There are those who already bet that they will do it six months after the vote. And whoever really hopes for him, but he thinks he will never do it. It shakes the torpor of a day without votes in the room the intervention of Pier Silvio Berlusconi. Who promotes Giorgia Meloni “Young, who came from nothing” and who put on “the best government of Europe”, Stop the Ius Scholae race as a non -“priority”, Invite – to use an understatement – Forza Italia to open up to “new faces” and “does not exclude” a future in politics.
Of course not immediately, but that reference to the age of the father of his father Silvio is enough – “He was 58 years old, I am 56 ” – and a quick calculation of the next electoral deadline for policies to restart the catchphrase.
At a very narrow lap The only one to comment is Matteo Salviniwhich immediately captures the ball from China to bless the words of the AD of Mediaset and to define that on citizenship a “closed game”, which if anything will think “the left in thirty years if it will win”.
In sheds in Montecitorio there is no mention of anything else. And while reflecting, and jokes, on the reference to one of the blue colonels, Maurizio Gasparri, who is “very good, though ..”, the response of Antonio Tajani who, in fact, is the only one of the Azzurri to comment on Berlusconi’s words JR. “There is perfect harmony, I never said that Ius Italia is a priority,” explains the secretary of Fi, of whom Pier Silvio says that “if there was no one should invent it, but it does not mean that it cannot be done better”. Tajani “is very good, from the Church he is very good, Gasparri is very good,” the chief of Mediaset tells the presentation of the schedules. Except then add precisely that “new presences, new ideas, new work” are needed “.
A way to “stimulate” Tajani, ensures, to “introduce new appearances to the party” because “if you want to grow, you have to grow leaders”. A job, replies the Foreign Minister, who has already been doing for some time, with the “doors” of FI who are “always wide open”, to the many new arrivals that are recorded between the “parliamentarians and regional councils” files, but also with the youth movement, which has recently has its new leader in Simone Leoni. “We are happy,” Tajani goes to say, if Pier Silvio should opt for the commitment in politics on the front line (that some, in sheds and closed notebooks, estimate could lead to a doubling for FI, up to 20%), because “with the name it bears, if decide, when it decides, it will always be a positive fact”. All the others, Salvo Rita Dalla Chiesa who reiterates his “trust” in the Berlusconi family, remain silent.
The party line is “minimize”, but the effects of Pier Silvio’s words shake the parliamentary, behind the scenes. It is told of a certain nervousness by Tajani (who does not shine in public) and instead of the satisfied smiles of those who in recent months did not share some of his choices, by the strategy adopted for the Ius Scholae proposal to the “centralized” management of the party. Doubts, they tell various sources of the blue galaxy, would also have Gianni Letta, for decades right arm of Silvio Berlusconi, very listened to by the children, Pier Silvio but also Marina. That, according to his brother, nothing would have to do with the moves on citizenship. Pier Silvio called it “a snag”, but for the most critical blues towards the leader it is “a very heavy blow”.
And also for the oppositions, which do not fail to underline the “backward” on the rules to make the children of immigrants new Italian citizens. Tajani is even a “butler” for Matteo Renzi who, a bit of the words of the knight’s second son towards him (“is intelligent and good, but has lost electoral credibility and political weight”), he comes to announce his farewell to Mondadori, with whom he has so far published his books.
