Meloni goes on, there is the axis with the League. The idea of ​​choosing the names of Forza Italia alone – Corriere.it

In public he compliments La Russa, a «patriot, servant of the state», an «irreplaceable point of reference, friend, brother». And they are not words of circumstance for Giorgia Melonihappy to have obtained just as he had claimed the election of his loyalist at the first vote.

He had asked for “compactness” as a signal from the allies. She didn’t get it from FI, after a troubled morning meeting with Silvio Berlusconi who reiterated the demands of his party: a important number of ministries – including justice – and above all a role in the government for Licia Ronzulli.

Those who know it well say that the leader of FdI one thing he really can’t stand: being blackmailed and diktat. He did not accept them when he had 3%, let alone now that he not only has the strength of numbers, but the task of forming a government that will have to respond to dramatic emergencies. This is also why he did not think about it for a minute and closed the channels of communication with Berlusconi. Reiterating his “No” stentorian to Ronzulli and giving the green light to the vote on La Russa, knowing well – as explained by FdI – that “politics has its rules, and one of these is that if you have to get yourself elected president of the Senate, contacts to get a few more votes there take in time, for safety, always … This is how politics works ».

Therefore the choice to go straight on his way she was aware how strong. And she led – are the unanimous comments – to her victory, in terms of leadership, image, strength: «You have shown that you do not let the internal tensions that the other two parties have: either they follow her, or she is ready for anything. Even to go and vote»Says a very faithful one. And it is she herself in public to postpone the knot of unitary consultations as the center-right or each on her own as a threat FI (“We’ll see in the next few days”) and to warn that she will not be conditioned on anything: “I am sure that everyone is I realize this nation needs a government and we have one responsibilities that the Italians have entrusted to us. I am a responsible person, I trust that others are also responsible. We work for Italy, I hope that others want to do the same. We will verify it ».

In short, there is not only to celebrate, because having dominated the tug of war leaves disappointment, anger, tense relationships on the ground: “I do not intend to stop in front of secondary situations”, commented in public the non-vote in La Russa of FI. Then: «Today was a very serious one gesture of disrespect»He added speaking to the deputies as the ally with whom he is in constant contact, that Salvini with whom the axis that instead fell apart between the Lega and FI, despite the very close relations between the same until yesterday Salvini and Ronzulli.

The Northern League leader was just as sure that La Russa would make it, as he was pleased with the negotiations who are giving away an important ministerial team to his party. So now he can afford to go quietly on his way and give mediator suggestions: “Let the situation settle a bit before making decisions, let’s calm our hearts,” he told both of them. Because there is a bad mood overflowing in FdI against the blues, many have asked Meloni to “give nothing” to the allies, because “they do not realize, they think only of seats and armchairs: and after their gesture we will have to vote them for vice presidencies? And why?”.

How to move now then? Those who have heard it think that at this point the “very generous” offer valid until yesterday morning will not remain the same. Right now does not intend to grant FI the same dicasteries as promised (there were 5), and surely on the names it will be she and she alone who will choose who will go where, regardless of the indications of the respective parties. Perhaps by entrusting the role of vice premier to Salvini and Tajani, whom you trust. On the other hand, it is the path you have decided to take, a government made up of ministers of your liking who are up to the task. Just like Giorgetti, on whom – after the meeting with Salvini – for the first time he is unbalanced: “

He would be an excellent minister of the economy“.
