Left against the hard line for the violent

Schlein asks Meloni to appeal for unity and the prime minister replies: “Let the opposition vote with us for a united resolution.” And then the distinctions begin: Conte brings up random issues, the dems appeal to the Charter, Bonelli does his usual show

After the Turin riots the executive accelerates its pace. Yesterday the majority summit called by the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to define the final details of the security decree which should be approved this week. The deputy prime ministers attended the meeting Antonio Tajani And Matteo Salvinithe Ministers of the Interior Matteo Piantedosithe Minister of Defense Guido Crosetto and the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordiothe undersecretaries Alfredo Mantovano And Giovanbattista Fazzolariand the Chief of Police Vittorio Pisanithe general commander of the Carabinieri Salvatore Luongo and the general commander of the Guardia di Finanza Andrea De Gennaro.

Melons after the summit he also takes the opportunity to respond to the point raised by the Democratic secretary Elly Schlein who, condemning the events in Turin, did not fail to add a but: «The police are an asset of the State, not a partisan issue. This is why we are worried about the exploitation of these hours.” Schein he then said he had called the Prime Minister to appeal for unity. AND Melons he responds, going beyond simple words and making an appeal to the opposition for institutional collaboration. Translated: the majority group leaders have received a mandate to propose to the opposition leaders the presentation of a joint resolution on security which could be voted on as early as this week during the minister’s reports Plant yourself. In short, the government’s message is clear: we propose that you vote for a resolution that intervenes immediately to resolve the security problem and let’s see who supports it. It’s time to come out, according to the government.

From the opposition Schlein is silent, but the leader of the 5 Star Movement answers Giuseppe Conte: «Does the government really want to listen to our proposals now? Is he really willing to do things seriously and responsibly without taking advantage of a single episode for instrumental tactics? If yes, we are there and are available to verify it. We are ready to immediately share a resolution that commits the government to giving the answers that have not been available up to now”, explains the five-star leader, then listing a series of proposals that have little to do with the safety of the squares or of the agents who do their work, such as the “official prosecution for hateful crimes that create social alarm”. It is difficult to find a more vague expression than this. He speaks for the Democratic Party Piero De Luca which is already, as expected, starting to shake the Constitution. «If there are other rules to be put in place, let’s think together, but really together, considering that so far the government has approved various decrees, crimes and penalties which have proven to be inadequate. All with a single clarification that is decisive for us: to put in place what is needed for deterrence, prevention and repression, without however limiting or repressing constitutional rights such as the exercise of the expression of thought, of the free expression of one’s ideas, even if in disagreement with the government, when they are peaceful, correct and civil. Because this is a limit that must not be touched and must not be exceeded by our country. Woe betide anyone who restricts constitutional rights.”

The strategy has already been used and is always the same, with the usual complicity of Colle: if you don’t like a law, the issue of constitutionality and fundamental rights is brought up.

The reaction of the Avs leader, Angelo Bonelli it is broken down and can be defined as a denialist: «No one knows the unitary resolution. It has not been presented and therefore does not exist” and underlines: “we have made many proposals on security starting from the financial law to ask for an increase in police personnel, to increase and strengthen prevention in investigation systems. The point is that they must not use the issue of security as an element of political exploitation because all our proposals have been rejected.” In summary, Avs’ original proposal is to ask for more money for the police.

For the colleague Nicola Fratoianni the government’s proposal «is an empty box. However, the methods indicate, at the very least, some element of strangeness: it had not yet happened that a note from Palazzo Chigi told Parliament what to do. We will discuss with the other oppositions. But there is a briefing on the calendar, which does not require a resolution.” And then he also reiterates: “it’s difficult to comment on what doesn’t exist.” For Riccardo Magi+Europe, the Prime Minister’s request «seems like a way to get preventive approval for rules that the government has already announced. A security package whose contents we do not agree with”, he explained, highlighting that “if Melons wants to write that Plant yourself the management of public order has failed and if violence is condemned then that’s fine. Otherwise it seems like blackmail.”

In the meantime, the narrative on the left continues and still focuses on “exploitation”.
