The trial instituted by Salvini to denounce the damages caused by the Salvini government

On October 3, Matteo Salvini will have to face the first stage of the trial in Catania that sees him accused of kidnapping, for having blocked 131 migrants on the Gregoretti ship for four days, just over a year ago. Throughout Saturday, Matteo Salvini invited the people of the League to escort him. And for the occasion, the former minister suggested to his voters to share a little in front of the court of Catania and a little in the spaces that the leader has chosen to dedicate to a three-day conference “on freedom” organized by the League. juxtaposed in Catania. The Captain’s message is clear: help me remember that what I am going through is nothing more than a political process. Time will tell if having voluntarily defied the rules governing the law of the sea is, for a minister, enough to be sent to trial. But while waiting to understand what the judicial fate of Salvini will be, we can say that the most interesting political process that the League of Salvini is facing is another and is the one that Salvini himself has been deploying for months against what he has had. did Salvini at the time of the Salvini government. And if you notice, there is not a single day that Salvini does not unconsciously campaign against himself. He did so two days ago, when, speaking of the Pasquale Tridico case, appointed head of the INPS by the government of which Salvini was deputy prime minister, Salvini attacked the head of the INPS for having voted for the salary increase, without knowing that the practice for the INPS rate adjustment was initiated by the government of which Salvini was deputy prime minister. Same story for another measure Salvini has been fighting vigorously for months. When the leader of the League, for example, denounces the horrors of the Citizenship Income, he forgets to remember that the Citizenship Income was created by the government of which he was Deputy Prime Minister. The same story for another reform, the one related to the cut in the number of parliamentarians, which Salvini has in fact repudiated, inviting the Northern League closest to him to campaign for No, all despite the cut in the number of parliamentarians it was a reform. born within the majority government of which Salvini was deputy prime minister. The same story for another topic that Salvini had the opportunity to speak during the electoral campaign of the regional teams. When the Lega accuses the government of making life impossible for Ilva investors, it forgets to remember that the law against the criminal shield that ArcelorMittal has used in recent months to try to say goodbye to Taranto was voted on by Salvini in the CDM of 23 of April. Same story due to the excessive proximity of the Italian government to China, as Salvini says, but Salvini forgets to remember that the government that signed the memorandum on the Silk Road was the one for which Salvini was deputy prime minister and forgets to remember that Uno One of the protagonists of that agreement was an undersecretary of the Mise, named Michele Geraci, now back to work in China as a university professor, who was only an exponent of the League. Same story, if you like, with the Month, because the League that today considers the Month an instrument of the devil is the same League that, when it was in government, never questioned the negotiation of the reform of the Month made for Italy at that time Minister of Economy, Giovanni Tria. Same story for another measure Salvini has been fighting vigorously for months. When the leader of the League is outraged by the way in which the accidental use of Trojans would have contributed to undermine the foundations of the rule of law (a Trojan was also activated within the Lombardia Film Commission investigation) he forgets to remember that Who The law that made the massive use of Trojans possible in Parliament for the first time was precisely, with the Bonafede law, the government of which Salvini was deputy prime minister. Salvini is therefore right to worry about how to defuse the media process that could be triggered if the Catania trial takes shape. But even before dealing with that process, there is another that perhaps the League Captain should grapple with – the one stubbornly organized by the League leader himself to remind himself of how much damage a Salvini-led government can do.
