Lega, Salvini prepares the new team. Your: "Return to the Interior Ministry"

They are missing 52 weeks to vote, we need to build a strong team in view of the elections, a team that can have everyone’s support and exploit every potential, starting from historical battles of the League and the territories. If we can work together, we win, and the Lega can meet the challenge of overcoming the 10% to Policies.

Salvini aims to increasingly strengthen the League

After three hours of meeting and “real” internal discussion, it’s the turn of Matteo Salvini make a summary. The Northern League secretary is keen to point out that the party has “listened carefully to the interventions” and is determined to increasingly strengthen the Legavalorising within the party the great commitment of the administrators, appreciated in all territories. The leader of the via Bellerio party outlines the road map for the reorganization: it will be discussed again in a new meeting of the federal council next week, the “synthesis” will take place in the retreat on 4 and 5 July in the Treviso area, and then launch the project on the Pontida stage on 20 September.

The reorganization of the League

The objective is a reorganization with the possible shifting of roles from a team perspective, a final project that will be put on the table. “Today there was no nomination”, he also certifies Luca Zaiaresponding to those who ask him about the possibility of him becoming deputy secretary of the party. “He will certainly have a role”, say the Salvinians, “like others” in the party. And the name that is given is, among others, that of Massimiliano Fedriga.

The Csu-Cdu model remains in the drawer

Leaving the Palazzo dei Gruppo di Montecitorio, Zaia is keen to underline how the League is “one”. The result is that there is no longer talk of the CSU-CDU model but rather of other forms of “federal” reorganization of the party, awaiting any appointments in the near future (but Zaia is away with his family next week and will not be able to participate in the federal elections).

Leadership and internal comparison

While the Venetian deputy secretary, the president Alberto Stefanigives his willingness to hand over his delegations to the secretary. No one, during the meeting, questions the leadership of Salvini. The leader of the Senate Massimiliano Romeo speaks of “loss of credibility due to everyone’s responsibility”. And many, in their interventions (Zaia, Fedriga, the group leaders Romeo and Riccardo Molinarithe minister Giancarlo Giorgetti) remember the skills shown when Salvini was at the helm of Interior Ministry. As far as we know, in almost all the interventions the secretary is asked to return to reclaim the leadership of the Ministry of the Interior.

“Stakes against Vannacci”

Salvini says nothing, lets everyone talk and listens, thanking them for the frank and constructive discussion, inviting them to the next federal meeting to continue their work. According to what is reported, the leader of the League in the Chamber, Molinari, underlines the need to set hard “boundaries” against Vannacci and at the same time he does not hide the possibility that the former general could draw his support from the centre-right.

“Bring Salvini back to the Interior Ministry”

Hence the idea put on the table: on safety the government is doing a lot but we need a politician who knows how to explain the results brought home: if the Brothers of Italy insists on the electoral law, that’s fine, but at this point give the League the possibility of “bringing” Salvini back to power Interior Ministry. The hypothesis of a revival of “northernism” is among the most heated objects of discussion, with criticism from some southern exponents of Romeo’s observations. But then everything is resolved. The other topic of discussion is how to deal with the dangers represented by the party founded by Vannacci. The prevailing line is that of the secretary: avoid talking about the general.

The League is aiming for a change of pace

Team and government objectives: the League is therefore aiming for change of pace. In the federal council we not only talk about the direction that the League must pursue, but also that of the government. The request, explains sources who participated in the meeting, is to ensure that the executive gives itself some priorities between now and the end of the legislature and that within this framework the party of via Bellerio has the political freedom to be able to characterize itself for the achievement of certain objectives. A sort of change of pace, therefore.

Infrastructure and security

On investments, on the realization of the works, on measures such as the Six also extended to the North. But above all on safety. In the meeting we openly talked about the possibility of a Salvini’s return to the Interior Ministrynot for the future, but at this end of the legislature. On this front, no praise is spared for the undersecretary Nicola Molteni. Giancarlo Giorgetti reflects on how the work of a good minister like Matteo Piantedosi can transform into consensus (“Sometimes I struggle to understand his interventions in the Council of Ministers”, is the phrase attributed to the Minister of Economy).

Vannacci incompatible with the values ​​of the League

In short, the reasoning is that the challenge to the center-left and to Vannacciconsidered incompatible with the values ​​of the League, moves forward on concrete things. With pragmatism. “We are not in the opposition – reasons a ‘big’ member of the League –, our voters will vote for us if we continue to do things”.
