Rome, November 19, 2020 – Center-right wave increases: three Members of Forza Italia in the Chamber they go to the parliamentary group of the League. This is Laura Ravetto, former undersecretary of the Berlusconi government, Federica Zanella me Maurizio Carrara. The three explain the decision taken in the following way: “We have decided to engage in politics, at different times and in different ways, convinced that the values and programs of the center-right are the appropriate response for the country. We thank Silvio Berlusconi for giving us the opportunity to translate our skills and our “feeling” into concrete political action. However, as elected from single-member electoral districts with the votes of the entire center-right, we live with discomfort the growing openings to the government and winks with the Democratic Party ”.
And they continue: “We recognize that Forza Italia has also lost that momentum that had led it to be a meeting place for the entire center-right and we believe that this meeting place is today represented by the Lega di Matteo salvini, which we think may be the best interpreter of that liberal revolution whose values are more current and necessary than ever, as well as the Party with which it is better to consistently carry out that unitary program to which we ‘put our face’ in the electoral campaign, and which we do not want to betray. For all these reasons, we firmly adhere to the Lega group, confident that, in this group, we will be given the opportunity to keep fighting the best battles policies in which we have always believed and that have characterized us in the classroom and in the territories ”.
Salvini against Cav (and the messengers)
And therefore in the center-right the controversy broke out after Berlusconi’s openings to the government. Who has not digested, in particular, the collaborative profile assumed by the former prime minister, is the leader of the Northern League Matteo salvini, who goes on the attack, while in a more remote position is the president of FdI Giorgia Meloni.
Salvini, in the morning, argued head-on with Berlusconi and his followers, sparing no open accusations of association: “My relations with Forza Italia? I am interested in relations with Italians. The appeal of Mattarella is collaboration, not clutter and reorganizations. It seems to me that for Pd, M5S, Renzi and also for some pieces of Forza Italia we are talking about places, not things to do. Parliament has been busy for 15 days canceling the security decrees. Is this the country’s priority? “.
For Salvini, in short, at the Azzurri at the moment “there is a certain ambiguity.
Berlusconi: “No participation in majorities or governments with incompatible political forces”
“Go Italy does not intend to participate in majorities or governments with Incompatible political forces, but feels the deep duty to assume the responsibilities towards the Nation that derive from the very serious moment that Italy is going through, the worst health and economic crisis since the end of the Second World War. ” Silvio Berlusconi in a note in which, among other things, he states: “I read with astonishment a series of news and journalistic commentaries referring to the role of Forza Italia and alleged differences with some allied political forces. “In this sense, our allies know very well that without Forza Italia and without the other central political forces that represent fundamental cultures and traditions in our democracy as the Christian Democrat, the Liberal and the Socialist, we would not have a center-right, but a isolated right in Italy and in Europe, without being able to win the elections, or to govern the country, exactly as happens in France with the National Front ”. The former prime minister finally returns to the appeal launched in recent days to the political forces of Sergio Mattarella, to clarify the meaning of the “Fi’s willingness to collaborate, in the spirit of the calls of the Head of State, to aUnit substantial part of the nation. “An election, he remarks, that” has nothing to do with palatial maneuvers, with which I have often defined “political theater‘”, But that must be understood, he concludes,“ as a line of institutional responsibility and political clarity from which it is clearly derived that we will never participate in a government with political forces totally incompatible for us ”.
Forza Italia’s reactions
The senator Licia Ronzulli, very close to Berlusconi, rejects the statements of Salvini to the sender and invites him to “make a phone call to Berlusconi this morning so that they can clarify once and for all.” For the blue vice president Antonio Tajani “It is not a mess to try to get concrete proposals to be approved to protect workers, companies, families and the self-employed. And to guarantee the health of Italians using the 37 billion dollars of the Month. It is only common sense and a sense of responsibility to protect rights of the citizen “.
