On Milan, the center-right splits

In Milan there are still 5 days for the comeback, but in the centre-right it is all against all.
The hypothesis of ministries in the North triggers the brawl. Bossi: Berlusconi promised it. Alemanno: We don't talk about it. Pisapia to his: turn the other cheek.

On Milan, the center-right splits

Five more days of electoral campaign in front of Letizia Moratti to try to come back and beat Giuliano Pisapia in the ballot for the mayor of Milan. But the undertaking is made particularly difficult by the very tough clash taking place within the centre-right. Let's go in order: the League had announced a secret weapon of Bossi and Berlusconi to overturn the result. Which? Transfer some ministries to Milan, and, given that there is also voting there, a ministry to Naples as well. The reaction of a large part of the Pdl was very harsh. Alemanno and Polverini say that in this way everything is blown up, Gasparri and Cicchitto hold back and say that things are not like this; from the North, Governor Formigoni adds that the ministries are not a priority. At this point Bossi arises and recalls how Berlusconi promised him and adds: "He is the one who commands the PDL". Then, seeing that he is there, he sends a raspberry to Formigoni. It's really a free-for-all. Berlusconi tries to put a patch on it and lets it be known that some departments could be transferred to the North. Then he adds that, whatever the final result in Milan, the government will go ahead, a sign of caution and concern, after the secret weapon seems to have failed. Now the Center-Right has to hurry and decide the moves to make in these final rounds which are still missing from the final gong. To reverse the result, the KO blow would be needed. But so far we have mostly seen empty shots. The Prime Minister's invasion of TVs has caused more controversy (and perhaps even sanctions) than ratings to be transformed into votes. Nor do other hypotheses put forward by Berlusconi's advisers seem convincing, such as that of placing a couple of Moratti's "tutors" alongside the addition of two big names in the Milanese PDL such as La Russa and Lupi or that of a more or less general amnesty for municipal fines , which looks like an attempt to tame the match at the last minute. Today Berlusconi (despite being Monday) will not go to court, but from Arcore he will try to implement a new strategy. Meanwhile, after visiting a PDL militant in hospital, the victim of clashes with supporters of Pisapia, he continued to accuse the left and his mayoral candidate of having created a climate of civil war in Milan. Pisapia replies by denying any responsibility of his supporters, whom he invites, however, to turn the other cheek in a Christian way, even to any provocateurs. The electoral campaign in Naples is also very bitter, where, however, it is the two candidates, Lettieri and de Magistris, now in the third face-to-face, who are blaming themselves in all colours. Bringing up rubbish, but not the transfer of ministries.
