In the end Berlusconi got some results in his face to face with Bossi on the Cosentino case. And so yesterday evening the head of the Carroccio, just as the Campania PDL coordinator was on his way to Palazzo Grazioli, carried out a partial but significant about-face. Thus he explained that the League's MPs will have freedom to vote and that they will have to think carefully before voting for the arrest of the MP, given that "there is nothing in the papers". Bossi was echoed by other Northern League representatives, on whom it was above all Maroni who pushed to vote yes to the arrest, bringing the general staff of the League to this unanimous position. A daring thesis, given that Bossi was also present at the meeting of the Northern League staff in via Bellerio, and with him the representatives of the magic circle. In short, the Cosentino case intersects with the tough power struggle within the league.
At this point, today's vote on the arrest proposal appears to have an uncertain outcome. The radicals elected in the Democratic Party will also vote against the arrest. But some PDL deputies, who have long been opposed to the methods used by the Campania PDL coordinator, may not join Berlusconi's pressure in favor of the Campania MP. Guido Compagna
