make a controversy with the League every single day, it weakens the government ». Both on the race to Colle: «In the Democratic Party they have at least ten aspiring presidents of the Republic. Draghi for some is cumbersome. For me no..”.

In short, cohabitation with the Giallorossi allies is increasingly complicated. Also for personal relationships. «I was surprised by the silence of the Democratic Party, of Letta. I didn’t expect anything about the trial, but about the threats, about which Raggi also wrote to me, her silence is unpleasant from a human point of view. They don’t have to say “long live the League!”, But, if they write to you, I blow you up with all your family, I expect a small message from the allies (laughs, ed) on the left, just as I did with Boldrini on the his health events “. Salvini interrupts the interview and consults the smartphone. “Neither Conte, nor di Maio, nor Letta: I’ll inform you if they write to me, I wouldn’t want to be denied …”.

Another clue to the government’s shorter breath of the best? Yet “we are in May, in full economic crisis” and “the emergencies of the next few months for me will be the release of layoffs, tax bills, mortgages that start again”, misleading. Even if he then sinks, confessing: “It is not this majority that will make the tax reform or that of justice, on which we will collect signatures to stimulate”. The Cartabia award already rejected by Giulia Bongiorno? «The minister may have the best ideas in the world, but if you are in parliament with the Pd and M5S, for which anyone walking down the street is an alleged culprit, it’s difficult. One of the referendums we are proposing is on the civil liability of magistrates .. ». And it is obvious that even on the issue of migrants the bargaining power increases: “There is a ruling that says that a minister can wake up Europe, now I expect he can give more energy to the current Minister of the Interior (Luciana Lamorgese, but he does not appoint her, ed) “, who” maybe he was fearful up to now “and that” now the elements to intervene are available “. But how? “Do what Spain or Malta, Greece and France do: even rejections, if needed.”

Although Salvini’s electoral frenzy was denied, it could also be linked to Giorgia Meloni’s rise in the leadership of the center-right. “I am happy for you, I do not suffer from your growth”, he hisses, convinced that “the choice of those who take responsibility for government in such a dramatic and difficult moment will be rewarded” against “party convenience would have recommended something else”. Then he reassures: “With Giorgia we felt, in spite of the owls, Berlusconi also called me from the hospital: he is not in great shape, but he was very nice”. In short, the leader of the League flaunts compactness: «For Mother’s Day I congratulated Meloni, we always talked to each other even in the most complicated moments. The fact that there has been the okay on the center-right combined with the administrative is important. See you next week. ” But for the Regionals in Sicily, the center-right table has the timing evoked by the regional secretary Nino Minardo: “There is time, we still have a year and a half,” confirms Salvini. Who glosses: «We’ll talk about it again. I have a trial in Palermo anyway, so I’ll come down more often … ».
