Barbari o divisionFIFTH COLUMN
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.

I know how it will end

FIFTH COLUMN
Of Marcello Veneziani
I know how it will end. I know this because I know the story, I know people, I know the potentates, I know immigrants. I know them like you know them, from experience, precedents, realism and use of the world. Until yesterday the scene was as follows: I haven't heard an Italian that I didn't agree with Salvini, that he did not consider it absurd to incriminate an Interior Minister who is doing his duty, as well as his electoral mandate, to safeguard the nation's borders, as provided for by the Constitution, and protect Italians, reject illegal arrivals and reiterate that migrants do not land in Italy but in Europe. It is absurd that we have to remember Europe when it comes to paying debts or not breaking the bank. And instead we must forget about Europe when the migrants arrive because then, suddenly, we become a nation and we have to deal with it ourselves. Our sovereignty consists in the obligation to welcome them, even if everyone else doesn't want them. Until yesterday there wasn't a person I spoke to who wasn't of this idea in one way or another.
On the other hand, I haven't heard a news broadcast, and program, a commentator, a man of power or a newspaper that was not aligned against Italy, against the Italians, against Salvini and on the side of Europe that doesn't care about migrants, on the side of the judges who indict ministers in the name of the law, on the side of migrants who land illegally. A dry match, the united people on one side, compact power on the other. Almost no one in Salvini's company, the League is there but you can't see it, there is only him, there is the Meloni and then down the desert. The grillini, when they are not hanging on the Fig Tree, and therefore they lean to the left, they act like di Maio in order to float and stay where they are, and play at being superminister, he is ready to take it all back and dump the Ally on whom the Palace's media-judicial cannons are aimed, dai catto-bergogliosi to the scattered left.

"Sequestro di persona". The desire of the prosecutors to put Salvini on trial
by

The robes like Saviano. The Northern League member: go ahead and do Clash with Fico: «He wants to be the minister?»
Of Patricia Tagliaferri
The Agrigento Prosecutor's Office is evaluating whether to hypothesize the crime of kidnapping against unknown persons for the affair of 177 migrants held hostage by Diciotti in Catania.
But Salvini doesn't retreat an inch. On the contrary, counterattacks: «I'm here, I'm not unknown. My name is Matteo Salvini, I am Minister of the Interior and I am tired of seeing fake refugees in Italy. Landings have reduced by 32 thousand since I have been in the ministry, but it's not enough for me. The NGOs have understood that for sea taxi drivers it is no longer air. I have broad shoulders and I think I have the support of most Italians and legal immigrants. Investigate me, put me on trial".
Salvini speaks with a live Facebook broadcast, authorize i 29 children on board to go ashore, but the others don't, everyone inside, at least until Europe strikes a blow. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte also aligns himself, calls the EU into question, accusing it of having "abandoned Italy to itself" and asking for a "strong and clear response". There is now an open conflict on the Diciotti case. Not only between Matteo Salvini and Roberto Saviano, who continue to argue heavily via Twitter, but also within the majority itself. Because on the one hand the Minister of the Interior does not show any concession, the President of the Chamber Roberto Fico distances himself. «Migrants must be able to disembark», tweet, effectively marking a fracture with the government ally, who suggests he limit himself to being president of the Chamber: «I am the Minister of the Interior», he replies. But the heaviest attacks on the number one of the Interior Ministry come from the author of Gomorrah, who addresses him as "Minister of Mala Vita". «He swore an oath on the Constitution – writes Saviano – and if he violates it in a blatant way as he is doing with the Diciotti ship it is no longer politics but subversion".

Who from Rai hurts, of Rai perishes

Who from Rai hurts, of Rai perishes
Source: Marcello Veneziani
I don't know how the drama about the president of Rai will end, if Foa will remain at the helm anyway, perhaps as a senior advisor as happened in 2004 to Berlusconi's Alberoni or if Giampaolo Rossi takes over from him, competent in RAI and new media, in discontinuity with the previous Rai domination and in harmony with Foa's ideas. Maybe we'll figure it out today. But on a political level one thing can already be said: the final veto on a signature of Il Giornale as president of Rai is the worst conclusion of Berlusconi's parable. End up in resentment, burning Foa, align with the PD and the scattered left, separate from the League and the Brothers of Italy, only show the ability to cause failure, it is a miserable epilogue for Berlusconi. That decline that has been going on for years now, has reached a point of no return and breaking of B. with his people and his allies.
Nobody expected Forza Italia to align itself with the yellow-green government. That's right, and even useful, that Forza Italia maintains a critical line towards the economic choices of the Grillini, Di Maio's reforms, amateurism and underlying punitive pauperism, the grillosinistri type Fico or the half socks in power, genus Raggi. That opposition line responds to the nature of his voters, to the mandate received and to its economic and political line.
