Matteo Salvini he does not want to waste time and wants Parliament to vote no confidence in the government before mid-August. The Speaker of the Chamber, Roberto Fico, however, reminds him that only "the Presidents of the Chamber and Senate convene the Chambers. Nobody else". How to summon the parliamentarians? Il Giornale writes it: How? By phone? Mail? Whatsapp? No, usually with a telegram on which the date of the meeting is indicated and which bears the President of the Chamber as sender. The dispatch is entrusted to the staff of the Bureau. The telegram is sent to the address indicated by the parliamentarian also 'through the Prefecture' and, therefore, the security forces are also guarantors of the delivery. Wouldn't a press release be enough on the page of the Chamber of Deputies, or on the institutional e-mail? All Italian mysteries.
On the Fb Fico profile: "The Presidents of the House and Senate convene the Chambers. Nobody else. The scheduling of the classroom proceedings is established within a meeting called the group leaders' conference and nowhere else ”. IS "the President of the Republic is the only one who can dissolve the Houses and call early elections, nobody else". The Speaker of the Chamber, Roberto Fico, remembers this with a post on Facebook. “During government crises - writes the Speaker of the Chamber - the Constitution attributes extremely clear powers to the President of the Republic. This is our Republic, our Constitution, our democratic way of life! ”.
Salvini fears the birth of new alliances, "messy", able to remove the polls. At the "mess" between Pd and M5S Beppe Grillo answers him in his own way, calling him a "tamarro". And through the voice of the deputy secretary Paola De Micheli, the Democratic Party repeats: "There are no political conditions for another government, we are ready for elections". But Salvini's suspicions, writes Gianpaolo Grassi sull'Ansa, are all in the Renziana area, even if the person concerned denies: "I don't do secret tricks".
Despite the denials there is something and you can understand it from the words of Beppe Grillo on the Blog of the Stars: "I will rise to save Italy from the new barbarians, do we have to make changes? Let's do them now, other than elections, let's save the country from the gray-green restyling of the establishment".
The reference is clear, to the reform for the cutting of parliamentarians. A way to remove the specter of elections due to the expected constitutional technicalities. The Democratic Party remembers this, speaking of the "trick" of the Five Stars "to not go to the vote and prolong the agony".
The problem is that in any case the country needs a government in light of the upcoming commitments, first of all the economic maneuver to be presented in Brussels.
Di Maio, for his part, does not want to give up the anti-system flag. He announced the start of the collection of signatures among parliamentarians to put the cut of parliamentarians on the agenda of the House, and underlined that the important thing is to do so. If then to support him will be "the League, the Democratic Party, Forza Italia or anyone else" it does not matter to the five stars. In Parliament, the games do not all seem closed, therefore. In this magma of alliances in the sixteenth, the pentastellati try to gain ground on the former ally.
Then Di Maio attacks Salvini accusing him of having "knocked out the only government that in a year resisted lobbies and strong powers". Not surprisingly, we read on the Blog of the Stars, in recent days “Autostrade has earned millions and millions of euros on the stock exchange”. This is followed by the launch of the 'Citofonare Lega' campaign, with a list of the things that the yellow and green would have done if the League had not pulled the plug: from the justice reform to the parliamentary commission on banks, to the minimum wage. On Monday the group leaders in the Senate will meet to establish the date of the vote of confidence. "I seem to understand that Conte wants to go to a count in the courtroom and this is a traumatic break - said the Northern League Giancarlo Giorgetti.
A consensual separation was the most reasonable thing ". Monday will be a day of truth, a turning point to define the path of the crisis. In the meantime, the debate on the post is already open in the Democratic Party. "Nicola Zingaretti won the congress and is the candidate of the entire Democratic Party to lead the government, he says Senator Francesco Verducci, from the national leadership of the party - but if he decided not to want to be a candidate for this role to devote himself exclusively to the Democratic Party, then I think that the coalition primaries are absolutely indispensable and indispensable".
Also Salvini does some reflection. He almost lets it be understood that he wants to take a step back from the Interior Ministry. It would be an answer to those who attack him, considering at least inappropriate that the Minister of the Interior, the one who will have to manage the phases of the vote, is also one of the prime ministerial candidates. Salvini says: "The important thing is that there are elections, then if someone else manages them I am even happier because I will have more time for the electoral campaign ".
Meantime Giuseppe Conte would be thinking of running to the next policies. It is impossible to understand whether alone or to become the new leader of the Pentastellate Movement. Il Fatto Quotidiano yesterday showed that the Salvini Facebook page has lost 48 hours 5mila follower while 10mila earned that of the premier Giuseppe Conte.
