Yesterday morning the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, went up to the Quirinale to talk about the hottest foreign policy dossiers and to assure the President of the Republic that there are numbers in the Senate. The holding of the majority in the Senate would be ensured by at least 5 senators from Italia Viva disappointed by Matteo Renzi's policies and who, as Corriere della Sera writes, would be ready to leave Italia Viva.
Many think that Renzi's strategy is that of the wearing down of Zingaretti and Conte, the prescription issue is just a pretext. In fact, Prime Minister Conte is sure that there will be new issues of friction, which will make clear the true purpose of Matteo Renzi, to get out of the government and the majority.
Conte in the reserved meeting with the head of state, said that he is still determined to go straight with the government action, it will be seen in Parliament if Italia viva is really compact or does not risk losing pieces in the face of the hypothesis of a crisis and early ballot box. In the meantime, the same premier is preparing an extraordinary public spending plan, which may shake up the country's Pii, the last in Europe in terms of growth rate. If Renzi himself suggested, still without details, a shock plan of 120 billion for the economy, they are also thinking about something similar at Palazzo Chigi and in the Democratic Party, and meetings should take place between Tuesday and Wednesday next week. to the Minister of Economy, from which the first details of the changes to the study could be leaked to radically change the spending mechanisms.
Are other Senators added to Italia Viva?
Tommaso Labate on Corsera reveals a phrase by Matteo Renzi: “So, I tell you that from here to a week Italy will either live or have the same senators that it has today or it will have a few more". Where someone means two or three elected to Palazzo Madama with whom the former Prime Minister vows to have direct, very confidential contacts. Already because there are not only the phantoms responsible, writes Labate, in this dangerous intersection in which Renzi and the Conte government, Italia viva and the Pd, the minister Bonafede and that motion of no confidence that the former prime minister continues to threaten. There are not only the most disparate hypotheses, including what Riccardo Nencini's socialists want ready to remove the "mark" from the Senate group in which the Renzians took up residence. But there are also the possible counter-perpetrators, a handful of hidden jokers that the late Rottamatore says he is ready to take out of his pocket.
