the application by Guido Bertolaso ​​for the center-right is not granted. At least for Matteo Salvini. The statements on Roma ‘harassed’ pronounced in recent days by the former head of civil protection are not “digested” by the League’s electorate. “A pig in a poke do not buy anything,” warns the leader of the League, which immediately adds: “Bertolaso ​​has been proposed by the allies and we accepted it as a guide, but between the yes and the elections there is the opinion of Roman citizens. I see what I tell the people of Rome and that will affect my final decision. ” Words that come at the end of a press conference in the Senate sponsored by the Northern League leader to announce an event on April 25 in Milan against Renzi.

The rethinking of Bertolaso ​​is a real cold shower for Silvio Berlusconi, who was waiting Salvini and Meloni at Palazzo Grazioli to define applications in other cities. Within a few minutes the summit jumps. The FDI leader goes on a rampage declaring himself “shocked” and does not want to sit at the table with Salvini. His right arm and FDI leader, Fabio Rampelli, accused the secretary of the Northern League (and part of Fi) of “sabotage” and to make people forget “the complicated affairs of Lombardy with the scalp of Bertolaso.”

Berlusconi tries to run for cover and after a phone call with Salvini causes a note reiterating that Bertolaso ​​is the candidate indicated by “Forza Italy, the Northern League and the Brothers of Italy”. But the situation now seems out of control. Francesco Storace, the candidate of the Right, who recently denounced calls for him to retire, it says certain that Bertolaso ​​in March will not be the candidate of the center. Inside FDI they are convinced that Salvini points to put on track Alfio Marchini, the entrepreneur who obtained the latest municipal 10% of the vote and is now supported by fittiani and Ncd but which had placed Meloni considering veto too far left. At this point anything is possible. Also that the league wants to get out. It is not excluded that the Northern League leader decides not to submit the list which bears his name in Rome. Especially if it aired the risk of a flop for ‘Us with Salvini, “which could have an effect beyond the Capitol. To point to the premiership Salvini must establish that his party goes beyond the boundaries of Padania. And Rome has therefore become a test case.

Even though Berlusconi threatens. It is no secret that some of the party would have preferred to converge on Marchini. “But now the candidate is Bertolaso ​​and we support it,” confirms Maurizio Gasparri, who yesterday met with former Secretary to provide “useful advice in private.” Who knows if among them there is also to avoid participation in the convention organized tomorrow by the former mayor Francesco Rutelli who Bertolaso ​​seems still willing to participate. The fear of blue is that the party suffers another setback in June because Bertolaso ​​will present his civil list.

But back back is just as dangerous. “If you miss Bertolaso, jumps around,” warns Berlusconi. Also because the friction between the League and FDI are not only in Rome: Bologna at Novara and Pordenone, Salvini wants candidates League mayors. But fdi tip feet, even stronger increase of the vote in recent months. Wednesday is the call for a committee meeting was set to instruct the chapter nominations. A meeting but could jump if before then Salvini, Meloni and Berlusconi will not find the “square.”
