Now Salvini can win the politics
by

by Paolo Becchi and Giuseppe Palma on Libero, 12/02/2019
The affirmation of the League in Abruzzo as the first party of the center-right coalition was taken for granted, but alone Paolo Becchi, in the columns of this newspaper, he had understood that the League alone would become the first party in the Region overcoming the Movement 5 place. The political value of these regionals is therefore national.
The simple consecration of Salvini as the undisputed leader of the center-right coalition is not relevant. The salient fact is another: if in Abruzzo the League alone comes close to 30%, at a national level it cannot fail to have at least the 38-40%. That threshold that thanks to the mechanisms of the electoral law, the Rosatellum, allows you to win political elections.
And here very concrete scenarios open up. Berlusconi if ​​he doesn't reach a friendly land like Abruzzo, as it seems, the two digits and stops under the 10% he is destined to become extinct with his party or in any case becomes irrelevant for Salvini's new political project. Berlusconi can't even say that he made one of his candidates win in Abruzzo, because the winning President is from the Brothers of Italy. Forza Italia, apart from Liguria with a Toti who is also very close to the League, it no longer controls any Region. Everything has also changed compared to the regional elections in Molise and Friuli ten months ago, where Forza Italia overtook the League at least in the South, which now gets even more votes than Berlusconi once got.

If Salvini wins in Abruzzo no one will stop him anymore
by

by Paolo Becchi on Libero, 07/01/2019

Voting is on Sunday in Abruzzo. A Region with almost one and a half million inhabitants, central from a geographical point of view but economically very linked to southern Italy. Voting in this Region is the first real electoral test after the political elections. And this explains why Centre-right, Center-left and the Five Star Movement give so much weight to these elections.
What is really at stake? What in particular drives Matteo Salvini to go to this Region seven times and now, already present in the area, to stop there until one day before the vote? What drives Berlusconi to also come to the Region to participate (today in Pescara) at an event and with Salvini and Meloni and take a photo together?
Let's start with this last question which is the simplest. It's obvious, Berlusconi wants to give the impression that nothing has changed, that the Center-Right is always the same as it used to be and that it wins when it is united. Parole. In reality, Berlusconi moved because if Forza Italia ends up below the threshold in these regional elections 10% this means that the process of exhaustion of his party is now irreversible. The polls tell him that he could even touch that threshold and that is why Berlusconi decided to participate in the closing of the electoral campaign. But this will eventually be just a small sign of life for his party. Salvini can aspire to take the League beyond 25% of consensus and therefore the comparison with Berlusconi no longer exists. Berlusconi is just trying to save face. Read More

Battisti's arrest: Salvini and Bonafede under investigation
by

 
Il 14 last January on a flight from Santa Cruz, in Bolivia, landed in the Roman airport of Ciampino, After 40 years of escape, the former terrorist Cesare Battisti. Waiting for him on the track were the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini in the police uniform and the Minister of Justice Alfonso Bonfede. Subsequently, a video was published, posted by the Keeper of the Seals on Facebook, which showed the salient moments of the taking over of Battisti by the Penitentiary Police complete with background music. To the hornet's nest of controversies that followed, today we add news that both Minister Salvini and Minister Bonafede have been aware of for at least a week, namely that due to their behavior, following a complaint, a case was opened at the Rome Prosecutor's Office, who decided to apply for dismissal by filing it with the Court of Ministers, which could as we know, even reject it. According to the Rome Prosecutor's Office, Bonafede is in collaboration with Salvini, would have violated the law for the failure to adopt appropriate precautions aimed at protecting people under arrest from public curiosity and any kind of publicity. What got the Minister of Justice into trouble was precisely this video in which Battisti was shown in the passage and delivery between the various law enforcement agencies. However, for the Roman magistrates the fact does not constitute a crime because there would be no intent and no financial advantage. Now the ball passes to the Court of Ministers.

Norway, Christians enter the government: "Ora priorità ai temi etici"
by
norvegia_temietici_vita
They ended on 17 last January the negotiations that led to the new governing coalition took place in Norway, the first with a non-socialist majority since 1985. The coalition headed by Prime Minister Erna Solberg is made up of the three parties already present in the previous government, the conservative Høyre party (H), il conservatore-liberale Progress Party (Frp), the social-liberal party Venstre (V) and by the Christian People's Party (KrF), recently joined it.
The new government presented the Granavolden Declaration to Norwegian citizens, from the name of the hotel where it was drawn up and presented, that is, a common document containing the government program, the result of complex and tension-filled negotiations, in particular on immigration issues, climate and abortion.
Precisely on this last topic, fundamental for the Popular Christian Party (KrF) which has the inviolability of human dignity at the center of its politics, Prime Minister Solberg had opened up the possibility of changing the legislation on abortion. The demands of the Christian Popular Party, posed as a condition for entry into the government coalition, there were two: the cancellation of paragraph 2c of the abortion law which allows selective abortion beyond the twelfth week and the ban on embryoreduction.

The Senate denies authorization to proceed
by
 

“After thinking for a long time, I believe that authorization to proceed should be denied”. Matteo Salvini's version of the case Eighteen is entrusted to one letter to the Corriere della Sera. Salvini talks about numbers, of the government's goals. Talk about the decrease in landings, of deaths at sea, of repatriations and the decline of “immigrants in reception”. All numbers that certify his work as Minister of the Interior. The premise is obligatory as Salvini's defense follows precisely this thread. He appeals “to the article 9 third paragraph, of the constitutional law n 1/1989” when he asks that the Senate deny the magistrates authorization to proceed, as the minister acted for “the protection of a constitutional state interest”. The complaint of the Sicilian magistrates is that of “aggravated kidnapping”. Nothing personal.

It has nothing to do with me. First of all, the fight against illegal immigration corresponds to a pre-eminent public interest, placed at the foundation of precise provisions(…) Secondly, there are specific political considerations.

The justification is that the government itself acted to verify how it could be distributed “immigrants on board the Diciotti ship”, therefore in accordance with the article 79 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the Union and in line with the conclusions of the European Council of 28 June 2018. The defense is therefore focused on the duties of Minister of the Interior, work resulting from the promises made during the electoral campaign. The gist is clear. The Senate denies authorization to magistrates, also because Salvini doesn't regret anything.

“I don't deny anything and I don't run away from my responsibilities as a minister. I am convinced that I have always acted in the best interests of the country and in full compliance with my mandate. I would do it all again. And I don't give up”.

Discredit
by

DiscreditOf Andrea Zhok
Source: Appeal to the People
Sometimes, in the face of the dismay of pro-European friends at the 'institutional crudeness' of the 'populists' (not only in Italy), I wonder what they expected. For years and years we have been going forward in Europe with one (self-styled) 'technocratic vanguard', removed from any public debate and any democratic control, who used their connections among cosmopolitan elites to publicize the Great European Project in individual countries as a project of common wealth and brotherhood. “Trust me”. Then, at the first serious difficulty, we saw everyone racing to save their assets (for example the bailout of French and German banks at the expense of Greece), a unleashing of asymmetric rules evaluated arbitrarily (state aid, trade surpluses, infringement procedures, ecc.), a pursuit of blaming the neighbor in complete ignorance of the realities of others, an explosion of blackmail, conditionality, threats, and all combined with an impoverishment of large sections of the population.

Salvini, it is a political process, Parliament must give a political response
by

by Paolo Becchi and Giuseppe Palma on Libero, 25/01/2019

It never happens, but if your name is Matteo Salvini it can happen. Every time the Public Prosecutor's Office (the investigating judiciary) requests the dismissal of the case against the suspect, almost always the Court (the judging judiciary) arranges archiving. It is rare for a Court to do its own thing. But if Salvini is involved, which among other things has emptied the trough for many who profit from immigration, then the judiciary feels "duty" to try him. Let's see what can happen now.
The Court of Ministers, competent for ministerial crimes (that is, committed by members of the government in the exercise of their functions), judges only in the preliminary investigation phase (the current ones). After that, once the decision has been made to carry out the trial, the documents from the Court of Ministers pass to the presidency of the chamber to which the minister under investigation belongs, in Salvini's case the Senate. At that point the Committee for authorizations to proceed, made a decision, he will then have to send it to the room for the final vote, which must arrive within two months. If the Senate rejects the request by an absolute majority, the trial will not take place. Otherwise the minister will no longer be tried by the Court of Ministers but by the ordinary one, co- me if it were a common criminal. Read More

Forza Italia's Finian retaliation, today it's like Future and Freedom
by


Forza Italia at the end of the game is - in retaliation - a kind of Future and Freedom.
Well, Yes: it's like Fli, the party that - speaking while I was alive - belonged to Gianfranco Fini and which everyone liked because yesterday's Silvio Berlusconi was very displeased.
As in the past, so in the present.
Like Giorgio Napolitano, just to sabotage Donizetti's Berlusconi, accompanied every step of the post-fascist with glasses - he deluded him into taking it to Palazzo Chigi - so Sergio Mattarella, at the Quirinale, he takes a breather from talking to the head of Forza Italia rather than seeing the yellow-green barbarians around him.
Like yesterday Fini, remote controlled, spoke of "republican patriotism", so today Berlusconi - unrecognizable in his second running board - rambles on about "Western democracies" canceling the more subversive Silvio, the one that unleashed the anathemas of Angela Merkel and Nicholas Sarkozy.
Corsi, historical recurrences and turning points, it's worth saying. Read More
