The allies besiege the League: “We rethink the center right”

by CARMELO LOPAPA

“It is a time when society needs precise answers – explains Salvini in the Vespa program – we have created departments. So there is no Salvini, there is Salvini who is part of a team with hundreds of good people. There is the disability department with Locatelli, there will be one on agriculture (with former minister Gian Marco Centinaio, ed.) And another on tourism … So we are organizing ourselves as an old-fashioned party. – concludes the leader – to the plastic parties, to the Rousseau platform and to the commercial party. I believe in municipal and regional councilors ”. At the head of the departments are the probable names of Erika Stefani for autonomy, Giulia Bongiorno for justice, Lucia Borgonzoni for culture, Alberto Bagnai for economics, Claudio Durigon for work and Edoardo Rixi for infrastructure.

The reorganization of the party began at the beginning of the year, after the federal congress that initiated the gradual transfer of all party organs from the Northern League to the Salvini Premier League. After the defeat in the regional elections of Emilia-Romagna, the secretary of the Northern League accelerated the process, initiating the appointment of the heads of the thematic departments, which ended in the spring. Movement from its origins built around the figure of the leader – before Salvini, with Umberto Bossi and Roberto Maroni – the League has historically had two types of collegiate bodies: the federal council in which all the regional secretaries sat, in addition of governors and group leaders and a smaller political secretary. During Bossi’s last years of leadership, it was Maroni who headed the political secretariat, a body that he later proposed again during his tenure.
