There are harsh reactions against the Lega and Matteo Salvini after the decision of the ministers of the Carroccio not to vote on the new Covid decree. After a day of confrontation over the curfew schedule, the League decided to abstain in the Council of Ministers, with the new decree that was nevertheless approved. The center-left asks Salvini to choose which side to take, accusing him of campaigning despite being part of the Draghi government. The League leader explained: “We could not vote on a decree that continues to impose closures, curfews, limitations“Then he called for more courageous measures and announced that his party will vote on the next decree.
From the Nazarene the reaction is immediately strong: “The Democratic Party has always been for safe reopening and the path indicated by Draghi, gradual but careful to protect health and the economy, is the right one – let the dem know – Salvini’s choice is irresponsible and creates confusion in the country“The deputy secretary is also harshly criticizing the League’s attitude Peppe Provenzano: “A proof of the irresponsibility of the League in CDM – tweets – This wavering line puts Draghi and the entire government in trouble“. And then he points his finger:”Salvini has problems in the polls and competition for leadership with Meloni, he is playing a game of his own, but he does it on the skin of the Italians“. Echoes the parent company dem in the Senate Simona Malpezzi: “We support the Draghi government’s efforts to bring the country out of the health and economic emergency – writes on Twitter – Salvini and the Lega clearly say if they share this goal or if they are in the government just to campaign and confuse the Italians“.
The criticisms also come from Free and Equal, with the group leader in the Chamber, Federico Fornaro, who comments: “The decree on reopening approved by the CDM is nothing more than the transposition into norms of the decisions taken in full unity and concord by the control room“. Salvini has decided for days to”raise the bar of reopening and appeared more concerned about the competition in the polls with Meloni than the solidity of the government structure“. With this evening’s abstention”the League undermines the credibility of the government and Salvini, in fact, disavows his delegation of ministers“. All this, Fornaro concludes,”certainly does not benefit the Italians“.
