The longest day by Luca Ciriani, minister and “composed patriot”

Group leader in the Senate until 2022, historical Melonian, calm Friulian and peacemaker. Portrait of the government official whom someone considers responsible for the collapse of the majority on the Def

He does a job that cannot be seen, but also a job that – when it can be seen – is because perhaps something has gone wrong, somewhere in the Chamber, even if it may not be his fault. And that’s what happened to Luca Ciriani, Minister for Relations with Parliament and Senator of FdI, former Melonian group leader in the Senate during the previous legislature, the day when (the day before yesterday) the government unexpectedly went under the House on budget deviation and Giorgia Meloni, from London , did not send them to say. And they say that the minister – who at the time of the crime was in the Senate, where the prime minister had really wanted him, until 2022, in the role of the one who observes, advises, counts and keeps the troops at bay, given his patriotic qualities composure, calm Friulian and peacemaker – was at first dumbfounded at the news of the unthinkable that became an incredible reality, and then abandoned the traditional aplomb, all the more having spent the previous days warning, signaling, checking, formally and informally, waves to prevent. In other words: guys, Thursday’s vote on the Def is important.
