“Sliding doors” Forza Italia in Lombardy: the record holder of preferences Cagnolati leaves and passes to Fdi

Forza Italia sliding doors. In Lombardy, with just over a week to go before the national council of 15 July which will nominate Antonio Tajani as pro-tempore president, the movements inside and outside the party continue. A symptom of the state of boiling linked to the death of the founder and the internal tug of war between the “Fascina Boys” linked to the Lombard coordinator Alessandro Sorte and the wing closest to the former regional coordinator, as well as group leader in the Senate, Licia Ronzulli.

Marco Cagnolati’s passage with Fratelli d’Italia, elected councilor at Municipio 3 in Milan with 1,400 preferences and first of the non-elected at Palazzo Marino, was made official today. «I decided to switch to Fratelli d’Italia – he says -, in the end Silvio Berlusconi’s death was a shock for everyone and I remained faithful to him until the end. I can say that for some time, however, I no longer find myself in some Forza Italia positions at the party management level, nationally and locally ». “President Berlusconi – he adds – acted as a glue, I have been a militant for twenty years and therefore it is a painful and hard-fought choice but the last positions of the party do not see me in agreement”.

That of Cagnolati, considered a “recordman” of preferences despite his young age, is certainly a loss that will be felt locally. Among the reasons that prompted him to leave, however, there would also be the fact that Giorgia Meloni’s party, on the chessboard of Milanese politics, has a wild card in its hands. Marco Bestetti, regional councilor of Fdi as well as former coordinator of Forza Italia youth, should in fact soon leave Palazzo Marino (where he had entered as a blue) precisely due to incompatibility with his new position at Pirellone. With the Fdi card in his pocket, at that point, the relay at Palazzo Marino should be done for Cagnolati.

But that of the councilor of Town Hall 3 is not the only movement of the day. Alessandro Sorte, who in recent days had claimed the entry in the last three months of five municipal councilors (in addition to the former Northern League regional councilors Max Bastoni and Gianmarco Senna), this evening, almost as if to counterbalance Cagnolati’s exit in real time, in fact, he will announce the arrival in Forza Italia of Giovanni Amato, mayor of Magherno (Pavia) and current provincial councilor at Third Pole.
