The stop to the USA on Sigonella and the information in the Chamber, the double move by Giorgia Meloni

The announcement of desire to inform the ChambersApril 9, on government action. And the explanation regarding the stop the landing of a US bomber in Sigonella: “Italy acts in full compliance with current international agreements and the addresses expressed by the government to the Chambers”. It is a double ‘post-referendum’ move by the prime minister Giorgia Meloni. What made the noise was the executive’s decision to deny the proposal a few days ago military base in the United States.

A choice that is shared by the opposition which, however, asks the Prime Minister to report to the Chamber on this dossier as well. A choice that, according to what it communicates Chigi palaceit does not change the relationship between Roma e Washingtonthe relationships remain “solid and based on full and loyal collaboration“, they don’t register “criticality nor friction with international partners”. “A clear, coherent and already fully shared line with Parliament, without any modification. Each request is examined carefully, on a case-by-case basis”, it is remarked.

And again: “The government will continue to operate in accordance with the treaties in forcerespecting the will of the Government and Parliament, while guaranteeing international reliability and full protection ofnational interest“. In short, no embarrassment: with the Defense Minister Guido Crosetto communications are continuous, we act in total harmony. “The anomaly – observes at the same time a leading exponent of the Democratic Party – is how the news of the stop using Sigonellastrange to leak what happened in this way to send a message to public opinion…”, the thesis linked to the indiscretion relaunched this morning by the ‘Corriere’. In reality, even parliamentary sources from Brothers of Italy they underline how much they have traced Craxi did it in 1985 both to be read also in terms of internal politics. “A good part of the citizens who voted no to referendum on the reform of the judicial system – observes a party leader in via della Scrofa – he did it because he doesn’t agree with the actions of Trump e di Netanyahu. Italians think like this.”

In any case the premier even in the weeks preceding the referendum consultation he had remarked several times that Italy is not at war with Teheran. The signal of coldness, especially towards Israelhas arrived on several occasions. “We have no debts towards the American president – underlines another Fdi big man -, but this does not mean that we do not maintain astrong alliance with the United States“. L’‘balancing act’ of the prime minister who had already stated that he did not agree with and did not condemn the offensive against theIran it also transpires from the note in which Chigi palace confirms that “nothing will change” at the level of diplomacy. “Once again he does not distance himself” from Trumpis the lunge of the centre-left.

Phase two of the government and the new priorities

The premier today also set the date of ‘phase two of the executive. Il April 9th will put his face on the relaunchwith the aim of moving forward with speed and determination on priority to be indicated to Parliament. Starting from the theme energy (Tuesday in Cdm there should be the extension of the excise duty cut). They expect the State dates that will arrive Friday next, in preparation for economics and finance document which is presented annually by the government to the Chambers by April 10th. The eventuality is that the chief executive shows up at Palazzo Madama and Montecitorio with the completion of the teamor with a Minister of Tourism in the place of Santanchè and maybe with a Undersecretary of Justice after the step back of Delmastro.

Information to the Chambers and future scenarios

The decision to opt for theinformation and not for the communications (which would have foreseen a vote) is because there is no intention – as an Fdi ‘big’ explains – to give any political meaning, other than that of also responding to the request of theopposition. The Prime Minister’s decision to intervene in the Chamber was apparently taken in recent days. “There is no need – the ‘refrain’ – of any vote of confidence. The majority is solidthere is no crisis.”

L’information – observed the ministro Ciriani – it will be an opportunity to tell and illustrate what the government sui most important dossiers which concern thepublic opinion and that in our opinion they are not fantasies about early voting, reshuffles or other issues, which I believe are of little interest, and in any case are already behind us”. Meloni will therefore speak to the countryis the line. April – as explained yesterday Minister of Economy – will, therefore, be a decisive month for the executiveamong other things we will begin to understand whether Italy will leave the procedure for excessive deficit.

The consequences of the tension in the Middle Eastwith the possibility that the executive will continue, if the framework still needs to more get worse, sort of truth operation. Also in view of the next one budget laweven if the government has been denying the rumor of any potential for days early elections in October. The allies of Fdi they are waiting to understand what the Prime Minister will say in the Chamber Lega is busy organizing the demonstration on October 18th in which the Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán (if he were to win the elections) e Marine Le Pen.

Tests of dialogue, however, in Forza Italiain view of the meeting between Antonio Tajani e Marina Berlusconi that could be there Friday. The thesis that the Cavaliere’s eldest daughter wants to ‘dismantle the party’ is completely rejected by the secretary’s loyalists. “The aim is for an agreement,” it is reported. “Tajani will summarize“, he observes for example Raffaele Nevi. “Barelli can sleep peacefully“, cuts short the minister Paolo Zangrillo. In the internal debate above all the topic of congresses which are not expected to be held within the year.
