Repatriation decree, given the green light by the Chamber

He assisted voluntary repatriations decreewith the definitive green light from Camera, becomes law. Between tensions in the Chamber and shows by the Vannaccia supporters, the government gives a favorable opinion on a single agenda of the opposition, precisely at the first signature of the deputies of National Future who, throughout the debate in the Chamber, pressed the executive and the center-right on the issues ‘dear’ to the government alliance, from the management of irregular immigration to security.

To the point of almost monopolizing the debate, with the “dirty dozen” (copyright Vannacci) intervening repeatedly and so it becomes ‘easy play’ for the opposition – in the silence of the FdI, Lega and FI deputies, who never speak in reply to their former coalition colleagues – to underline the “difficulty” of the centre-right: “How does it feel, after having spewed racist and fascist proclamations for years, to hear someone more racist and fascist than you? I think it’s a difficult psychological situation. It is difficult to be rational in the face of this vulgar propaganda, right? Riccardo Ricciardi.

Opposition criticism

For Avs “the subordination of the government to the Vannaccians is evident”, he underlines Filiberto Zarattitaking inspiration from the spat between the Northern League undersecretary of the Interior, Nicola Molteniand the Vannaccia supporters themselves on the agenda on which the government had initially given a favorable opinion but conditional on a reformulation.

Change of opinion of the government

Then, faced with pressure from FnV (“you don’t have the courage to move from words to deeds”, is the accusation), Molteni transforms the opinion into a favorable one, without conditions. But first he launches a ‘jab’: “The government does not take lessons on the subject of irregular immigration from those who yesterday were in the majority benches and today sit with the opposition”.

Relations in the center-right

The former Northern League player will take care of it Laura Ravetto to summarize, without mincing words, what the ‘conflictual’ relationship between the center-right and the Vannacciani will be from now on: “Teaching the right when it is necessary to be the right”.

The final vote

In the end the deputies of National future they vote in favor of the decree, however making it clear: “It does not correspond to our ideals but we are satisfied. We hope not to always have to settle but to be able to express a favorable vote with full satisfaction”.

Political tensions

Rossano Sassohowever, before the vote he does not give up on ‘prodding’ the majority: “If Futuro Nazionale was born and is growing it is because I don’t want to say that you have betrayed, but you have disappointed your voters and militants who had voted in 2022 for a centre-right government. We ask you for more courage”.

New parliamentary balances

Beyond the contents of the law, it is the debate in the Chamber that outlines the new ‘balances’ in the hemicycle, after the birth of the Vannacciani component and the transfer of some members of the majority to the ex-general’s party.

The strategy of the majority

Who, for their part, are careful not to fall into provocations: no replies, no back and forth. Not even in the final voting declarations: the ‘competitor’ remains the broad field, but there is no mention, not even veiled, of the Vannaccians.

FdI’s position

The immigration manager of FdI, Sara Kelanyfor example, claims the measures of the provision and the policies implemented by the government, and guarantees that “we will continue to move forward with firmness”, attacking only the opposition and their “business” on reception “which the Meloni government has put an end to”, while the centre-left “still bawls about the CPR”.
