The votes on the motions of no confidence in ministers Daniela Santanchè and Matteo Salvini are expected in the Chamber between tomorrow and Thursday. The case of the deputy prime minister, who has long been asked by the opposition to clarify the League’s relations with the United Russia party, does not seem to worry the government. On the contrary. It might embarrass the 5 Star Movement given that the only point of contact between the Grillini and the League is the “alternative vision” on the war in Ukraine. While the affair of the Minister of Tourism, which ended up at the center of the investigation by the Milan Prosecutor’s Office into the Covid redundancy fund of the company Visibilia, agitates the majority quite a bit.
The leaders, from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to the two deputies Matteo Salvini and Antonio Tajani, say they are certain of the cohesion of the center-right and the declarations maintain a guaranteeist line, but it is no mystery that the Santanchè case is creating some stomach aches. The unspoken hope is that the minister will draw her own conclusions on whether or not to remain in office, especially in the event of a request for indictment by the Milan prosecutor’s office. Yesterday the Democratic Party, from her social media page, posted a photo of the minister announcing her resignation and then declaring that it was just an April Fool’s joke.
