4:22 pm
hello and welcome to the program. august is normally a quiet month for italians a chance to enjoy the summer holidays but politicians have been forced back to work to contain a crisis prime minister has resigned accusing the interior minister matteo solve any of sinking of the coalition government for personal and political gain salvini and his far. popularity is on the rise for being tough on immigration he wants to force a snap election but it's not straightforward as that. explains from wrong. as leader of the government jews epic contest had overseen one of the most challenging coalitions in recent times battling one political crisis after another contest being a stabilizing force between 2 vastly different political parties the far right league and the anti establishment 5 star movement it proved to be an impossible task and
4:23 pm
contest said he would be offering his resignation but there was no question over who he thought was responsible. that interior minister has shown that he is following his own interests and those of his party. in a blistering attack against any country accused him of unleashing further turmoil and in doing so endangering italy's already started to con a me but the league party leader was unrepentant. i would do again everything i did everything with the great strength of being a free man therefore it means i'm not afraid of the judgment of the italians overshadowing this impasse has been my tale own political agenda vocally anti migrant he's also waged war on the engineers that have attempted to rescue asylum seekers crossing the mediterranean and it's a tactic that has had success support for his views have increased across the
4:24 pm
country turning his party into a force that cannot be ignored. in the middle of this political drama the spanish rescue vessel hovering off the coast of lampedusa with dozens of vulnerable people on board for more than 2 weeks they have not been given permission to disembark the open arms vessels repeatedly requested permission to dock despite continued rejection someone board became so frantic they risked their own lives by jumping into the sea attempting to swim to land they were rescued by nearby italian coast guard vessels. on tuesday a local prosecutor visited the vessel and issued an emergency measure allowing it to dock in lump it was but this is one incident among many others despite tough new laws preventing such landings they still arrive desperate for safety in europe no matter the cost of reaching their son in. rome.
4:25 pm
let's bring in all from rome. is an italian journalist and a 1000000 or de blasio is a professor of political science. beauty university welcome to the program alberto now that prime minister. has resigned opening the concert a multitude of options what do you think is the more likely scenario for the country. well everything is in the hands of ration of the italian republic said john martorano was a very wise man the question everybody is not if we will go to elections but how and when we will go to elections so the prospect of a snap election seems to be phasing away and probably will go to elections in a few months with somehow direction by the presence of the republic
4:26 pm
a 1000000 or are we headed towards a political impasse in italy or do you still still see the possibility of for example of a caretaker government yes we are political impasse there is a possibility for a government it depends obviously from the many streams inside the b.d.a. the democratic party but also from the volunteer on the 5 so movements because actually seems that we have a couple of possibility right there on the path the 1st one is ok we can have a national coalition and composed by 5 so movements and i'm not while the 2nd one could be government lead by 5 so movements and supported by democratic party and the extreme left so all these are sort of the very center of this whole saga now is ill capital as his supporters call him.
4:27 pm
salvini alberto why do you think much value is moving towards this direction. well they kept them as you recall that is a very strong figure is the typical strong man that the right movement would like to see in power there are some reasons why 1st of all we have to take into account that in the real country the real masses of italians which are now following sodini want him to be forming in your government we have had some rounds of local elections in italy where the leg which is party climbed up to some 40 percent 38 to 40 percent of political consensus while the 5 star movement who used to be sold been his partner in the government went down dramatically from 32 to 17 percent so the reason why somebody wants to go for snap elections is because he
4:28 pm
wants to cash in he wants to capitalize somehow from these extreme strong waves of political consensus has got in the country. a 1000000 i mean if you remember when the whole coalition came together. it was a myth a feeling that the leader along with the 5 star movement would bring about genuine radical change of the country suddenly you have the captain salvina. ditching his partner is this something which could widely be seen in the political establishment as an act of political betrayal. it's the 1st time ever to top in a crisis like that by the way even if we did know from the very beginning that to call ition was very challenging because the 2 souls of the coalition 5 star movement and the league the former north league levy by the me are extremely
4:29 pm
different i mean the north league the former north league the actual negro is a sovereign is movement more lean to the. industry in the north while the faster movement was. i mean it was a movement beginning from the people land started from the very martin. you have very 2 different political parties that started and disqualification and also facing the european union intention they add a completely different thing tension ok so we end the sense in that that actually was a very strange and challenging collision that obviously i was back to stated before the personality on my tail selenium rise up even if i want to out something just to quote yes he wants to optimize political consensus consensus among the telly and this passion of the european elash election but also he wants to escape from the
4:30 pm
financial stable low. because we do know that eataly needs 23 billions and according to the european union and the manse and so now italy done that doesn't have 23 b. and you don't want to i mean to to recall ever to any measure we will talk about that particular alberta is it fair to say that 5 star movement is the biggest loser in this political move by salvini. well to to to say if there will be the losers will have to wait and see what will happen the next 2 weeks because it's been losing consensus in the country as i was mentioning the last from 32 down to a miserable 17 and in some cases 12 percent in local elections part at the moment they still have a strong majority in the national parliament so if surge of matter allows the press
4:31 pm
in a town republic decides not to go for elections in the anything in the nation it will strain still preserve damage already in the parliament and they will be able to form a new coalition gone with the democratic the sole they're not exactly losers but they know that they have to do something in order not to be pushed out of the parliament in order to get back to the parliament which is a much smaller much smaller portion of the italian consensus in 1000000 spoke earlier about one of the possibilities which is. along with matteo renzi who is the. leader of the center left democratic party coming together is this alliance an option what do they have in common. i mean it is an option by the way even if we have to precised that the secretary of the democratic
4:32 pm
party no i days is not there and month. by the majority of the party of the pratik party are needed by my. so i think that an alliance is possible because the 2 parties don't want to go to the political exile us back that was before i mean they're losing consensus around the county so they don't want to go to the election now adays be newt alberto do you see this possibility the 2 big egos demaio and matteo renzi coming together despite the fact that just. few days ago the possibility for them coming together was almost impossible well you know it'll ease at its roots a catholic country so maybe it it could get together if they're able to forgive each other you know the sense of forgiving is at the center of italian culture but in terms of possibility that they come together many political observers said that
4:33 pm
if you put my tail raincy which was prime minister true governments ago together with. legion emanuel it could be putting water together with oil so it's quite uncommon to see them together but it's the whole of the democratic party which has a 1000000 was mentioning is not only meant to rancy but many many other barons many other colonists as a call them so there is a possibility of a new coalition democratic party plus fast as movement was definitely looks impossible at the moment is that they get back to the table the lega any. i think that there is a fracture and there is the disarray sion is definite it and it's important that they get back to the table a 1000000 a why would be such an 80 within the political establishment in italy with all political commentators have been saying this year that the only thing in
4:34 pm
common between the 5 star movement and the league is themselves being anti establishment but apart from that they have nothing in the current incumbent and the potential for them to depart their ways is very strong. there is a big anxiety because probably we didn't respect a crisis in the middle of the 1st cation those these year bought yes they have nothing in common they'd even that they didn't have in common also the vision of the european union they don't i mean come on the vision on the economic receive years they don't even have income on division of the measures of the growth of italy so either you were stuck so i can understand the crisis and i can understand these divorce that is getting power like yesterday we did i mean. without from asian on the prime means of the legal prime minister which is cohen so content off
4:35 pm
easily divorce we divorced we'd be in young side is related to the fact that we are not sure that the government is possible even or even if settlement i'm sure the president of the republic wants to carry young these legislator because would be a disaster for italy to go to election in italy i mean we assisted to our continue campaign for more than a here by being i mean i don't think that we can stay stuck on the political communication we need to do something i mean we need to to find an agreement with the european union we're out of that out of the european union line now and we also need to find a way to or below our political and if the italians are looking forward to rebuild the political life of this is going to be a question to our. why is subtly salvini becoming.
4:36 pm
somehow a savior for many italian is because people are fed up with decades of center right center left government bureaucracy dysfunctional political establishments easy brisson to get alternative for the italians. well that is mainly 2 reasons why cell binny is so strong the moment the 1st news most start at the center left governments minimized the momentum of the cultural. the cultural problem there is with immigration in italy in many many suburbia in many many urban areas immigration is causing some problems up in depression of difference and cultures even of micro criminality which is rising up and the center left governments always minimized without taking measures so even if something has got no clear idea of the problem the simple fact that is very vocal against immigration made him extremely popular the 2nd reason the standards traditionally
4:37 pm
speaking the enter printers and the companies and the strong economic powers which has always been backing so binnie from the north now claiming to be better represented so somehow they asked him to pull the plug to the government to go for the elections in order to ensure that to productively not obviously that is beneteau to this long word that is liguori which are full of intrapreneur as far back and so they can get a better voice and can be better erd in the italian government so one reason is economical the other one is cultural a 1000000 or i mean being vocal srong aggressive in pursuing a political agenda is something people would understand but ultimately i think it's all yours do understand that you need someone who's a problem out is to be able to solve the country's political and economic problems and this is a country that needs to put itself within the framework of the e.u.
4:38 pm
to move forward why would it talia's believe suddenly that with salvini someone who would like to distance itself from europe could be a savior of the nation. ok. yes i mean italians were always fascinated by a strong leader by a person that could solve everything i mean we have an example few years ago with matteo renzi i mean you reach the 40 percent of the european elections and now we're seen in seeing pretty much the same thing with even if the communication is pretty much different and so obviously also the political issues are pretty much the friend. but so even if we are fascinating then we have to see you i mean a perfectly what we will do obviously we still have a consensus i mean even if the consensus seems pretty must different from the percent folly of political election and the majority on the parliament so if you
4:39 pm
love the consensus we don't know how. is going to put together i mean the need of the tele to grow i mean not only i mean economically in italy nice towards a socially i mean we also have a big difference in society for example we have a north east studies at the maximum level of the european union while the south is completely separated from the standard of europe so we still have this problem this builds problem so i mean. come from very far away and i don't think that saladin is going to sorted out from them even if obviously surfin a very important issue i mean it may perception in the perception of the italians is surfing a very light for example me gratian which is important in or europe of but obviously is producing different answers all over ok europe are better i mean it's quite obvious that salvini so that his party doubled its seats in the european
4:40 pm
parliament as head you know what we could also do it with the political landscape in italy and then if we go to any snap election we will be able easily to double our seats here's the question if he can win the election and manages to form a governing coalition when it comes to the. rules that he says he's opposed to and the italy is that what what is he what is he offering here to say. to fix these 2 issues. well been a sick anomic idea on the contrary of what to do 5 of those movement things are for expansion growth of national product and in measures which should encourage further t.d.d. in the companies in the enterprises but these could be done according to so the nice advisor even without solving the problem at the moment of the italian public debt which is will recall will have to remember that doubled in germany's germany
4:41 pm
travels around 60 percent operations are between the public debt dept and the gross national product france is around 100 and we are 130 which is double than germany so when he says this is not a problem we have to expand economy to expand the g.n.p. and we will succeed one other thing that something is supposed to be doing very soon if you want to reassure his international partners france germany and most of all the united states is to abandon or to silence his agreement with latina to put in the rational gate that we had in the 30 is not to stronger the one effect as the one affecting mr carr but it's quite strong i mean we need 2 positions for me supporting and this is not really orthodox in a country they meet early which has strong men to nato traditions because oh if somebody is able to make people forget this russia alignment and getting back to
4:42 pm
the drawing board the nato the woodlands difficult. those with difficult though i have to say because five-star and the league have always been saying that we need to have russia on board because russia and nato is something very good for europe what is not good for europe is immigrants of the grove rise of islam is a millionaire. let's move forward 2 words what it means for europe if salvini wins a snap election consolidate his gains what kind of message does this send to germany in particular and to the e.u. . the position of salvini seems very clear against the you he doesn't even participate to i mean to the meeting of the european union he has a long long long experience a politician inside the europeans are in awe and but you want to break up into what
4:43 pm
up i mean in europe seems very worried in fact for death easily seems to isolate not nowadays from the usual partners i mean we're isolated from france we had a couple of embarrassing moments i mean that would leave by the 5 star movement but then i recall it but didn't want to talk i mean while calling to tried several times also 12 i mean informal meeting especially in the hours for instance we kill i mean to record on the situation but the message that we're giving to or to europe is not exceptionally is not exactly positive we are out from the trade where out from the me. we were i mean we were a founder of the european union and the our there is only france and germany are out in the me because of you me and doesn't want to take part of them alberta. you have many angles we seem to be really interconnected here because we're talking about the league of the league is part of
4:44 pm
