He jokes about the leaders of Campo Largo: “I hope that the opposition will be represented for a long time by Schlein and Conte.” Then he moves on to the theme of justice, today perhaps in the background, amidst wars and international crises. But soon, he assures Matteo Salviniin Milan at the presentation of the minister’s book Giuseppe Valditara“The revolution of common sense”, the judges will return to the front page. “In spring 2026 there will be a referendum that can confirm or reject one of the most important reforms of the last thirty years and which this majority is carrying forward, that of justice”.
The fourth passage is expected in the Senate on Thursday, the last of the constitutional process, then the separation of careers will be law. And at this point we will go, in the absence of an unattainable two-thirds majority at the moment of approval, to the referendum. It’s easy to imagine what will happen. “It will be – explains the deputy prime minister – a battle that the left and certain castes will fight as the battle of life, because if you take justice out of the hands of politics and currents, you bring seriousness back into those classrooms”. But the outcome of the consultation is not a given. Whoever gets one more vote wins and the game becomes all-out.
“Certainly – explains Salvini – the left will field rappers, influencers, directors, Landini and Albanese.Anm – adds the secretary of the League – it seems like one left-wing current of the CGIL”.
Valditara talks about the need to return, at school as in society, to a normality that has been lost. An ordinariness that is expressed together with concepts such as authority and responsibility. “The book tells what I’m doing: the centrality of European history, for example, starting from Greek civilization, and never mind if we dedicate fewer pages to non-European peoples or dinosaurs.” But the whole of society seems, according to the two speakers, moderated by Giovanni Sallusti, to be in the grip of a woke drift which ends up overturning the value of things and the proportions between facts.
“On Wednesday – observes Salvini – a 13.5 billion project like the Bridge over the Strait goes before the Court of Auditors. It will be a decisive step before opening the construction sites. But in the meantime, the common sense that Valditara demands seems to be missing. And he places it at the center of his program and his essay. “They pointed out to me – concludes Salvini – that the Bridge could compromise the reproductive faculties of some fish. I didn’t understand, because it’s a single span bridge. But then I asked and I understood: It’s the shadow, the shadow of the deck that could interfere. Do you understand? Try to explain this concept abroad.
And try to tell them that I was prosecuted for kidnapping for having enforced the borders.”
By the way, after the acquittal in the first instance, the controversy is not yet over. The appeal process begins in Palermo on 11 December.
