READY TO CLIMBING THE DAY - 24/02/11 - BERGAMO IS WITH BOSSI: FEDERALISM AT ALL COSTS " Bergamo, February 24, 2011 - The celebration for the 25th anniversary of moving to Bergamo to celebrate with all the solemnity of the event, March 5, Chiuduno in the presence of the leader, Umberto Bossi, and all the "staff", including the Minister for Simplification regulations (the director of the municipal federalism) and Roberto Calderoli Secretary for Infrastructure, Roberto Castelli. It would have only the duties of the "troika" (even if the adoption Castelli Bergamo) to realize how the Lega Nord Bergamo, in a quarter century, has grown to win the national spotlight. A result that surprised many, but not who spent the early days: "We have always been determined - said the current councilor for urban planning in the Region of Lombardy, Daniele Belotti, elected in 1994, a young, provincial secretary - because we know what we want. And the password has been federalism. Bossi began to talk about it in the eighties: now, finally, it seems that we have. " Words that come just as the Senate in Rome, clears blocked the decree by the President of the Republic, Giorgio Napolitano. In March, as anticipated, the President of the Province, Ettore Pirovano, MP, it's up to the House. But the League's base, this tug of war among institutions, what do you think? "There's someone waiting for twenty years and wants everything immediately - Pirovano says - but there are also those who have a more careful and understand. The key, as taught Bossi, remained calm and cold. " What to trust in the proposals of the Northern League in Bergamo is a very hard base of voters is demonstrated, moreover, the numbers: although far from the historic peak of 43.2% reached in 1996, the League is now the largest party with 36.88% of the votes obtained in the regional elections of 2010, more than 10% in most of the allies of the PDL, "and - he says proudly provincial secretary Cristian Invernizzi, Councillor for Safety Palace Frizzoni - 53 mayors in the province and 112 sections. How to judge the "health" of the movement in our area? I will give 10 when more than 50%. For now I stop at a half past eight. " Because the strength of the League, despite some defections during construction, it is this: fidelity to the choices of Bossi, firmness and determination. How to explain two local administrators, the mayor of Seriate, Silvana Santisi Saita, and to Alzano, Roberto Rings, 'League and PDL were the only fixed points for the people. The territory has given a mandate to the League to carry on federalism and expects this term to take him home. " Well as relations with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, Viewed in this light, less embarrassing, "In our party - says Invernizzi - no antiberlusconiani and Berlusconi. There are only "bossiani. He said the line, and we give them confidence. " "How - says the deputy Giacomo Stucchi, who entered Parliament in 1996 - it happens in a good family. Years have passed but things have not changed. " So while the word "secession" seems, for now, ended up in the attic ("We must acknowledge, pragmatically, that is unrealistic at this time to discuss it," notes Invernizzi), the movement looks ahead: "The problems of the other parties there tag - Pirovano says - We have so many young people who demonstrate quality and clarity of ideas. In my early years we used them, wrongly, as unskilled workers. But now they walk with their legs. "
