Silvio Berlusconi Bertolaso yesterday confirmed as candidate for mayor of Rome did not speak only of the capital but the future of the center-right. In the sense that its output – “I do not think the primaries, I never believed” – is not only a halt to Salvini on Roman gazebo but it is a clear indication of how it will be chosen – in the near future – the leadership of the Central and right. The fight is not so much whether Berlusconi should still be the candidate for prime minister but rather is in play its role to determine the future of the right hand and his head.
So the Knight of Rome and the young League Secretary continue to duel – as of yesterday Bertolaso - because they are playing a game that propels them already on national elections to make it clear how you will choose the head of the coalition . Salvini wants to expropriate Berlusconi of his role as kingmaker and he resists and relaunches. Before the former prime minister had the votes and had the money, which today has fewer votes and less money – at least for the party – with the primaries would sign its decline because it would no longer even have the role to determine his successor. Why not now go back on the mayor of Rome, because it would mean yielding to admit its irrelevance present and future. He can accept the gazebo but only as a corollary of a choice already made upstream – and in fact announced that it will be in Roman squares on 19 and 20 March – but it can not breach that would demolish what remains of his leadership.
It is true that in Milan, Berlusconi has managed to impose its candidate, Stefano Parisi, without finding too many obstacles. But there, the game is completely different. There is a regional government led by Roberto Maroni, who is based on an alliance of the center-right and any clash on mayoral candidate would have reflected well on the Region. In short, in the territory of Maroni not mess Salvini and got in line. Rome instead has become the perfect ring for a duel with the former prime minister of Forza Italy because in the Capital could also dare a split of the center-right.
Rome thus became a perfect set to stage a local question that refers to the national question: how and who chooses the candidate for mayor of Rome and therefore also the new leader of the center-right national challenge ? Because it is obvious that once we kick off the primary car you can not go back. If you are in Rome it is difficult then do not do it for the choice of the national premiership. As seen in the Democratic Party, that of the gazebo is a point of no return.
The only small concession Knight Salvini is the decision to set up the gazebo to indicate the priorities of the program for the city. The name, however, can not be touched, remains to Bertolaso. Again, in the late evening, Salvini has frozen the former prime minister saying that will make the primary and that Bertolaso is not its candidate but what is difficult to understand how it will end is a suspect. If so sharply rejects Berlusconi’s offensive Salvini, it will not be some that the bank has also found in the League? It’d think that the former premier has calibrated a potentially disruptive move with the most important ally after finding some support in via Belleri. In short, doubt that even in the Northern League Salvini there who would not want to be the next leader of the center-right there. Maybe to launch Luca Zaia, for example.
