"We withdraw the amendments or the government falls", the words of Di Maio to his parliamentarians and this is what would have happened if they had not yielded on both sides, with Giuseppe Conte in the middle.
Luigi Di Maio put his word on the scales: "I will deal with the amendments tabled by my parliamentarians on the security decree. “Our parliamentarians must understand that if we do not withdraw the amendments and do not pass Salvini's decree as he wants it, the government will fall. And after all Salvini held his nose and voted for the dignity decree, how can we not vote for his?"
81 were the amendments that Salvini had not digested. This was the short circuit behind the proposal for the "amnesty", or fiscal peace. The three-way meeting, writes La Stampa, only served to have a verbal ratification of a decision that Di Maio had actually already taken and confided to his closest collaborators. Via the penal amnesty and via the shield to bring back the capital from abroad. The 5 Stars could rethink the Rc Auto rule, favorable to Campania and unfavorable to the North, but they would not even get the green light for the building amnesty on Ischia.
Giuseppe Conte was a realist addressing the two vice premier, "there are so many people who enjoy seeing you fight and were waiting for nothing else ".
The meeting also served to write and file the letter that will be sent to Brussels on Monday, in the hope of stopping the spread and the memorization on the interests of government bonds. But there is a passage in the comparison that is more interesting than the others to tell, La Stampa always writes, to understand how the tensions have been "forgotten" only in favor of the camera. Salvini and Di Maio accuse the responsibilities of their collaborators, the undersecretaries involved in the tax decree. The Northern League speaks of "carelessness", attacks the Deputy Minister Laura Castelli, and the interference a little too decisive, according to the head of the Carroccio who also esteems him, by Stefano Buffagni, unleashed against the risks of laundering amnesty.
Di Maio defends them against the trio Giancarlo Giorgetti, Massimo Garavaglia and Massimo Bitonci. «The Bermuda Triangle» defines it as one of the 5 Stars to which the entire internal fracture of Salvini's party has not escaped, between the historic partnership of the North and the newly engaged economists such as Armando Siri, Claudio Borghi and Alberto Bagnai, more independent .
Siri obtains what in the excitement of writing the decree (with all the mysteries on the "hand" that remain) had been stopped. The balance and excerpt on the files, which by contract should have declined the so-called "fiscal peace", falls. It will not be immediately written in the provision, because the undersecretary would have closed it only at four in the morning, but it will be introduced with an amendment in the parliamentary conversion phase. The pentastellati will have their eyes wide open because they suspect that the League may try again to slip the shield of assets from abroad between the Chamber and the Senate. Di Maio does not trust Giorgetti, the "third wheel", he calls him, in the relationship between him and Salvini. "From now on we will expect that there is always a pre-council, where the technicians of both parties will look at the documents, so we will know what enters the Council of Ministers". The political leader when he leaves Palazzo Chigi still has a dark face, and is in a hurry to run to the Circus Maximus to tell his people that he has foiled the amnesty.
