“Salvini is right when he talks about a political act”, Carlo Nordio declared it, in an interview with QN in which he defines the protagonism of those who investigate as "dangerous".. This is how the former deputy prosecutor of Venice commented on the seizure from 49 million euros ordered by the Court of Genoa on the assets of the Northern League after the conviction of Umberto Bossi and the former treasurer Francesco Belsito for electoral reimbursements.
“We need to be careful with measures of this type – he explained – which affect the development of the political dialectic. They should only be adopted if strictly necessary: I don't think they were. Thus there is a risk of altering the democratic game. In this sense, Salvini is right when he talks about a political act". More generally he then stated that "politics must regain confidence in itself if it wants to re-establish primacy over judicial action, otherwise it will remain subordinate to the judiciary, as it happens since 1993, that is, since Mani Pulite broke out”.
Salvini's statements – The seizure of 49 million euros to the League is "madness. Any erroneous use by the treasurer of the old management amounts to just over 300 thousand euros. Jurisprudence in hand, once definitively convicted he had to return those. Da 300mila a 48 million dances a lot...". This is what the secretary of the League had declared earlier that day. “We don't have a penny, We have not received any public funding for two years. If someone made a mistake, go and ask this someone and not us". The League did not become a civil party in the trial of the Court of Genoa against Umberto Bossi and Francesco Belsito which resulted in the seizure of 49 million euros “because we were counting on there being justice in Italy, we considered ourselves the injured party".

Matteo Salvini said he does not believe the latest SWG survey given by the League to 32 percent. The Interior Minister and Northern League leader is right to be cautious, knowing full well - like the other Northern League member Giancarlo Giorgetti – how volatile the consensus is in Italy. It remains an objective fact, However, than his government action (much more than that of his Grillini companions) gain the sympathy of the Italians. Why? Because this happens, although almost all the media do nothing but attack him? It is the frustration of the left that cannot understand the fact that voters simply do not understand that Salvini is "a barbarian", “a fascist”, “a racist”.
It's a misunderstanding that's not just Italian. Il 9 September we vote in Sweden, the country of “good” socialism, of statism from the cradle to the grave and where progressive parties have always governed. The latest polls tell us that even in those latitudes the right-wing party (populist, racist etc etc) is on the rise. The Social Democratic Party is al 23,3 percent, the xenophobic right-wing Sweden Democrats al 19,7. It is likely that everything will then be resolved with the formation of a centre-left government (the proportional system applies and alliances are made after the vote), ma, also in this case, the neutral observer cannot help but wonder what is the reason for the success of Jimmie Åkesson's "unpresentables".

The story runs. There are times when everything seems to stop, others where the movement seems to precede time and escape understanding. The last few weeks, in full August holidays, they produced a profound acceleration, left a significant mark, marked a before and an after. Little will be as before in the common opinion after the collapse of the Morandi Bridge in Genoa and the affair of the Diciotti ship of our Navy. The facts are known. In the first case, a bridge built by themselves 50 years, only means of communication between the two parts of Liguria, leaning towards France, breaks and leaves on the ground, after a scary flight, over forty victims, six hundred displaced people, since that motorway structure, managed by the private Benetton group, it rested directly above a working-class neighborhood of the city and threatens to deal a mortal blow to the economy of a region that thrives on tourism and transport logistics. In the second, an Italian ship cruising in the Mediterranean collected approx 180 Eritreans who, upon arrival in Catania, they were not disembarked for health reasons, public safety and to give a further signal of change in national politics in the face of the invasion of fake refugees coming from Africa with the help of private boats ( the so-called Non-Governmental Organizations) financed by those who organize human trafficking under the cover of humanitarian reasons. Following the events in Catania, the current Interior Minister is under investigation for kidnapping, abuse of office and illegal arrest. Marcello Veneziani titled one of his masterful speeches "defending Italians is a crime".
The largest opposition party, the PD cornerstone of the system from 25 years under different names, has mobilized its leaders in Catania in favor of foreigners, but he was conspicuous by his absence in Genoa in the face of the tragedy of a large Italian city which, incidentally, he has been debating for more than that 40 years, like PCI before, PDS, DS and PD then. The few representatives seen at the funeral were greeted by impressive salvos of boos, which left the poor girl in shock (so to speak) MP Pinotti, charming party lady in the city, former Minister of Defense, therefore directly responsible for years of the movements of the Navy in the waters of the southern Mediterranean. An observer of Professor Meluzzi's caliber, former politician, he thundered against the de facto alliance between media power (all on the side of the old system), the technological apparatus of domination (the world of the internet, of Facebook, Google, Silicon Valley) and financial oligarchies. He forgot, for Italy, the lump of judicial power that has kept politics in check for a quarter of a century, actively trying not only to influence general choices, but even to rewrite the history of the nation of the last 75 years.

But what a crisis for the League: Salvini's is a blitzkrieg (and his opponents don't know what to do)
Seizure of Northern League funds or not, Salvini will continue with his project to reorganize the League. Stealing votes and consensus from Forza Italia and Fratelli d'Italia. And with support (involuntary and not even very conscious) of the Five Star Movement. (by Flavia Perina, LAWS)

Of Marcello Veneziani
The day will come when green will separate from yellow, the League it will be the new right and the M5 location it will be the new left. A new bipolar system will be born from the present government majority. The times could be quick if in the autumn or even immediately the coalition splits on the sensitive issues we already know, that is, migrants, judges, pensions, citizen's income, nationalizations, while on others such as Europe and the aversion to the Caste of potentates seem to be quite homogeneous. But if they resist the autumn test, there will then be the test of Europe when the two parties will present themselves divided and will hoard votes, some in the center-right area and the others predominantly on the left..
This prophecy has been circulating under the surface for some time, e Bobo Maroni has recently relaunched it, seeing the League as the heir of the right and Forza Italia and the Grillini as the heirs of the left and the Democratic Party. Compared to the new right and the new left that those falling caryatids will make? They will change their name, face and leader to their retreating parties, they will cling to the past (Veltroni and Berlusconi), they will try to open bridges to the two main Subjects through their ambassadors (Toti and Zingaretti). And to complete the game we will then have to see what happens to Fratelli d'Italia and Liberi e Uguali, if they are inside, out on sharecropping, satellites or on the sidelines, compared to the two main poles.

Naturally, there are a series of pressures for the Five Star Movement to break with the League, most feared – at least today – by the heuristic elites, both for his tough positions on immigration and for his evident euroscepticism. After all, it was precisely the League that insisted that Paolo Savona go to the MES. And it's no coincidence that, head of the budget committees of the House and Senate, there are two exceptional Eurosceptics: Claudio Borghi and Alberto Bagnai. In short, this Government is the furthest thing that exists from the religious heurism that has governed us in the last twenty years (the worst of which is certainly the one suffered in the last part of the last Berlusconi legislature and in the previous legislature).
Precisely for this reason, many are rooting for the break between M5S and Lega, dreaming of a turnaround, with a reworked M5S that is more accommodating towards heuristic policies. The reasons - it is reiterated - are the attitude of total closure towards mass migratory flows from the African continent and Euroscepticism. Both put a spoke in the wheels of the project of wage deflation and the dissolution of nation states, in favor of the pro-European superstructure. So here they are waving the racist and nationalist scare, to try to induce public opinion to believe that the path taken by the current Government of confrontation with the European Union is the worst and most dangerous for the destinies of the Italian people.

Who knows what Silvio Berlusconi must have thought when he read Giancarlo Giorgetti's words. “Nationalize? I believe it is necessary to seriously discuss what we want to do with the real assets of the State”. The Northern League undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council. interviewed by Corriere della Sera, wants “open discussion on how this is done’ which is’ object of concession can return the greatest good to citizens”. On the possibility’ whether or not to nationalize Italian motorways, Giorgetti states that “at the moment talk about it and’ absolutely premature. In concreto, bisogna verificare l’esito della procedura di annullamento della concessione alla societa’ Highways. At that point you can’ decide with a few more indications. Or you can’ even do another race to see the conditions you can achieve”.
“There are no taboos’ – he adds – The Brenner motorway (A22) sara’ managed in house, in derogation from the European standard. The point e’ evaluate well, case by case. The whole state is not’ buono, but not even completely private. I believe it applies to every good of the State: the real assets of the State are not the properties we always talk about. They are the concessions: how much does the State get from the mineral water we buy a 2 euros per bottle? How much from underground methane or from television concessions? How much from the ether in which the mobile phone signal travels? I believe that the State must carry out periodic evaluations. And then, choose for the best”. “Of course – continues – now we have to think about expiring or expired concessions”. And on the fact that the League had also voted for the 'save Benetton' decree’ of the 2008, the undersecretary comments: “But I don't know… I just discovered today that I wasn't even present at the vote…”.

Cl did not invite Salvini but his right-hand man took the stage, forcing Vittadini into a long reply
The title of the event “it's wrong”, Giancarlo Giorgetti began. “Today the real enemy of democracy and politics is globalist ideology”. Towards the government “you have a perplexed attitude”. Shots at Berlusconi and the Democratic Party. “The League is rewarded because it has a leader who managed to create a direct connection with the people”.
He wasn't invited Matteo Salvini al Meeting. The leader of the League and Minister of the Interior does not like the CDO led by Vittadini and his battles sound out of tune in the ears of the leaders of the Cielle event, certainly not benevolent towards the yellow-green government. The big figure of the League invited to the fair's halls today was the undersecretary of the Prime Minister's Office, Giancarlo Giorgetti, whose intervention had been placed in the "enclosure" ofintergroup for subsidiarity. But Giorgetti, albeit in calm tones, he immediately came out of the enclosure and sang and played them to Vittadini too. Expressing all the impact force of the "Salvini thought".
“I would start from the title of the Meeting”, he began. “The forces that move history are the same that make man happy”. Sly smile. “I want to make a provocation. In my opinion the title is wrong“. A few seconds of silence. “There is a quote by Dostoevsky that I really like: if you make people choose between freedom and happiness, people will always choose happiness. If you allow me, the title should be 'the forces that move history are the same that make man free and happy‘. Otherwise to those who accuse me of populism (he continued, turning his gaze towards Vittadini) I say be careful, Why if we want to make the people happy the quickest way is that of populism“.

Wall Street Journal: «Italy is a danger for the euro». Salvini: «The strong powers want to crush us»Of Paola Di Caro
The first was Giancarlo Giorgetti about ten days ago: «I expect the attack, the markets are populated by hungry hedge funds who choose their prey and act". Parole, those of the Northern League undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council, that had shaken the political scene, and which were immediately collected by other government officials. Like Luigi Di Maio, who immediately said he was ready to react if the much-feared storm on the markets were to arrive: «If someone wants to use the markets against the government, know that we are not blackmailable. There is no Berlusconi at Palazzo Chigi who gave up for his companies".
Il 19 Matteo Salvini took up the theme of a possible assault on the government and the "Italian experiment" by international "strong powers" in August, with a stark warning: «They will try to crush us, but we will not retreat an inch. Almost as if to open a preventive polemical front, also - perhaps - in reaction to an article in the Wall Street Journal according to which the end of the "long marathon" to save Greece will mark "the closure of the Eurozone crisis", if it weren't for "Italy and the nagging fear that the euro isn't so stable after all". A "danger", the Italian one, represented by the «market shocks relived last week on Italian debt and the new attacks against the European establishment by politicians in Rome», which could lead to a "destabilizing capital flight". The financial newspaper explains that the decisive test will be in the autumn, when "the Italian populist government will have to present the budget law and explain how it will cover its expensive promises to voters".
