Who (and why) does not like Salvini at the Ministry of the Interior

Who (and why) does not like Salvini at the Ministry of the Interior

Salvini dossier for Meloni. The Scratches of Damato

That Matteo Salvini at the Viminale, but at the concierge to check if there is the minister whose visitor on duty has asked, is of course only the cartoonistic and paradoxical representation by Stefano Rolli – on the 19th Century – of the political chronicles on the preparation of the government, between meetings, phone calls, visits and secret missions, in which Giorgia Meloni is involved. Moreover, with Salvini she has already seen and who knows how many times even heard or texted by phone, without having to wait for the formal assignment of the office of Prime Minister, when the new legislature will become viable for the initiatives and decisions of the Head of State .

I exclude, at a guess, that the League, although it is going through an internal crisis even more serious than the one that exploded when Umberto Bossi was forced to leave leadership, may or will want to commit the suicide of external support to the government in retaliation against a possible refusal of the Interior Ministry opposed him not only and not so much by the candidate at Palazzo Chigi but by the President of the Republic in the face of the judicial proceedings still open for his first passage to the Ministry of the Interior.

It's okay that the man today all rosaries, medals and the like comes from the experience of the social center in via Leoncavallo in Milan, forcibly evicted in the summer at the time of the mayor Paolo Pillitteri and punctually reoccupied amid the useless protests of the innocent inhabitants. But, thank goodness, the League is not yet reduced to that state. In one way or another this mess will come out without nullifying the electoral victory of the center-right. Even Carlo Calenda , the one who still does not fully believe in this victory even if admitted in words, thinks that the government will be born and bypass the New Year.

By hook or by crook, in a suit or another, with a beard as he returned after having satisfied Silvio Berlusconi who had asked him to cut it or again without it, Salvini will start the legislature: and a little better – I believe or hope – of how he made the 2018 one take off with the grillini heirs even of the "centrality" that had been of the DC during the so-called first Republic. A more realistic position will be found for him than the Viminale porter's lodge.

As in the Democratic Party, the opposition, incredibly managed to take less parliamentarians than the League with an electoral law from a mental hospital despite having obtained more than double his votes, I believe that the resigning secretary will not end up as in the morgue concierge imagined yesterday by Francesco Piccolo on Repubblica . “Let us stay and let the others go”, the old Sergio Stajno shouted today, also from Repubblica . I imagine the tears of which – at his age – to see his teammates chasing Giuseppe Conte on the left. Mind-boggling stuff.
