for the executive Silvio you bring out talents, his vision is for this – Corriere.it

It is more than a wish. It is almost a certainty, all the more so after the formalization of the meeting between the Knight and the leader of the Brothers of Italy to be held this afternoon in via della Scrofa: “Neither Silvio Berlusconi nor Giorgia Meloni really think of interrupting their work to the good of the country for personal matters. Italy also comes before Giorgia’s legitimate irritation ».

Guido Crosetto, very close to the leader of the Brothers of Italy and in anticipation of becoming a minister in his government, does not condemn and do not censor. He tries to understand the difficulties of political and human relationships but he knows that a shot will surely come, because “patience is the main gift of leaders”.

For Meloni it is a question of overcoming the rudeness of FI’s non-vote in La Russa and a piece of paper full of criticism from those who seem not to recognize its leadership. Isn’t this something that will leave its mark on the government’s path, despite the foreseeable mending?

«I think it is difficult for anyone to accept that they are no longer in the position of whoever gives the cards. It is for a normal person, let alone for someone like Berlusconi who has done extraordinary things, as a leader in every sector of their business. He is in human nature ».

Perhaps it is precisely the training, the road traveled, the origin of Meloni and Berlusconi that make the relationship difficult?

“In this case, I really believe that the needs are different. Meloni has an extraordinary opportunity, yes, but at the worst moment from an economic and social point of view, perhaps in the entire post-war period. And you must expect to have a team made up of the best possible profiles, which allow you to set up and implement the program and deal with emergencies ».

Is that why he said no to Ronzulli?

«A prime minister has the right to choose who he deems most suitable for each role. You need an unassailable team from every point of view: we have already seen how the opposition has already seized the ball on the presidencies of the Chambers to raise the tone of the controversy by turning it into international defamation that weakens the country ».

Meloni’s task is clear, to give his mark to the executive’s action. But what contribution could Berlusconi make today? What should and could his role be, given that the leader is occupied?

«He more than others has the sensitivity to understand the needs of Italian companies, he knows the needs and problems of the productive world like nobody else, he must be the bearer of the vision of this part of Italian society. We need his vision and experience of him. And not only”.

“Precisely in the formation of the government: if Berlusconi brought people of the quality of those he brought to his companies, we would be fine. Give us a Confalonieri, a Doris, a Marina Berlusconi, a Gianni Letta … Bring us out the talents, the Gullits, the van Basten, the Baresi! He expects his contribution on this too ».

And what do you expect from the opposition?

«Awareness of the difficulties of the moment, which requires everyone’s responsibility. If the center-right will make decisions that can be shared for the country, we must expect a mature attitude, because the moment is too difficult for the guerrillas ”.

But could it not have been gestures of openness to the opposition, rather than choosing presidents with very distinctive profiles for the Chambers and the Senate?

“We are all characterized, each has their own political history behind them. But when one becomes an institution from partisan politicians, that institution is represented and the personal vision of things is also limited. We must be judged on that task, not on anything else ».

In short, if FI splits, does it exclude an enlargement of the majority to other forces, such as the Third Pole?

«With Meloni as president, yes. With her, this government was born as a center-right government, made up of the forces that won the elections. But I see no alternative to a center-right government. There is no space, and there will be no need for it. “

Will you be part of this government?

“I never talked about my position and never asked to be part of the government. I am happy to do what I do. If I am called because you think it could be useful in some way, serving Italy in some role, at that point I will ask myself the problem ».
