Every week we analyze a politician: promises, misdeeds, personal benefits and costs for citizens.
Matteo Salvini
Italian Government / Italian Parliament
🔍 Why the system makes them all like this
Before analyzing this politician, we must understand the system they operate in. It is no accident that they all betray their promises. The system expects it.
📜 The legal articles that allow it
"Every member of Parliament represents the Nation and exercises their functions without a binding mandate."
This rule establishes that once elected, a member of parliament is not legally bound to keep their electoral promises. They can change party, position, or opinion without any legal consequence. Their "conscience" is the only constraint.
"Members of Parliament cannot be held accountable for opinions expressed and votes cast in the exercise of their functions."
This rule guarantees immunity for statements and votes expressed in Parliament. Even if statements are misleading or contrary to public interest, the politician cannot be prosecuted.

📋 Electoral Promises
Flat tax to 15% for all, families and businesses. Promise repeated in every campaign since 2018. Reality: introduced only for some VAT games, never for everyone.
Ship block to stop landings. Announced several times in 2018. Reality: never implemented, NGOs continued to operate and arrivals did not stop.
Exit from the euro and return to the lira. Evoked several times during the 2018 campaign. Reality: abandoned after the settlement of the Count I government.
Abolition of the law Fornero and Quota 100 for all. Reality: Share 100 introduced only as a temporary measure (2019-2021), then replaced. The Fornero was not abolished.
Construction of the Bridge on the Strait of Messina. Promised in 2018 and 2022. Reality: project approved in 2023, unopened yards. Estimated costs over 10 billion euros.
Repatriation of all illegals and stop to irregular immigration. Promised repeatedly since 2018. Reality: Actual repatriations have decreased, many decrees have been modified or blocked by courts.
Tax cutting and fiscal peace for all. Recurring proposal since 2018. Reality: tax pressure has remained substantially unchanged; sanatoriums have favored only some categories.
Stop at large endless yards and fast public works. Promise repeated by Minister of Infrastructure. Reality: most of the great works are late or blocked.
✅ What They Did for Citizens
The Truth of Facts:
❌ Documented Misdeeds
Security and Responsibility Decrees
Security decrees (2018-2019) produced a huge dispute, with hundreds of appeals and several convictions. Many rules were disassembled by Parliament in 2020.
Case Diciotti
In August 2018 the ship Diciotti was blocked in Catania with 177 migrants on board by order of the Interior Minister. The case led to an investigation and a long institutional dispute.
Government crisis August 2019
Salvini opened the government crisis in the middle of the summer to seek early elections, but the attempt failed and led to the birth of Count II without the League.

→ Translated: electoral promises are ragged paper. He can betray you, legally. Article 68: Parliamentary immunity.
→ Translated: If you commit crimes, you need permission from your colleagues to process it. They almost never give it up. Together, they form the shield of Casta. The first one lets you betray. The second protects you while you do it. Salvini betrayed the flat tax at 15%. He betrayed the naval blockade. He betrayed the euro. He betrayed the abolition of the Fornero. He betrayed the repatriation of all the clandestines. He betrayed the tax cut. He betrayed the Bridge on the Strait. He betrayed the "stop to the big endless yards." Eight promises betrayed in eight years. And the Constitution protects him. And he's coming back. With the same promises. For the eighth time. In Community of Sovereigns, all this does not exist. No immunity. No warrant without constraint. Who's wrong pays. Those who betray laugh. And those who come back with the same promises are not even allowed to do so. Because there are no elections. There are no campaigns. There are no promises. Only decisions taken together, as a peer, without masters.
Conclusion
The champion of betrayal promises
2018 Flat tax to 15% for all Only for some VAT games
2018 Never implemented naval block
2018 Euro Exit Abandoned
2018 Abolition of the Fornero Quota 100 temporary, Fornero never abolished
2018 Repatriation of all the clandestine Rimpatri diminished
2018 Tax cutting Unchanged tax pressure
2022 Bridge on the Strait Cantieri not yet open
2022 Stop to the endless yards Major works late or blocked
The cost for citizens: More than 10 billion euros for the Bridge on the Strait Public money for propaganda and institutional communication Legal fees for litigation on security decrees His financiers: Vaporart (electronic cigarettes): 170.000 € — Salvini defends the svapo Ricciardello Buildings (road, bridge): 300.000 € Nplus (monitorage bridges): 10,000 € — its ministry allocates funds for the maintenance of bridges More than seven direct lenders in areas regulated by his ministry The result: A man who has been promising the same things for eight years, never keeps them, finances himself with companies that operate in the sectors that he himself rules, and resumes every time as if it were the first. This is not democracy. It's a legalized joke. In Community of Sovereigns, this would not be possible. There's no election. There are no campaigns. There are no promises. Only decisions taken together, as a peer, without masters. And who's wrong pays. Always.
