(by Massimiliano D'Elia) It did not go unnoticed that only #Salvini and the economists of the League had moved to respond to the letter from Brussels. The meeting in via XX Settembre the other day. Yesterday a letter began to circulate in the media with lots of signatures and headed paper. The contents were very destabilizing. Heavy welfare measures were promised with severe penalties for 100 share and citizenship income.
"Earthquake".... Di Maio disavowed the contents and immediately called Tria for clarification. Same thing Giuseppe Conte, alarmed by the leak of news from the Treasury. Conte sensitized Tria to carry out internal investigations to track down the "hand" - also proceeding through the courts - that released a highly destabilizing fake author for the markets and for the country.
Tria's response did not convince everyone, many accuse him of already having the League card. The letter disclosed is not the result of the work of the dicastery. The letter, the real one, according to Tria had not yet been produced because it requires an opinion shared between the premier and the two vice premier. At 22.00 it finally started, with small variations compared to the alleged fake letter. In the final text the savings on the funds for the new welfare remain and only the explicit reference to citizenship income and to 100 quota is skipped.
It is not even a coincidence that Giuseppe #Conte, tired of being put in the middle of these "theaters", said: "Monday I will speak to the Italians. We need clarity and we must stop with the tears. Now the electoral campaign is over, the waste and the excitement must be disposed of and I will illustrate what the conditions are for moving forward. I can't continue like this, every day with an ultimatum from Salvini. This way you can't go on and if it continues like this I'll go back to being a lawyer. "
Among the conditions of Conte the indispensable balance between the two political forces in the sense of the proposals and measures to be adopted, with the recognition of the role of the prime minister, without field invasions.
A kind of diktat to Salvini who every day dictates an agenda, as shadow premier, made on purpose to blow the nerves of the 5Stelle. Tav, differentiated autonomy, flat tax and no to "Save Rome" and a reform of justice as the grillini would like. Plus a grave amnesty and an end to the procurement code for two years. Unacceptable conditions for the grillinos who are increasingly on a war footing.
Di Maio, freshly confirmed as leader of the party, cannot help but give something to Salvini, hoping that the leader of the Carroccio will accept. Salvini probably wants to put the 5S to the extreme to open up a government crisis for them and make them capitulate definitively.
Immediately sacrificable is Danilo Toninelli who could be replaced with the pentastorked leader in the Senate Stefano Patuanelli. Elisabetta Trenta (Defense) and Sergio Costa (Environment), Giulia Grillo (Health) are also at risk.
Almost certainly Salvini will not accept the replacement of 5Stelle ministers with others of the Movement. He will want to balance the number of ministers in the Council of Ministers, given that the majority of pentastellars remain in Parliament.
On Monday it will be possible to understand the direction that this government intends to take.
