The “qualitative leap” has not yet been seen and nervousness is growing in the Democratic Party. The event at Villa Pamphili, strongly desired by Giuseppe Conte, added meat to the fire that has gone on to add to what has been on the grill for months. The postponement in postponement is practically already in September with the schools that, perhaps, will reopen and that regional electoral appointment that does not promise anything good for the majority and that could turn into yet another opportunity to blow up the bank.
THE NEGOTIATION
Despite the proliferation of meetings and summits, the prime minister is unable to summarize almost anything and so the event of the possible use of the Mes also risks being postponed to September. It is indeed very probable that to avoid trouble in the resolution that will be voted on in a few days in Parliament, after the Prime Minister has made his communications with a view to the European Council, Mes will not be mentioned.
Mes, Merkel: «Made to be used, but Italy decides». Count: no to external pressure
On the other hand, they make it clear from Palazzo Chigi, the negotiation in progress in Brussels is on the Recovery fund, while the Mes, in addition to not being properly a Community instrument, is already defined in terms of access and conditions. However, the political problem remains. After some prevarication, Conte has aligned himself with the M5S and thinks that Italy can do without using the European Stability Mechanism. At least he was fully convinced of it until the day before yesterday when Chancellor Angela Merkel, who will lead the next European semester, made it clear to Conte that Germany will fight for Italy, and the countries in greatest difficulty, to have at their disposal all the tools to face the crisis, as long as they are used. Position shared by + Europe with Benedetto Della Vedova who speaks of “grotesque Italian comedy directed by Crimi”.
Shattered M5S, 2 more goodbyes. The red-yellow Senate hangs in the balance
Not mentioning the MES in the resolution that will be voted in Parliament could therefore be misinterpreted in Brussels as by the markets, but will allow the M5S not to split between the government wing and the more convinced sovereign wing that the Senate has the numbers to send under the government , unless FI intervenes. Palazzo Chigi yesterday took care to deny the possible direct contacts between Conte and Berlusconi told by the Corriere and which could also concern the government’s ongoing attempt to review the distribution of the advertising cake that now benefits only TV. Apart from the two, a kind of appeasement has been denied for some time, although no one believes it is possible to support the current executive within FI. Indeed, among the blues we are now also wondering what to do when the new budget deviation from 20 billion arrives in the courtroom that Minister Gualtieri will soon bring to Parliament. A figure that has risen in recent weeks just to allow the executive to arrive in September without having to resort to the Mes.
Regional, center-right agreement: Caldoro and Fitto emerge. Salvini yields to the South
New debt resources that should guarantee other layoffs but not the promised opening of construction sites, the release of the Ilva question, the solution of the dispute with Autostrade, or the final arrangement of Alitalia, a carrier that has been grinding billions of public funds for years.
But for the Democratic Party of Nicola Zingaretti – which does not hinder the postponement to September – the appointment with the Mes is only postponed because the 36 billion that it makes available “are needed to reform the health system and must therefore be used”. All the presidents of the region asked for the Mes money, to which the Tuscan Enrico Rossi gave voice yesterday while the blue Anna Maria Bernini comes to claim that it is in the national interest to use the Mes
Adding voltage between Pd and Palazzo Chigi is also the Rai issue. For the dem, the current board of directors must be changed on expiry and Salini “must go away, like the director of the Giggi-Uno”, they argue ironically on the orientation of the flagship network. No extensions, therefore, given that the current board has been installed by the previous sovereign government of the Lega-M5S.
Although the Democratic Party keeps the pressure high, little to nothing seems to be moving in government action. Just as the regional alliances between the majority parties and especially between the Democratic Party and the M5S do not take off. Even if something seems to be moving in Puglia and Liguria, it is still very far from the compactness that still manages to express the center-right. In Puglia, the former magistrate and current governor Michele Emiliano could collect the support of the M5S but not that of Italia Viva which remains firm on Ivan Scalfarotto. In Liguria, however, everyone, Iv and M5S, could converge on the university professor Aristide Massardo, even if the road is still long. In the three regions it is, for now, an all against all that drives away that organic alliance between dem and grillini that in the Democratic Party more than one relaunches with increasing frequency and nervousness.
