Justice and reforms, a competition between allies – Corriere.it

Modestly, we speak of reformulation. And the Northern League minister himself Robert Calderoli, father of the differentiated autonomy of the Regions, says he is ready to accept changes. But the recent halt of the Carroccio summit makes the allies understand that the issue remains pending. The fear that the reform will crystallize the country’s divisions and give the opposition a strong argument in the electoral campaign is palpable. It is no coincidence that FdI, Giorgia Meloni’s party, lets Matteo Salvini know that the political stakes remain. It will be one of the topics of greatest friction in the right-wing majority between now and the 2024 Europeans.

The exchange between the premiership wanted by Palazzo Chigi and the autonomy claimed by the League shouldn’t in theory create problems. The official thesis that the two things are held. In reality, however, they risk colliding, because they reflect two poles apart political cultures. And few are betting that both will be approved. They could become opposing electoral flags, which weak oppositions are ready to point to as symbols of a coalition that is both Northern and internally divided. On the other hand, tensions range from institutional to judicial issues. And, again, they re-propose the creeping competition to the right between the FdI and the Lega. Salvini’s separation from the fate of the Minister of Tourism, Daniela Santanch, whose opponents are asking for the resignation, suggests not exactly painless passages. Yesterday Santanch reiterated that she will not take any steps back.

I don’t understand why I should do this. I haven’t received a warranty notice yet. Some newspapers write big lies, he added announcing lawsuits. On the other hand, the premier has so far decided to defend it despite the at least ambiguous outlines of her entrepreneurial affairs. But the Northern League’s attitude certainly does not guarantee the minister, especially if there are developments in the judicial investigation. No one in embarrassment, assures the Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani, leader of FI. We rely on the judiciary and we have faith. Stn the background, in addition to that of Daniela Santanch, there are also the cases of the Undersecretary of Justice, Andrea Delmastro, and of the President of the Senate, Ignazio La Russa, due to the accusations of rape of one of his children. a delicate and uncertain situation, destined to cross the paths of government and judiciary; and made more tense by the resistance of the judiciary to the reform hypotheses of the Minister of Justice, Carlo Nordio. Palazzo Chigi’s attempt to lower the obvious conflict as much as possible. But the difficulties and obstacles are also evident.
