Referendum, the two-sided campaign of the right: yes but also no. He voted for the cut and is now campaigning only to overthrow the government.

In the classroom they pressed compact to Yep, now many at the polls will cross the Not. An influential and weighty piece League decided to campaign and vote versus he parliamentary court. Apparently in open disagreement with the official party line, but at the same Matteo salvini to play on two tables it can be very convenient: “The League votes yes. But we are not one barracks and if someone wants to vote differently do itThe secretary repeated several times. That on the one hand appeals to “coherence” to justify the Yep, on the other hand, knows how to convince voters to give a shoulder with the government, with the Regional but also with an investment of the Not in the referendum, it can become a gift for the League and for the entire opposition.

Salvini tries to show that the referendum will not be exploited: “I voted four times yes by the court of parliamentarians and I will vote in favor for the fifth time, “he explained, underlining again”we are consistentBehind the scenes, however, he writes the Corriere della Sera, imposed the stop in explanations of vote by the league players. The times of the banquets and of countryside in favor of cutting parliamentarians are a distant memory: now Salvini speaks little of the referendum and reluctantly. On the other hand, he let the great names of the party express themselves, in a kind of parallel campaign.

The last to leave was the president of the Lombardy Region, Attilio fontana: “I really think about vote no“He confirmed it on Monday morning. Giancarlo Giorgetti, a few days ago, he was even more explicit and openly justified his not, speaking precisely of the risk of making “a favor to the government. “What Salvini cannot say, he does Roberto Castelli, former Minister of the Justice League: “He – he says referring to the leader – must be consistent, that’s why he will vote yes, but I think 80% of our voters will vote no “. The deputies and the senators? “There I think of 100% for the noCastelli says.

Giorgia Meloni is in the same condition: Brothers from Italy voted four times for him Yep in Parliament and now denies turning point counted by The newspaper: “The position of the party she hasn’t changedRead an official note. On Sunday, however, Meloni herself said: “The idea that maybe the victory of no you can create a shock to the government, you risk winning. And I don’t think you can always turn to the other side versus what the people want. “Less than a year ago in Montecitorio the votes of the Lega and the FdI had been all by itself, but today there is the possibility of giving the government a boost.

Like FdI, also the League has always supported the need to reduce parliamentarians: theOctober 8th The last ones in Montecitorio were 111 Northern League votes in favor of the last green light for reform. The opposites? Zero. The abstentions? Mashed potatoes. He went Less than a year, However, everything has changed. Salvini must keep up appearances and cannot change orientation. But let him influential faces of the party continue the parallel campaign: There is Giorgetti, is the lombard governor Fontanathe former minister also revealed the letters Gian Marco Centinaio. They are not the only ones: the first to speak out against the cut was the economist Claudio Borghi, but the former undersecretary has also arrived Armando Siri and deputies Guglielmo Picchi, Paolo Grimoldi me Massimiliano Capitanio. All parliamentarians of weight, as the secretary of the League in Lombardy.

Picchi, Grimoldi, Capitanio: favorable, favorable, favorable. The data from Open Parliament on the vote in the plenary session on October 8, the Yep pressed in Montecitorio and today unauthorized. Voted in favor of the reduction of parliamentarians also Siri, when the Senate spoke on July 11, 2019. Today they openly discuss the no, like the former undersecretary Giorgetti who also had voted for the cut and in the course of his political career he even has it several times sustained: “The seats can be 500, 400, 300,” he said a year ago in Atreju.

“It is a drift that must be strongly avoided,” says Giorgetti now. But he admits: yes “would be a favor to a government in difficulties ”and therefore“ it is also for this reason that I will vote no“. The governor Fontana instead, try to argue: “I am worried when constitutional changes are made with tears, because then there is the risk of creating a wound in another part of the Constitution“Explained the Northern League. The one with our Letter He did not care a year ago, when the future of the government was at stake: “We are consistent and we are ready immediately to the court of parliamentarians before going to the vote, “Fontana said at the time. Same parable of the former minister Centinaio. “I have not participated in without vote in the Chamber, in the Senate, so as not to embarrass the comrades and the party, ”the Northern League defends itself today. But he had been among those who had proposed to the M5 the yes to the cut of the parliamentarians: “You vote for the cut and then you give power to the people,” he said on August 13, to avoid an agreement between Cinquestelle and P.S.

The reasons then today they are no longer valid, then Hundreds will vote against: “I do not know how many MPs in the League will vote no, I only know that many colleagues do not express themselves and as always, as Don Camilo said ‘God sees you at the polls, someone else not …‘”. According to One Hundred i no league there will be many. “Fortunately, the League is not a barracks,” Salvini said Saturday from Matera after Giorgetti’s no. Again on Monday morning, the leader of the League reiterated: “The referendum is the triumph of democracy, of freedom of thought, every citizen will decide with his head“And then the League seems to want to remember what he said Ugo Tognazzi in the movie And samples: “With a no you get energetic, with a yes you hang yourself.”
