The pressing on a step back of Minister Santanchè rises

The decision of the Court of Cassation to leave the Visibilia competence to the Milan Prosecutor’s Office that sees Daniela Santanchè accused of scam the INPS in relation to the layoffs in the Covid period, makes the pressing in the party on the opportunity of a step again rise back of the minister. Change something? “It is an element of evaluation”, underlines Ignazio La Russa. “I believe that Daniela, when he said he would have assessed, may be that he now also evaluates on this. It is certainly an element of evaluation,” he recognizes the president of the Senate, which has always been linked to the Governmentonstor.

On February 10, the distrust motion presented by the 5 Star Movement will be discussed in the classroom. It will be clearly vote and this will not be the decisive passage on the matter, because it would eventually be rejected by the majority. Moreover, even the second charge of the state observes that “the motions of no confidence strengthen the disheartened when they are individual”.

But it is not excluded – explains more than an FDI manager – that this may be the Dead -line to think about any resignation. In short, under trace, more than a ‘big’ in via della Scrofa recommends the direct interested in not waiting for that date. Not that the group is oriented to act as a bank to the pentastellati, but – for example an exponent of the executive – “the step back would protect her, not only the government, and Fdi … if she gave up, the judges would also give up” .

Santanchè, in reality, has always supported (and continues to support) that if the request for resignation from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni should arrive, she would be aside. “It is only the Prime Minister who can decide”, the words of Santanchè. Many appointments on the agenda, starting from the Tourism Fair in Milan. Also thanks to the dossier on the Almasri case and the clash open with the judiciary, in Fratelli d’Italia it is believed that the Santanchè affair will take some time.

“But the circle tightens,” he observes more than a parliamentarian. The orientation would therefore be to avoid an acceleration of the situation at this stage but the case is certainly not closed, even if the minister – has always explained that it would only have resigned in the event of a indictment for the INPS case – It would be willing to move forward, convinced that the guaranteed logic must prevail.

Thus, however, “he risks not being more sustainable, if a tomorrow a simple drop in Fdi polls should also be manifested, the responsibility would be leaning against her”, the refrain of those who believe that, beyond the theme of the presumption of ‘Innocence, Santanchè must opt ​​for a step back immediately. Not that the judgment is unanimous in Fdi, others believe that precisely because there is no condemnation for now, also to avoid sagging in the face of the judges, the resignation at this moment “would be a serious mistake”.

Santanchè was invited to the National Directorate of Fratelli d’Italia who will take place on Saturday in Rome and, according to ‘rumors’ in the party, could also intervene. Defending his work as minister and his innocence from the processes. Two points to the order of the meeting will be held next Saturday and in which 115 delegates will participate: relaunching policies for the South, aiming to grow the consent of the party in the South, also in view of the next administrative rounds, in the aftermath of the change of minister of PNRR and cohesion for the South that had caused some fibrillation in the party (Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni decided to keep the delegation for himself).

And relaunch the issue of the safety of the police, after the debate on the possibility of providing agents with a legal ‘shield’. There will be ministers and components of the executive, in addition to parliamentarians. The presence of Arianna Meloni, head of the political secretariat and head of the membership of brothers of Italy while in perhaps perhaps in perhaps the presence of the premier who could leave the leaders the discussion of the themes (on the table, among other things, also the reform of justice) and reflection on the results of the government. Meanwhile, La Russa’s words are interpreted by the oppositions as an explicit request for resignation: “By now Santanchè has been unloaded even by Ignazio La Russa. Who explicitly asks her to evaluate the possibility of resignation”, underlines the deputy of the Democratic Party, Arturo Scotto.

“The obstinacy of the Tourism Minister appears objectively incredible. We have never gone behind the judicial implications of the Visibilia case, we have always asked for a year and a half a basic political question: it can an institutional personality, as well as an entrepreneur, to use the funds of the Covid Cassa for their employees and continue to make them work for their company? “, Scotto concludes.
