Other than internal currents: Salvini has it with the Veneto

Always a “reservoir region” for the votes of the Northern League, there is no minister to represent it in the Meloni government. A setback that goes beyond the well-known tensions in the base: the Zaia junta was left unwell. Perhaps another league is being born in those parts

The doubt at this point comes: Could it be that Salvini is on the receiving end of the whole package, from the Dolomites to the lagoon? Because of Veneto in Lega, in Palazzo Chigi, not even the shadow. Zero ministers in the future Meloni government. Indeed, in Zaia’s team there is consolation for the appointment of Adolfo Urso and Carlo Nordio, “who are from Padua and Treviso”. But elected with Brothers of Italy. Between councilors and regional councilors, the discouragement is evident. The novelty, however, is that these are not the usual internal dissidents, who have been hammering the Roman leaders of the Carroccio guilty of having neglected the territory for months. Even the doves were upset. With calm but bewildered tones: if silent loyalty to the party line is treated like protest, the consequences must be drawn. Because in short, the League will also be born in Lombardy and matured in Rome. But in these parts it can count on the most massive electoral basin in Italy. And discovering being pecked and beaten, cuckolded and beaten up, nobody likes it.
