Salvini tears: “The game is still open” – The Time

->

You call them, if you want, allies. The fragile truce signed by the Brothers of Italy and the League on the candidacy of Guido Bertolaso ​​for mayor of Rome lasted only a few days. A blow up the creeping tension caused by the choice of Berlusconi to bet on the former head of the Civil Defense was Matteo Salvini, on hard Bertolaso ​​after stumbling in the early days of the election campaign of “Roma harassed,” “I never voted for Berlusconi” “if I were not I would vote Giachetti” etc. The leader of the Northern League, already nervous about the way in which the game of capital has been handled, considered fills the measure: “The game is not closed. We listen to the citizens and based on what we decide. A closed package will not buy anything. Bertolaso ​​is the candidate that the allies have proposed and to which we said yes, but listen to the citizens before confirming our candidate. ” And, just to be even more clear: “We have never said no to Marchini.”

Statement explosive, causing the immediate furious reaction Giorgia Meloni, who he says “shocked” and announced the package nth leaders summit in Palazzo Grazioli to focus on applications in the cities “minor.” While Silvio Berlusconi can do is cancel the entire summit to keep up appearances and to reiterate the confidence to Bertolaso ​​with a statement in which recalls the League to its responsibilities: “It was indicated by the three forces of the center-right Forza Italy, the Northern League and Brothers of Italy “.

that the decision to focus on Bertolaso ​​had been more tolerated than supported by the Northern League was known from the beginning. But even before the beginning of the candidate, to levitate the doubts via Belleri was the reaction of your base: primarily on social revolt against a candidate with legal troubles in the days when the League beat into other storms as bribery Lombard on health and Ligurian rimborsopoli. Second, the bewilderment of many members who would have been probed to compose the list of Us with Salvini in the capital and in front of the support to the former head of the Civil Protection would be pulled back. To the point that in via Belleri would stand even thinking of an extreme hypothesis: that not to present at the list to avoid bad impression that in Rome a Salvini aiming at national leadership can not afford.

the other hypothesis is to tack on Marchini, perhaps leaving the choice to be made by the voters in that” listening campaign “announced by the leaders which could result in an open primary day to only leaguers militants.

a choice could be made today, the board of Us with Salvini to be held in the morning in Milan. Certainly, if you take the second path, the consequences could be very heavy. The climate with allies is already tense. Without resorting to the background, just mention the icy statements Fabio Rampelli, the parent company of FDI room: “One of two things: either Salvini wants to forget the complicated affairs of Lombardy with the scalp of Bertolaso, or the misfortunes in which he found Bossi’s Lega force him to be lenient with big business promoting other Capitoline nominations. In both cases Salvini proves to have lost the will to stand with the people and despise Rome. ” Rampelli also cites some “pieces” Roman Forza Italy who have never ceased to “flirt” with Marchini.

But the reaction of the Brothers of Italy – despite vociferous of a phone call “clarification” of Salvini and Meloni yesterday evening – goes further: “If Salvini torpedoes Bertolaso even jump Bologna and Milan, “they know entourage of Brothers of Italy. Under the Asinelli tower, in particular, the natural alternative to Lucia Borgonzoni would be ready: that Galeazzo Bignami boasting the regional advisor records the most votes in Emilia and that, despite being joined Forza Italy, is very close to the world meloniano . At that point, though, the infamous “photos of Bologna” would become really a memory and the future of the coalition would have failed at the first experiment of living together.

Of the chaos reigning in the center advantage Francesco Storace, who yesterday from Ponte Sant’Angelo has announced the opening of his campaign for March 6 at the Teatro Quirino, same day of the primaries of the Democratic Party. Without sparing an ironic jab against Bertolaso: “Today we are to February 18, which is the shortest month. Maybe this job comes up in March, but I’m beginning to get the feeling that sooner or later it will release, call the Civil Protection and will bring forth. ” The Liberals, however, who launched the candidacy of the former president of Acea Giancarlo Cremonesi, invited the leader of the center to reconsider their choices and to support their Cremonesi, “the only credible candidate and capable of overcoming this dangerous impasse “.

as for Bertolaso, yesterday continued his campaign as if nothing had happened, assuring that it would soon be clarified with Salvini and addressing the issue of the enormous amount debt choking the capital. To defend the former head of the Civil Defense was the senator of Forza Italy Francesco Giro, “With the declaration of President Berlusconi closes the controversy over the candidacy for mayor of Rome by Guido Bertolaso. Now everyone at work, Forza Italy, Brothers of Italy and the League and all movements and civic lists that will emerge and flourish in the territory who believe in our project of change. More days pass, the more I am convinced that Guido Bertolaso ​​can win and be the 19th mayor of Rome. ” A profession of optimism that, yesterday, a bit ‘forced appeared.
