The confrontation between Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and the Secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, flares up again. But the governor of Campania Vincenzo De Luca bursts into the duel and, after taking to the streets of Rome, attacks the leader of the Brothers of Italy: “Go to work, bitch.” This time it is Differentiated Autonomy, the “emblematic” reform of the League and the center-right majority, opposed by the opposition and, in particular, the Democratic Party, which sets the dust on fire. The Democrats, with their secretary Elly Schlein, accuse them of wanting to divide the country: “We have never seen a patriot who divides Italy. Roberto Calderoli’s reform, voted for by Meloni’s party, is a reform destined to tear apart a country that desperately needs to be repaired for its fractures and inequalities,” says Schlein in an interview with Repubblica. According to Schlein and the Democratic Party, the two reforms, that of differentiated autonomy and that of the position of prime minister, “remain united, they are the result of an impious pact between the self-proclaimed patriots of the new millennium and the members of the Northern League who have never abandoned their secessionist aspiration. We” , continues the Democratic leader, “on the contrary, we believe that there can be no redemption of the country without redemption of the South.”
Meloni’s response comes precisely from a southern region: in Calabria, to sign the agreement for development and cohesion with the region, the Prime Minister responds: «To those who accuse me of dividing Italy, I would like to tell them that Italy was divided by those who believed there were citizens of series A and series B.” And, without naming the Democratic leader, he adds: “This morning I read an opposition leader who said that the patriots are abandoning and betraying the South. A great respect, because I was in the opposition for many years, but I think there are two ways to address the gap” between the North and the South: “There are the income of the citizens and the infrastructure of the citizens.” And citizen income, for Meloni, “was the response of those who considered these territories unrecoverable.”
Shortly after, however, Meloni also questions Vincenzo De Luca. The governor of Campania is in Rome to participate in the event that he promoted together with other mayors and administrators of Campania. “If instead of holding demonstrations we got to work, maybe we could get more results,” observes Meloni. Words that, from Calabria, go up the peninsula to Rome. De Luca, who has meanwhile moved from Piazza Santi Apostoli to the Transatlántico in Montecitorio, learns about the Prime Minister’s words from journalists. And he responds: «This attitude is intolerable, hundreds of mayors who are here and who do not have money for ordinary administration. Work bitch.” “Ask someone to come here to talk, otherwise you will have to attack us, you will have to kill us,” are also the words that De Luca addresses to a representative of the police, who with a cordon of agents had blocked the entrance .passage of the procession. But it is the insult that provokes the rise of the General Staff of the Brothers of Italy: “We wonder if the leaders of the Democratic Party, starting with Secretary Schlein, do not feel any shame at seeing a regional president represented by that party, insult, mock and ridicule anyone who dares to oppose it,” comments Tommaso Foti, leader of the FdI group in the Chamber: “This type of foul language reveals the true level of the Italian left,” he adds. . And his counterpart in the Senate, Lucio Malan, questions the Democratic leader: “What is truly shameful is the silence of Elly Schlein who, by continuing to remain silent, makes the Democratic Party co-responsible for such unacceptable attitudes.”
