the UDC and Mastella parade, 5 Stars in crisis- Corriere.it

ROME – They say at Palazzo Chigi, without hiding their bitterness, “Conte’s project to create a moderate, liberal and pro-European center for the moment is frozen, does not take off».

They don’t use the word “failed”, but they are close to it.

They report that the head of the government is very sorry, that he is aware that the majority in the Senate will only be relative, that at the moment, 161 is just a mirage but patience, for now it will go on in this way.

Filter from the staff of the head of government: there is no such thing as the premier who does not go to Parliament to check the numbers he has, it is not a tragedy if he does not have an absolute majority of senators, there are more than a dozen historical precedents, governments that they went ahead with one of the two chambers which actually registered a relative majority, from Cossiga to Berlusconi, from D’Alema to Dini, up to Ciampi and Andreotti, Moro and Fanfani.

Yet another heart-pounding day, with the abacus of the Senate that goes up and down, but which stops well below 161 (below all the counts), and which continues to gravitate around 155 senators, but no more, primarily records the confirmation of a position of clear closure of both the Democratic Party but especially the Five Stars against Renzi. He decided to refrain the former secretary of the Democratic Party, well, maybe he has reunited his group. But with his former allies, he will still have no window of cooperation.

It confirms this the meeting of Five Stars movement: for the top management, for the group leaders, for the heads of delegations, «the absolute solidity of the Movement around President Conte was reaffirmed by all». A position that “is not under discussion”, as it remains confirmed “the impossibility of any rapprochement with Renzi, who wanted the tear despite our parliamentarians having worked well on many projects “with deputies and senators from living Italy. On the part of those present there was a clear desire “not to look back, let’s continue to work thinking only of the good of the country”. In short, the openings of the Renzians, the regrets, the possible setbacks, are not even taken into consideration.

Even the Pd brings together its leaders and the position is not far from that of the Movement, in a note following the meeting Matteo Renzi is accused of having created “increasingly difficult conditions to guarantee adequate government for the country in an emergency situation, risking opening up unpredictable scenarios. Now to ensure full transparency we go to the appropriate seats, the parliamentary ones, where everyone will have to assume their responsibilities to safeguard the interests of the country ”.

in conclusion the hypothesis that Conte resigns before a parliamentary response apparently does not exist.

And this despite a day in which all the possible builders, or leaders, of a new government seem to slip away always led by Conte.

After three days of negotiations the UDC takes off and makes the responsible operation shake, “we don’t lend ourselves to palace games and we’re in the center-right”, they thundered early in the morning with a note, “our values ​​are not for sale.” Not enough: the Maie-Italia 23 operation does not bear the hoped-for results, the bridegroom Clemente Mastella is denied on Twitter by Carlo Calenda who says he was contacted and rejected the offer. His senators will not support Conte, in exchange for support from the Democratic Party in the campaign for mayor of Rome. The result is a disaster, a social scuffle at the end of which the mayor of Benevento is called out: “I tried to put bricks, others to remove them, and then if they saw it”.

The Renzians rub their hands: the sirens of the Democratic Party do not split the group and to leave to return to the house dem is only the deputy Vito De Filippo. “In the Senate, the 18 senators will be decisive given that the majority at the moment is between 150 and 152. We do not respond to provocations and work on the contents”, urges the Florentine senator speaking to his followers: they will return to meet on Sunday to decide if it will really be abstention in the Senate or less.

For the moment the government is lacking the numbers, on Tuesday the evidence of the facts in the Senate, but in two days everything can still change.
