He won the post of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni but the Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto, he never “considered this legislature in danger. But it is not a descent – he explains in an interview with ‘Repubblica’ – we are living in dramatic times, we will be faced with enormous internal and international problems that will weigh. The country will have to make courageous choices. Of course, all parties in the coalition are growing and that can only be positive. » Meloni’s first act of victory may be to bring back the prime ministership with an acceleration: “I don’t think Meloni intends to change his agenda. It seemed to me to have understood that at this stage we wanted to give priority to the reform of justice, because that of the Prime Minister needed to be considered and explained as best as possible, given that it was presented until now. as an attempt to distort the Constitution and, on the contrary, it does not take away a single ounce of democracy.” Renzi he did it and it did not go well: “The difference – the minister observes on this subject – is that he linked the legislature to the reform. In Meloni’s agenda, the prime ministership represents 2 percent of a complex political action that plays out on every front, from foreign policy to immigration to taxation. There are a thousand reforms and the post of Prime Minister is one of them. »

However, in recent months, government attacks against Mattarelle. The last of Salvini: “It doesn’t seem to me that the center-right or the government have a problem with Colle. I have not only a political but a personal relationship with the president. Extraordinary, I want to say. I always found support and understanding in him. He never skimped on advice or help to myself or Meloni. And then, of course, in the electoral campaign, there are people who like to raise their voices to shake up a bored electorate. » Return to justice: it is a priority: “I have total confidence in the minister Nordius and in his ability to imagine a judicial system that places the citizen at the center. When it comes to justice, the debate that the government must have is parliamentary and political, and certainly not with the judiciary. Which, I remind you, should in theory only apply the laws. But if it also absorbs executive or legislative power, it becomes something else.” Autonomy could, however, suffer from a slowdown: “I have not followed the provision and I do not know how central it is in the current evolution of Salvini’s system. As for the thrill of full power that the Prime Minister risks: “Everything, but not the thrill of full power. For the Prime Minister, it was crucial to understand whether after two years of very heavy physical and family commitment, and after ten years of crossing the desert, these sacrifices made sense. She now enjoys popular recognition for her work. And I can tell you, I know you well: if you had obtained 23 percent, today this government would perhaps no longer exist. concludes Crosetto.
