These are hectic hours for the Conte government. While Italia Viva seems ready for a definitive break, tactics and strategies, expectations and long sighs intertwine in the background.
“It is the Prime Minister who pulls the plug from the government, not us, because it is he who continues in his attitude of not taking on the problems, but rather, putting them under the carpet. We cannot go on like this. He told us that Will we see each other in the classroom challenging each other? Okay. We will meet in Parliament and use the dialectic and our numbers to see who is right about the delays of this government “, clarified today the national coordinator of Italia Viva, Ettore Rosato to the microphones of Radio Popolare. A statement that has the flavor of a Far-West challenge.“But what offer would Conte have made? We want answers to our requests, we are not interested in offers of places or who knows which mediation table”, added Renziano, letting it appear that, by now, the time for Giuseppe Conte is about to expire.
Words that demonstrate how bankruptcy was the strategy of Palazzo Chigi which, according to the indiscretions collected by ilGiornale.it, would be, as usual, the result of the advice of Rocco Casalino and the vainglory of Prime Minister Conte “for some time now hostage to a Napoleonic syndrome”. And to confirm this are several parliamentary sources of the majority: “If we have reached this point on the verge of a crisis – they confide – it is because the president has pulled it out and because he has decided to engage with Renzi a personal duel to increase their popularity along the lines of the clash with Matteo Salvini at the end of the yellow-green government. “But this time things went differently:” Then Salvini invoked full powers – our sources continue – today those who seem to invoke them instead is just Conte .. “. But, to worsen the already precarious position of the premier, add the fact that the grillini, as we have already written, they are no longer willing to defend their prime minister with the same force with which they once did. Press releases and official positions are vague, weak, ambiguous and this reinforces the idea that even the Grillini have no intention of sacrificing themselves behind a premier they have proposed twice, but never receive anything in return. If not the proposed one of his parties, formulated in recent days by Minister Stefano Patuanelli to a group of senators and immediately rejected to the sender because it would be the prelude to an early vote.
In this context, in the last few hours, however, new hypotheses have emerged which risk stiffening even more the position of the pentastellati towards their premier and which, therefore, would envisage an end that is anything but glorious for Giuseppe Conte. In fact, in the midst of the ongoing negotiations, the possibility of a dignified way out for the majority would have appeared several times, namely a Count ter with a maxi government reshuffle attached. Matteo Renzi would have let his government allies know that he was willing to support Conte again if he radically changed his methods and methods. In short, the former premier asks the president in office for a debate on the contents, as confirmed by the recent public statements by Minister Teresa Bellanova. A proposal that Conte continues not to consider because, explain sources who closely follow the negotiations, “he is afraid that it is a pretext to kill him”. But you know, the rumors in politics circulate rapidly and it is in this long telephone line that new discontent are knotted among the grillini: “If there is the possibility of keeping Conte by starting a reshuffle and inserting again the figures of the vice premieres, why doesn’t Conte accept? ”. The suspicion is that at Chigi “there is no desire to take any step back in order to keep power concentrated in his own hands and that Conte, rather than yielding to Renzi’s requests, which are basically normal and legitimate requests, prefers to drag everyone to vote“. In front of this crossroads, the premier seems to be in free fall. Although there is still someone in the Movement willing to defend it to the end, now even the last soldiers are starting to ask themselves “whether it is better to let go and then have more room for negotiation in a hypothetical reshuffle”.
