“Salvini or Meloni premier? Let's not joke ”, Berlusconi's sentence stirs the waters in the center-right
Tension also in Milan, where Meloni arrives late for the event for Luca Bernardo mayor and Salvini goes away by blowing up the meeting
A phrase from Silvio Berlusconi wreaks havoc in the center-right. Unkind words those said by the leader of Forza Italia in an interview with 'La Stampa': "Listen, let's be honest: but if Draghi goes to be president of the Republic, then who does he give the job of creating the new government? A Salvini? To Meloni? Come on, let's not joke ".
The denial from Arcore arrives on time, a phrase "misinterpreted", and Salvini's staff himself ensures that there are no problems, "the two spoke yesterday for good wishes and the relationship is excellent".
But that the Northern League leader did not like it suggests it in the evening, when at the RinascitaItalia school he makes it clear that the Cav could spare this sentence: "Giorgetti said it was misunderstood, Berlusconi said the same - he says -. grandmother used to say that if others don't understand, maybe it's you who explained yourself badly ".
THE PRESS CONFERENCE IN MILAN - A flight delay is also stirring things up, provoking the flop of the joint press conference and the photo with the three leaders - Salvini, Meloni and Tajani - united in Milan for Luca Bernardo mayor.
The Rome-Milan plane delays the leader of the Brothers of Italy, and Salvini leaves before the arrival of Meloni. Only a trivial logistical problem, assure those directly involved, "no controversy and zero tensions" reads a joint note. But in this climate, you never know.
And Enrico Letta plunges his finger into the wound: “I've never seen a scene like this. Salvini and Meloni did not even meet today, it is clear that they did not want to take the picture ”.
THE LEGHIST CONGRESS - In the meantime, on the whole internal front of the Carroccio, Salvini gets to work to better manage the internal life of the party, after frantic weeks between the quarrel with Giorgetti, the governors who disavow him and the Morisi case.
The leader announces the Congress for April and puts his hands on the upcoming administrative offices, hinting that they will not undermine his secretariat: “I will be satisfied - he explains - if on Monday I have more mayors than before: there are 1200 municipalities going to the vote. It is clear that there are 5 capitals all in the hands of the Democratic Party and the 5S, so it is difficult to do worse ”.
"I'm not afraid for my leadership," he remarked in the evening.
