Council of Europe, Salvini asks to remove Ecri’s resources. And on this level, Albania returns to attack the magistrates: “Let them be impartial, in the country those who work to build, and those who work to destroy”

The unique opportunity given by the running of a candidate chosen in the “home” as Marco Buccithe hope of being able to reverse the declining trend in consensus at the pace of the electoral race, perhaps also the shaky moods of “a complicated week” which – it is admitted among party leaders and militants – began with the flop demonstration in front of the Palermo court during the trial on the Open Arms case, last Saturday, and continued with allied stomach aches over Salvini’s latest outbursts on the subject of relations with the judiciary, security and more.

Today, few people were clear about the real reason that led the League to make its maximum bet on Genoa and the Ligurian Regionals. The deputy prime minister was there to launch presidential candidate Bucci’s race at the Bristol in Via XX Settembre in the afternoon. Matteo Salvinihis Genoese deputy Edoardo Rixi and all the Northern League ministers of the government: Giancarlo Giorgetti, Roberto Calderoli, Giuseppe Valditara, Alessandra Locatelli.

An investment that has never been so muscular, for a local electoral race, and at the same time everything to be interpreted. Which to some seemed like an attempt to “steal” the scene by anticipating the celebration of the two years of government activity in Giorgia Meloniwhich he announced will celebrate them at the end of the Genoese campaign on Friday afternoon. For others (beyond the need for a strong candidate but not yet certain of victory, on the contrary) a way to sidestep after the coalition bellyaches of the last few days.

Beyond the missed press points and the many Ligurian issues on the table, from the announcement of the signature for the establishment of the experimental technological high school in Valpolcevera (the valley of the collapse of the Morandi bridge) by the minister Valditara to the same relaunches of the presidential candidate, who took the opportunity of the presence of the father of the autonomy reform Calderoli to «dream» of Liguria as an «autonomous region like Friuli, to have the possibility of playing on equal terms on the entire Mediterranean chessboard», – his words – After all, it was Salvini who spoke for everyone. Which, rather than carrying out a local electoral campaign, sent precise messages to Rome as well as to Europe.

«There is a part of the country that runs and looks forward and one that pulls the handbrake and would like to take us back – attacked the deputy prime minister after the tensions over the Albania plan – There is no clash between institutional powers and the judiciary, those who work don’t have time to argue, but those who judge people’s freedom must be impartial and in the name of the people I ask that the 9 thousand magistrates be impartial too.” «I say this in Liguria, where people vote in advance not for political reasons», is the only reference to the fall of the former governor Giovanni Toti, «on the day in which a commission linked to the Council of Europe calls us racists, and I reply that I would give the 48 million with which Italy contributes to Ecri to the emergency rooms of our country. Regular immigration is a positive factor, but immigration in small boats and tent cities is not.”
