Yesterday Matteo Salvini overcame the uncertainties, we are available, we do not veto, and even the M5S has declared its support, after a pre-summit in which they participated Giuseppe Conte and Davide Casaleggio, and during which Beppe Grillo he motivated the big names with a 45-minute monologue-show whose final meaning he then summarized in a maxim by Plato: I don’t know an infallible way to success, but one for sure failure: wanting to please everyone.

Mario Draghi arrives at the Chamber. At twelve the meeting with the League begins but the Movement meets first, Beppe Grillo at times he screams in front of his parliamentarians, spurs them to unity: I want you united and compact! We must defend our themes and put the environment at the center. At a certain point the founder’s voice can also be heard in the street, in the street below the windows of the Tatarella room. Grillo proposes to create a ministry for ecological transition, introduce fewer taxes to benefit companies, create the superior council for sustainable development, reduce environmentally harmful subsidies. There are four points of the mini programmatic document that the founder of the M5S Beppe Grillo publishes on his blog, in a post entitled Top profiles. Post ending with the sentence: Strawberries are ripe. Giuseppe Conte mysterious about his future: You will know. While on the government: We cannot – underlines the Apulian jurist – think about personal interests, all political issues are now in the background. The perimeter of the majority will be important, at the moment it is not important to know if I belong to the government.

Salvini ends the confrontation with Draghi. And when total openness appears in front of the press. With one detail of no small importance: the paradigm of the party in foreign policy also changes. We are available. We do not veto. It was a half hour of interesting and stimulating discussion – continues the Northern League leader – on the idea of Italy which coincides in several respects. At the center of the interview was the theme of growth, development, construction sites, tourism businesses, work and not charities, the no to the increase in taxes and the no to assets. We do not set conditions. We talked about Europe: it is not a question of being pro-European or anti-European. If national interests are to be defended, we want to be part of a government that is going to negotiate in Brussels with its head held high. Then he concludes: Not the time for no. From the League or a convinced self or nothing. We will not ask for seats, Draghi decides.

The M5S ends the consultations. Speaks Vito Crimi: We will be there with loyalty. We have given our willingness to take part in the executive if the conditions are right. We will check this availability again when we meet with the prime minister in charge Mario Draghi to understand the picture, starting from the themes. Our goal is to bring the themes to the center. And then he reiterated that we need a political majority that can support a solid government.

There comes the denial of the rumors that they would like the Democratic Party to be embarrassed for the League’s entry into the government. The dem would be tempted by outside support. But with an official party note all doubts are swept away. The Nazarene specifies: The news on orientations taken on possible external support to the government are unfounded. The position of the Democratic Party was voted in the direction and illustrated to Professor Draghi. Numerous sources let it be known that it is actually complicated to be in a political government all together and therefore the negotiations are still underway for a solution with respect to the new executive. A decision not yet taken, a new direction is not excluded.

The assignment to Draghi had a first effect. Salvini became a pro-European in 24 hours. The deputy secretary of the dem, Andrea Orlando, writes in a tweet, indirectly confirming that the stomach ache due to the presence of the League in the government have not subsided at all.
