Armchairs and reckoning. The torments of the parties at the grand ball of the government – Corriere.it

Damn if there’s any stuff. Ministers, deputy ministers, undersecretaries, president of Montecitorio and Palazzo Madama, commissions, hundreds of appointments. And there is also a crumb department, for the opposition, however coveted: vice-presidents of the Chambers, Copasir, Rai Vigilanza, Giunta per le Immunit. There is something for everyone, one might say, instead they fight, damn if they fight. The totoministri goes crazy, so many legitimate hypotheses. G.
iorgia Meloni, after the first few meetings and waiting for Sergio Mattarella to call her, has for now systemic thoughts, against starting missteps. Three above all: the effect after everything I’ve done for you, the class effect of the repeaters and the pincer effect. The first is the easiest to dribble.

The line

Giorgia has let her people know that whoever begs at her door will be the last to bring something home, indeed they will have nothing at all. The other two are more insidious to avoid, because they come from the greed of the allies. There are repeat students waiting for compensation, because they have been in the same class for so many years and want to go to the government university, even if they risk weighing it down. And then, more political, there is the risk of pincers, because Lega and Forza Italia demand four departments each. If four plus four equals eight it would be almost half a government, which if it did not respond to the premier but to party logic, almost a single party, would re-propose the dream frustrated by the electoral result: close Giorgia Meloni on both sides and teach her how to live in the world.

The proof of places

But also a time for internal settlement of accounts, where the pre-election alliance between Licia Ronzulli and Antonio Tajani falters in the shadow of Silvio Berlusconiand with Matteo Salvini who, thanks to the electoral collapse, wants to put Giancarlo Giorgetti in the corner before it is too late and, again, with the less powerful but always powerful leaders of the Pd currents who are preparing to run for what remains of power, were it not for the women who perhaps this time are not willing to settle for the consolation prize of the group leaders of the reduced patrol of the Chamber and Senate.

The face of the Sphinx

Salvini knows that peace in via Bellerio is ephemeral, even if he has sacked more parliamentarians than his votes say. Umberto Bossi who opened the Northern Front aloud is less concerned than the silences of Luca Zaia and Massimiliano Fedriga, and with Attilio Fontana struggling with that mastiff of Letizia Moratti. From parts of the Veneto they want two ministers, and it is whispered: Here, when Matteo gets his way, we have to be satisfied with 13 per cent, while when there is a vote for Luca we get to 76. already enough to understand that if the Captain does not puts a burden on ministries in his haversack, life gets tough. It seems that he went on a visit with this argument: Giorgia, you have to put me in the Viminale, I only know what to do. In response, the face of the Sphinx, compared to that of the premier in pectore, would have seemed an open book. He doesn’t want it, there. All we need is that he comes to the government to play the same game he did with Luigi Di Maio, good soul. And then still under investigation for Open Arms, stuff to do more than turn up your nose at the Quirinale.

The cartoon

The task of making a summary if Osho took it, with a cartoon. We see Meloni addressing Salvini with a maternal gaze: You ann to Agriculture, what are you playing with bulldozers ?. Giorgetti instead. It seems that Matteo wants him out of the government, to the maximum president of the Chamber, that it would be so difficult to place Roberto Calderoli in the Senate, that Giorgia is needed by Ignazio La Russa, to keep Palazzo Madama at bay, where changes of shirts could create problems. And then Giulia Bongiorno, who by hell could take a more important ministry than her captain, and if she went to justice she would also have to lose her as a personal advocate. And then perhaps a place for Edoardo Rixi, while the loyal Stefano Bolognini and Alessandro Morelli are difficult to digest.

The mantra

And then Forza Italia. Giorgia Meloni repeating her mantra: We will have everyone’s eyes on us and everything, even the most banal, could turn against us, give me names of quality. S.ilvio Berlusconi who is offended, but how, I created half of yours !. The premier in pectore a coffee in Arcore c ‘went to get it. Two against one. You on one side, the Knight with Marta Fascina on the other. Items without the official stamp on requests. Healthcare for Licia Ronzulli, Anna Maria Bernini vice premier, a place for Maurizio Gasparri, Alberto Baracchini for Culture. In short, a thing in the family. A see you for Antonio Tajani, reservedly suspected of having only thought of himself in his meeting with Giorgia, even if it will not be his fault if one of the few who, as foreign minister, could hold up the relationship with the other Chancelleries. Elisabetta Alberti Casellati was ignored for a long time as well, who as president of the Senate and candidate for the Quirinale found herself in an amen relegated for a seat in Basilicata and only in the Cesarini area re-proposed for a dicastery.

Pulcinella’s secret

That Meloni does not want Ronzulli alla Sanit is the secret of Pulcinella. For you at most, if you really had to, there could be Equal Opportunities, or Youth Policies, ministries that Licia sees as when they choose you last, odd and even, for a game between kids. There is also a double obstacle there. Back to the pincer effect. She is too close to Matteo Salvini, in the eyes of the Brothers of Italy. And then there are ancient rusts. If she rewinds the tape and returns to the challenge for the mayor of Milan, dominated by Giuseppe Sala against Luca Bernardo, she stumbles upon a video. Presentation of the center-right candidate. Meloni is not there, the allies have just left it dry on the Rai appointments. Licia Ronzulli tries to remove Giorgia’s placeholder to put one of her own. A La Russa tightens the vein, hint of a fight: I do not give a (beep) – the screams – I have had enough of this mania to perform, Forza Italia already has four of its in the front row!

The oppositions

And again, down the branches, the oppositions. Maybe a vice president of the Chamber for the Cinque Stelle Chiara Appendino, a place for the calendiana Mara Carfagna. But in the Democratic Party that is played the most complicated game. Probable confirmation for Simona Malpezzi as group leader in the Senate, Debora Serracchiani in the Chamber, threatened by Anna Ascani and not by Paola De Micheli, who is a candidate to lead the Democratic Party after Enrico Letta. Then the institutions. Dario Franceschini vice-president of the Senate, Lorenzo Guerini or Andrea Orlando vice-presidents of the Chamber, Guerini also in the running for Copasir where Enrico Borghi would like to go too. It seems easy, but there is a cow in the corridor, you can’t pass it, Pierluigi Bersani would say. Look, they’re all male.
