Giorgia Meloni won the internal battle with Matteo salvini. He could have won it more if he had also conquered the Puglia region with Fitto. But Michele Emiliano performed the miracle there, and the probable victory of the president makes Giorgia’s success less resounding.

This party within the party, within the center right, to see who is in charge, Matteo could beat Giorgia with only one condition: that the League snatch the Democratic Party from the Democratic Party. Tuscany. It did not happen. Instead, the encore by Emilia Romagna happened: the head of the Carroccio lost his umpteenth bet. Although his goal now is to show, and repeat ad nauseam, that the Lega is still the most voted party in Italy. But there is no longer the image of the triumphant leader in the territorial wars: he won Friuli, Trentino, Sardinia, Umbria and dragged the center-right in the conquest of Molise, Basilicata, Abruzzo, has transformed and Let’s call the Berlusconians who envied his successes in Luther Blisset, who was a Milan center forward (Salvini is a Milan player) who never saw the goal and missed every time: Miss it (mancalo) was his nickname now given to the lumbard bomber.
Referendum, with the victory of the Yes, impossible to dissolve the Chambers: we need a new electoral law
ROME The expected cataclysm did not happen. According to the first projections in both Tuscany and Puglia, the center-left is ahead. An unexpected three by three is looming that strengthens the government of Giuseppe Conte and above all reassures the secretary of Pd Nicola Zingaretti, who will have arguments not only to promote government action and get him out of the quicksand of the post-health emergency.
Meloni’s victory over Salvini, which is taking shape in these hours, began when the shared decision on the candidacies in the different regions – to Matteo the very difficult Tuscany, to Giorgia Puglia and the Marches – was maintained for six months. does. And Salvini, despite having tried by all means afterwards to change it (he wanted one of his own in Puglia to prevent FdI from winning there and fighting for victory in the race for the national leadership of the coalition), he did not succeed. And he had to retire in good condition.
“The pacts do not change, and I remain true to my word, I hope that others do too”: this was Meloni’s line, aided by Berlusconi, to successfully repel Salvini’s assaults. And at that point began the pessimism about the Carroccio: “On September 20 and 21 we will take another muse like that of Emilia Romagna.”
Thus, the FdI leader emerges stronger in the competition between allies than his competitor. She has ripped the red region from the Democratic Party and not him and the region is Marche. However, there will be no breakup between the two of you, because you both don’t want it. But Salvini’s recurring phrase that is used continuously in this election campaign – “When will I be prime minister …” – will have to be verified by the facts when the center-right will have to choose who to send to Palazzo Chigi. What if it should be Giorgia’s turn?
The question is more open than ever. Meloni was the one who in the last few days said: “If the Regionals end up with a coat in our favor, President Matttarella will have to think …”. That is, dissolve the Chambers and send the country to a vote.
The coat that Meloni was waiting for was not there. And this guarantees the continuity of the legislature and no call to the polls in the short term, and the extended time factor works in Giorgia’s favor because it allows him to continue working on the growth of his own figure as a leader that goes beyond the fences of his party and establishes himself as the reference point for a broad and more reliable right than Salvini’s. The star of what, not from today, is clouded by negotiation errors – the impetuousness of a permanent electoral campaign instead of the sedimentation of a credible project in the medium term and capable of involving large sectors of society and not willing to adventures- and to paddle empty.
Before the vote, Salvini was described, in Forza Italia, as the one who would have been happy about the defeat in Puglia, because it would have increased Meloni’s growth too much. And he was also described as the one who felt that the allies were not supporting him enough – in fact, not at all – against the judicial attacks on the Lega’s accountants. That is, the difficult internal relations within the coalition. However, whose center of gravity (see also Zaia’s victory in Veneto, which is not Salvini’s victory) is increasingly moving away from the Matteo method and the centrality of the League leaders.
In Veneto the Zaia list gets 42% and anticipating this danger, the Salvinist leaders of the party in recent months have done everything possible to prevent strong League candidates from running with Zaia and not Carroccio. The triumphant Governor has been denying for months that he wants to fight a battle for the leadership of the League and knowing him is to be believed but the sense of the so-called Captain’s political limits in the leadership of the League grows more and more.
As for Giorgia, now the rise to number one rests on a stronger foundation. Puglia have not won, but the Marches have won and can only record the failure of the Northern League in Tuscany. Giorgia’s strategy is to become great beyond the fence on the right only. Focusing on the Italians upset by Salvini and the orphans of Berlusconi, which this time has shown the conclusion of his story even more than before. Fitto’s victory would have been an absolute springboard. But Giorgia’s card, in the collapse of Salvini and Berlusconi, is still the most playable in the center right. Lack of political progress, now that the Regionals have seen it in better shape than the others, but we will have to see the list of votes in the next few hours (on this Salvini wants to affirm his first: “He is only interested in those”, they say. ), it would mean closing in the “syndrome of Fini”, that is to say, in an area that has never exceeded 10-15 percent. That’s what Giorgia doesn’t want.
Your problem, however, and you know it very well, is that FdI still lacks a ruling class to match the leader’s ambitions. And it is not enough to be a good television actor. The loneliness of Giorgia, which in any case he has in Crosetto, in Giampaolo Rossi of the Rai Board of Directors and in some other talented directors, is a surmountable condition. But you have to overcome it.
And finally, Rome. This will be the terrain on which the new balance of forces, Salvini more fragile and Meloni more solid, will be immediately tested. The election of the candidate for mayor of Rome 2021 has yet to be defined. Matteo-Giorgia’s arm fight is expected.
