Salvini’s too long media exposure on NGOs and migrants is perhaps beginning to harm the Northern League leader. Who forgets the ancient proverb that to pull too much the rope breaks. I Graffi di Damato
Surprisingly, very surprised, especially in the aftermath of the assist given him personally by Luigi Di Maio with the interview with Corriere della Sera on the discovery of “a method” among them also in the field of immigration, complicated and certainly not resolved by the protagonism and exploitation of marine rescues managed by the ships of non-governmental organizations, Matteo Salvini has shown and launched signs of political, and perhaps even personal, weakness. WHAT SALVINI SAID IN TRIA AND TRENTA
Otherwise, the protest of the League’s vice president of the Council and Minister of the Interior cannot be interpreted, after the docking in Lampedusa also of the sailing ship Alex, also Italian, warned not to do so with the usual load of refugees rescued off the African coast, against his government colleagues who would have left him “alone”. And that would be, in particular, the grillina Minister of Defense Elisabetta Trenta and the Minister of Economy Giovanni Tria, on whom the ships of the Navy and those of the Guardia di Finanza respectively depend. “I do not command the Armed Forces”, Salvini complained with a further gaffe, having thus involved in the controversy even the President of the Republic, to whom Article 87 of the Constitution confers “the command of the Armed Forces”.THE REACTION OF MINISTER TRENTA
Minister Trenta, with whom it is not the first time that Salvini has clashed, reacted immediately, in turn contesting “all the times” in which the Interior Ministry has, or would have, refused the collaboration offered by the Navy , without however obviously putting himself under his orders. TENSIONS IN THE GOVERNMENT
The Minister of Economy Tria, with whom Salvini must deal to carry out his tax reduction project, has remained silent, at least until the time of writing. But we can also understand the disappointment for the invasion of family affairs carried out by the Minister of the Interior, dusting off with his statements the story of the participation of a son of his government colleague in the crews of marine rescue, and precisely or even on the ship just docked in Lampedusa after having refused the port offered by Malta and a lot of water supplies. Which would have been rejected in order – according to Salvini – to aggravate the hygienic conditions of the ship and to claim more the state of necessity and urgency of the docking. SALVINI’S ERROR
Another error frankly attributable to Salvini in the last twenty-four hours, despite – I repeat – Di Maio’s explicit support and even the polls that attribute him to approaching 40 percent of the votes, or perhaps precisely for this reason, and the contemptuous response and immediately provided to an appeal by the German Minister of the Interior Horst Seehofer. Who had asked him, also with reference to the common religious faith, to renounce the practice of closed ports – and then violated the same with the consent of the Italian judge on duty, as happened with the judicial order of Agrigento in favor of the “captain” Carola Rackete – but she had also recognized the need for Europe to finally take charge of a problem hitherto unloaded on the shoulders only of the coastal countries, and of Italy in particular.
The long, too long media exposure is perhaps beginning to harm the Northern League leader. Who forgets the ancient proverb that to pull too much the rope breaks.
