Salvini surrounded: clash with Giorgetti, and the governors disavow him on the reopening

The grain was not enough Luca Morisi , Matteo Salvini is increasingly surrounded, even within his own party.

Tension rises both with Giorgetti, a strong man of the Draghi government, and with the governors of the North, who embrace the government's prudent line on new openings and capacities for sport and entertainment.

Salvini dismantles the enorsement of his deputy Giorgetti to Carlo Calenda, candidate for mayor and Rome, and reminds him that Enrico Michetti is the man chosen by the center-right for the Capitol. He, he remarks, “has the competence to start from the suburbs, and not from the salons of Calenda”.

On the capacities: “Let's open everything”, he says, “if the Green pass makes it safe and you can go to the stadium and the theater you can do it at full capacity”. But the governors agree with the government's line of a cautious reopening in stages. And once again, as on the adoption of the Green pass, they disavow the leader.

Salvini is under increasing pressure, the party increasingly in turmoil and difficult to keep together.

Clash with Giorgetti also on the premier, which the number two League player (renamed by some members of the Carroccio "Giancarlo Fini" for his unexpected releases) launched for the Quirinale. Which would mean early elections.

"Unlike others, I do not wear Draghi or Mattarella by the jacket. It is a lack of respect for them", Salvini cuts short. "In February we will talk about it".

Added to this is the Morisi case, with the former minister defending "the friend who made a mistake" and remarks. "Anyone who sells drugs sells death, but holding a political speech that has nothing to do with a person's life is a free attack on the League 5 days after the vote".
