'The unity of the center-right serves the country'. The fears of Meloni and the first thorns (ANSA)


Who knows if it will be remembered as "the meeting of Villa Certosa": for the first time Matteo Salvini, accompanied by his girlfriend Francesca Verdini, enters the Sardinian residence of Silvio Berlusconi. A meeting announced, for the birth of a new Confederation of the center-right (not a party with different acronyms as Berlusconi initially pushed), in force since September, from Rome to Brussels. An interview to convince the Knight that the unity of the center-right serves the country and serves to strongly support the Draghi government. A Confederation therefore that goes from Palazzo Madama to Montecitorio because the leader of the Carroccio aspires to no longer be "six center-right forces that look like a soccer team" but a "column for Draghi", up to the European Parliament where he imagines "a single group of 200 MEPs who clash with the socialists and the left ".

Operation of strengthening with respect to the adversaries, but also of support of individual parties. The new chess game for the Quirinale, in fact, is approaching and Berlusconi wants to be its director and perhaps not only. Above all, there are elections at the gates between administrative, regional Calabrian and supplementary Siena and Rome-Primavalle. And the policies are "only" in 2023.

Beyond the intentions and proclamations from Villa Certosa, however, the road is not all downhill. The first obstacle to overcome, the fact that the Confederation, at least for now, is born as an orphan of Giorgia Meloni, who has immediately remarked as Brothers of Italy has been in opposition since February by the Draghi Government. Unlike his two allies. Unimaginable, therefore, a common support activity, despite being "available for a weekly meeting of the center-right group leaders to strengthen the ideas of the coalition in government policies". In Brussels, Lega, Fi and FdI are even in three different camps. Without forgetting that the party in via della Scrofa is growing and winning consensus, inside and outside the classroom, gnawing numbers even from the two allies.

But on the table between Lega and FI there are also other issues that risk being indigestible in the coming days. Starting with foreign policy and the reception of refugees from Afghanistan.

"The only way is that of diplomacy and humanitarian aid", Berlusconi's position. More rigid Salvini, who would like "humanitarian corridors for collaborators, children, women and boys" pointing the finger at the "risk of terrorist and criminal infiltration" which "is high among men". And in these hours the question of vaccines has also arisen. Clear the position of the leader of the Northern League, absolutely "against the obligation", from Forza Italia instead a pro-obligation front is outlined. The first to promote it is the president of the Italian senators Anna Maria Bernini, who speaks of "the last taboo to be overcome", followed by the person responsible for relations with allies, Licia Ronzulli. "If then from this summit the news of the resignation of Undersecretary Durigon comes out - the deputy Elio Vito declares with a blow from the tail - it would also be a good thing for the unity and prospects of the center-right ".
