ANAC will be freed up in September and will help facilitate the handover from Salvini to Piantedosi at the Ministry of the Interior

The new post set to facilitate the Salvini-Piantedosi handover at the Ministry of the Interior is the ANAC. This is the authority that will soon become vacant and be assigned to the League. On 11 September, the term of office of the president of the ANAC – the Anti-Corruption Authority, the body devised by the Renzi government and entrusted in 2014 to magistrate Raffaele Cantone – expires. President Giovanni Busia’s term ends after six years. Giorgetti and Meloni are aware that the only way to prop up the League – to prevent it from collapsing – is to hand the Ministry of the Interior over to Salvini. He already has plans in place: to act as the anti-Vannacci. He wants to revive the League’s symbolic slogan: the ‘ronde’. He envisages patrols in the cities and the army at the borders. The Minister of the Interior, the prefect and the technical official could all be transferred to ANAC. Today, Salvini is convening the Lombardy branch of the League and wants to challenge those who are playing the ‘hidalgo’. He thinks it’s just Attilio Fontana, but alongside him are Romeo, Zaia, Fedriga and Fugatti. Giorgetti is there too – a man capable of contradicting himself, whose name is Giancarlo.
