Meloni does not believe in Fedriga's crisis and marches towards the North with a series of no votes for the third mandate

I tear up, you tear up: in the end Giorgia Meloni has challenged the law on the third mandate of the province of Trento (led by the Northern League) to demonstrate that she is not intimidated by the government crisis created by Massimiliano Fedriga , the Northern League governor of Friuli Venezia Giulia affected by the appeal , since he too heads – like Trentino Maurizio Fugatti – a special statute body. The prime minister was supposed to meet Fedriga, with whom she has had a personal relationship for some time, today in Venice but – due to fever – she cancelled all her appointments scheduled until Thursday. When the governor will go to Rome for a political meeting. In the meantime, yesterday in the Council of Ministers a political event took place: the Northern League with Matteo Salvini voted against the challenge of the Trento law . A no that was recorded in the minutes in honor of the trampled autonomist myth, as explained by the Minister for Regional Affairs Roberto Calderoli.

In short , the Northern League delegation dug in its heels and tore up to give political cover to the battle of Fugatti and especially Fedriga (a nice detail: on the contrary, the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, who on paper is a technician from the Northern League area, voted yes). A very local affair that can be seen in the assault of the Brothers of Italy on the North: after having said no to Luca Zaia's fourth mandate in Veneto, now it's the turn of the other regions. A question of internal power relations. Even if Meloni's party is convinced that in the end everything will be resolved and that Fedriga will not bring down the government two and a half years before its time (technically, if he were to be distrusted, he could run again). Inside the Brothers of Italy they call it a "storm in a teacup". The shot in Sarajevo came from the cautious Luca Ciriani, Minister for Relations with Parliament, originally from Pordenone where his brother Alessandro was mayor before becoming a member of the European Parliament for the Fiamma. Ciriani criticized the region for the Pordenone hospital, whose inauguration works are going slowly, and, boom, here comes the crisis. With the Northern League councilors handing over their delegations to the president, also accompanied by Forza Italia which expresses the councilor for Health. However, yesterday in the Council of Ministers after Calderoli's negative opinion on the challenge of the Trento law (in the prospective case the Aosta Valley is also involved), Elisabetta Casellati for Forza Italia gave a favorable opinion. The last word was from the head of the FdI delegation, Francesco Lollobrigida, who responded to Calderoli by explaining that after the opinion of the Consulta there will be time to make a political decision of the majority in a unitary framework. Salvini announced his vote against, without avoiding overdoing it with vitriolic statements. An official defense of Fedriga or perhaps the awareness of an ineluctable fate.
