Giorgia Meloni is furious: «Something unheard of happened. A point of no return in our democracy. Such a thing is out of this world, it is worthy of a totalitarian regime! ». The words of Prime Minister Conte he wasn’t expecting them: “But where have you ever seen a Prime Minister convene a press conference with unified networks to talk not about what he does and will do, but about me? And without contradictory. The game is not equal, you cannot make an institutional speech and, with the excuse, shovel mud over the opposition “.

Conte says that you and Salvini are lying saying that the Mes was established yesterday instead of in 2012, when it was not him but you.
“I? I was neither in government nor in majority. There was Monti! But what is it about? I said that the Eurogroup was told yes to an instrument that the government claimed not to consider. And it’s the truth. Is MES or is it not one of the funding lines provided for in the document signed by Gualtieri? I claim to have my say with the same visibility as Conte ».

Where is it?
«Rai should allow me the space to reply, live on TV, to a disproportionate attack. I expect the President of the Republic to intervene on such a serious matter ».
–
Conte is premier …
“And what does that mean? Since he rules by barrel of decrees, do you think that Italy belongs to him, that the TV is his, that he can do what he wants? Managing a lot of power has given him head. Every rule is skipped ».
–
Conte accuses you of making his job in Europe much more difficult.
“But I still yesterday (Thursday, ed) all day I said that I shared his positions, that it was good to say that if Europe had remained deaf we would have done it alone, that it was right to fight because Italy was not humiliated and that the Mes was not activated. I was on his side ».
–
I mean, did you misunderstand it?
“No, he’s making propaganda. He takes advantage of this to grow his popularity. I don’t need it. I am a patriot, I know how difficult it is to fight for your country and it was not I who made the Merkel salamis, but him. If we go with our heads held high I’m happy, that’s what I ask ».

Conte has promised that he will not give in on the request for a recovery fund financed with eurobonds. Either it succeeds or it fails: perhaps it is not propaganda, it is a challenge.
“We’ll see. If she wins, I will be happy because I love Italy. But to win this battle, did you need a place like this? I’m afraid it’s just propaganda. As I have seen too many times. ”

Bad weather …
“Certainly not our fault: we made serious, concrete proposals, without partisan interests. All were rejected. In Cura Italia there has been an ideological closure towards us. Now we will see what will happen on the liquidity decree. The great fear is that it will be resolved with a deal for the banks and much less for those who ask for loans, which may even be used to pay off previous loans granted by the banks … ».
–
In all this, aren’t you afraid that – with such a rigid position in Italy – Europe will fall apart? Even your Dutch sovereign colleagues in the front line don’t help.
«In every big European family there are internal divisions at the moment, if that’s why the Dutch prime minister is in the same party as Renzi. And on Europe, this is the moment of truth. If you don’t adopt tools like Eurobonds, if you can’t get what you need, it means that Europe is gone. Do not give in to humiliating agreements. We want Conte to come to the Chamber and vote on a motion in which the appeal to the Mes is excluded. We want facts, not words ».
