Ukraine decree, confidence in the Chamber amid tensions in the League and the Vannacciani

No “escapes”. But only the intention to “clarify”. It is the reason that induced thegovernment a porre la question of trust alla Camera sul Ukrainian decree. And the owner himself explains it, putting his face to itDefensespeaking in the Chamber in response to the criticisms ofoppositionswho accuse the executive of wanting to hide fears about the stability of the government with confidencecentre-rightafter the farewell ofVannacci alla Legaand the exit of two Northern League members who joinedNational Future. But, above all, trust serves to avoid the risk – this is the belief of the centre-left – that the League will split in the vote onamendmentsgiving life to an unprecedented common line betweenvannaccians, 5 Star MovementAvs and maybe some of the most extremist Northern League supporters on the scenestop providing military aid to Kiev.

None of this, he saysCrosetto. “Putting trust is not a way to escape.” On the contrary, the minister underlines, thetrust“obliges all representatives of themajorityto say whether they continue to support the government on such an important issue. And it separates and clarifies people’s positions.” In short, Crosetto claims, “it is a serious act ofpolitical positioningof the majority and the seriousness of this act is physically represented by my presence”. Therefore, no conspiracy – is the line – behind the trust there is no desire “to escape from ainternal crisisbut if anything to highlight it even more”. Words which, depending on the various interlocutors in the Chamber, are interpreted differently. For the executive, in fact, it is a way of forcing thevannacciansto take sides: either inside or outside. Even more so since, they say in the centre-right, it seems to have been the one pushing in this direction in the first placeSalvini. For the opposition, however, resorting to trust was the only way to avoid itinternal divisionsand possible incidents in the Chamber (such as cross-party majorities on amendments). The fact is that for now the people of Vannaccia do not dissolve the reservation, but neither do they close the door, keeping in mind that theirplacement è nel centre-right. “I don’t think Vannacci ever expressed itoppositionto the recognition of wanting to work with the centre-right. We note some choices of the centre-right, such as the question of trust, which demonstrate nervousness towards the political proposal thatNational Futurebrought it to the attention of Parliament”, explains the former FdIEmanuele Pozzolo.

The Vannacciani attack on Salvini

As for how to vote on confidence, ivannacciansfor now they gloss over: “We’ll think about it in the next few hours.” Meanwhile, the followers of the former general are targeting theNorthern League leader. The attack in the Chamber aSalvinimade by the former party colleagueEdoardo Ziellois clear: “It is increasingly evident thatdifficulties of Minister Salviniwhich is increasingly crushed in the grip of its forcescontradictions“, begins the Vannacciano in the Chamber, immediately after the approval byCrosetto. “La Legahe asked for trust, he thought he was escaping from the trap of his own contradictions but he didn’t think that by doing so he would walk into a terrible ambush. Thereconsistencyis to Salvini exactly like thepunctualityit’s up to the trains”. Even harderVannacciwhich, on social media, traces the “history” of the “inconsistency” of theNorthern League line a favore dello stop the weapons“starting in 2022”. “Today the League asks the government to place its trust in thedecree to send weapons to Ukraineto avoid revealing thevote of conscience(or the absences in the Chamber) of many Northern League members who have been following and believing in the party’s indications since 2022″. The MEP accompanies the post with a series of article titles in whichSalvinisays ‘no more weapons in Kiev’.

Possible voting choices and reactions

In case the choice were to fall on theno to trustit would be a vote against the measure and not against the government, those directly involved explained, recalling howVannaccihas never expressed “opposition to recognizing himself” in the context of thecentre-right. But it is not excludedpossibilitywho decide at the last minute not to participate in the vote so as not to put themselves outside the perimeter of themajorityeven if this choice, it is pointed out, would in a certain sense weaken the strong positionopposition to the measureshown so far. As for theLegain the Chamber the group should vote together. The only unknown isDomenico Furgiuelewhich, in recent days, has been as critical as Sasso and Ziello onUkrainian decree. The secretary offers a ‘different’ reading+Europe Magic: trust “seems like a trick to leave tovannacciansthe door open to enter the majority. In this way, in fact, the government offers parliamentarians toNational Futurethe possibility of voting against theUkrainian decreebut in favor oftrust in Meloni“, he says, referring to the fact that in the Chamber, unlike the Senate, there are two votes, one on confidence and one on the measure.government e nella majoritythe line is to minimize: “I don’t think Vannacci is a problem of great importance. We have more important things to deal with”, he cuts shortAntonio Tajani. “Two people” who left the League to go to Misto “is not such a relevant political problem”, he observesCrosetto.
