Center-right, Lega vs Fratelli d’Italia: the real test will be the electoral law
No way. No peace between the Lega and the Brothers of Italy after the tear on the election of the President of the Republic. To divide Matteo Salvini by Giorgia Meloniwho have not yet heard after the Quirinale match, was the vote today for the renewal of the Presidency of the Piedmont Region, where the Center-right is the majority. Stefano Allasia, exponent of the Northern League, was confirmed as president of the Regional Council. Allasia got 29 votes. There were also 16 blank cards. Brothers of Italy, as announced by the group leader Paolo Bongioanni, did not participate in the vote.
They were elected vice presidents of the Regional Council the directors Franco Graglia and Daniele Valle who received the highest number of votes. Councilor Graglia received 29 votes, Valle 16. Graglia is a member of Forza Italia and has been reconfirmed. The second, representing minorities, is a member of the Democratic Party and takes the place of Mauro Salizzoni, which received one vote in this vote. The political sense of what happened is the exclusion of Brothers of Italy, a party that in Piedmont is in the majority, from all the offices of the Presidency Office. A clash that has reached Rome and which only increases the tension between the League and FdI.
Melons he insists on the usual line: “Even with the proportional one I will ask that there be a declaration by the parties in which they say who to ally with: we need an anti-mess pact signed this time. Politics is not arithmetic, the container does not count. Ideas are needed. If the poles are strong, a mobile center is not needed to strengthen them. I believe and work for bipolarism “.
The remote answer of Salvini she was not long in coming: “In the center-right there is someone who has betrayed, now let’s look beyond who is there. If someone wants to win, or more likely to lose, they are free to do so on their own, we have a duty to speak to the people “that, if we are divided, when it comes to voting” is at home “.
Apart from the statements, it is unlikely that the referendum on the Justice promoted by League And Radicals which should be held in the spring (see premise) could be the occasion for a rapprochement. First because FdI supports only 4 out of 6 and second because, as sources from the Brothers of Italy explain, “we will certainly not rush the League on referendums”.
The real test will be the electoral law. Discounted the dry no of Melonswhile Salvini until before the dispute over Quirinale he had always defended the majority system but, as is well known, then the coalition “melted like snow in the sun” (words of the Northern League secretary) and now, especially in the Democratic Party, they hope that the Northern League will converge on the proportional reform. The fact is that at the moment, also in light of today’s clash in Piedmont, there are no signs of peace between the Lega and the Brothers of Italy.
