This time rags fly in the League. And so Umberto Bossi doesn't hesitate to comment: “Maroni doesn't like Reguzzoni, parent company? Worse for him. It is the base that controls the League, not Maroni”. Words that weigh like stones and that give an idea of what the Carroccio is after the vote for administrative and refrendum and after Pontida.
Already because there on the sacred lawn, the base had acclaimed Maroni as Prime Minister, almost obscuring Bossi's speech. So the boss, once back in Rome, reacted. And he forced the group of deputies to confirm (without a vote) the outgoing group leader Reguzzoni. It matters little that as many as 49 of the 59 Northern League deputies had spoken out, with an internal document, for the Maronian candidate Giacomo Stucchi. In short, in the Carroccio the contrast between the so-called Bossian magic circle (Renzo Bossi, Rosy Mauro, Bricolo, Reguzzoni), the group closest to Berlusconi, and the Maronians (Giorgetti, Tosi, Zaia) is increasingly palpable. del Carroccio to the needs of the Prime Minister.
For now it is Maroni himself who does not dramatize too much, stating before the very harsh tones of the boss that "in the League there are no internal struggles, but only a difference of opinion". Confirming the fact that this time Pontida served more to fuel a rough internal confrontation than to send messages to the country. Meanwhile, impatience with the P4 investigation is growing within the PDL and talk of an anti-wiretapping law is back. Maybe not necessarily a decree, which would need the signature of the head of state.
It is Alfano, not yet secretary of the PDL, but still Minister of Justice who affirms that "interceptions are useless and costly". The reply from the head of the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office is ready, who replies: "Pm and investigating magistrate decide on the usefulness of wiretaps". Finally, it was the turn of the President of the Republic, Giorgio Napolitano, to intervene to ask for government intervention to deal with the waste emergency in Naples, which has never been as serious as it is in these hours.
