Long live the right looking for an alternative to the Salvini model

If, in order to hope for a future, the center-right must begin to erase its past, to what extent can the center-right allow itself to erase its past without also erasing salvinism? The case of the EPP, Europe, the Zaia model, the Giorgetti method, the murmuring allies and the contradictions of the liberal revolution. Looking for a non-severe right

The less extreme allies of the League must have been startled when yesterday morning, reading the interview with Corriere dal Capitano, they discovered that according to Matteo Salvini, Italy needs “a liberal revolution”. Salvini, in the same interview, He also says that Italy that he has in mind, in order not to miss the train of the “liberal revolution”, would have the duty to follow Orbán’s model., which just a year ago recalled how the objective of his Hungary is precisely to build “an illiberal state.” But apart from Orbán, dreaming of a liberal revolution marrying the Orbán model is like saying that you don’t want to leave the euro by entrusting the economic management of your party to the euro exit theorists, the real fact that counts in the interview of Salvini. that even the secretary of the League seems to have understood what his allies have long understood: To hope for a future, the center-right must begin to erase its past.. And erasing its past means doing what the center-right has been trying to do for a few months: letting go of the old anti-European theories, the old anti-Euro theories, the old infatuation with the Golden Dawn, the old hatred for the EPP, Putin’s old crushes, old xenophobic twists, and the attempt to restore the appeal of the center-right by embracing an old campaign of Italian moderates: nothing less than “open the coalition to civil society.”
