From the time it was created, the Lega has always considered the Christian Democrats to be their adversaries. Andreotti has definitely been their main opponent. The people of the Lega in part were in favour of Mani Pulite (the “Clean Hands” initiative) and were openly supporting me, as they did in the public interrogation of Forlani. I don’t think that they will appreciate the nomination of a Christian Democrat who is “prescribed” as President of the Senate. Just as I don’t appreciate it.

It is surprising that a movement that was born to change Italy finds itself supporting the heirs of Bettino Craxi and his interests and after that Giulio Andreotti.
Any member of the Lega who has held on to old copies of La Padania (newspaper of the Lega) can have another look at the articles about Andreotti and Berlusconi. In particular, they can read the questions put by Max Parisi about the source of the financing of Berlusconi’s companies. These questions were not answered.
By rereading these articles they will get a surprise and a moment of up-side-down-ness. The ones that they were fighting against are today their allies.
Political tactics cannot justify this attitude.
The leaders of the Lega cannot fail to know this. They will pay the consequences after the failure of the forthcoming referendum about devolution.
