(by Massimiliano D'Elia) A "soap opera" model government crisis, a novelty every day. A video, a letter, a note: all via social media. Today at 15.00 the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte in the Senate Chamber will give his communications to which, most likely, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini will respond. The votes for the motion of no confidence in Giuseppe Conte are small, probably the Renzian senators are decisive. The roads should already be traced, after the vote Giuseppe Conte will go up to the Quirinale to resign. From that moment the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella will start consultations with the parties. The watchword of the Head of State: "clarity, speed and wide-ranging majority proposals, the alternative is the polls on October 27".
In the meantime, the meetings between the colonels of PD and M5S continue. The political leader of the M5S, Luigi Di Maio smells of burning (the big names of the Movement want his head) and does not close on his return to the League, he would have made it clear yesterday at the meeting of the parliamentary groups of the Movement: "We do not open or close to anyone".
Maybe a Count bis asking Salvini to leave the government and therefore renounce the Interior Ministry. A hypothesis that, as reported by the press today, was also suggested to Salvini by Giancarlo Giorgetti. I doubt that the leader of the Northern League accepts this insult, because it would take credibility towards his supporters.
As Corriere della Sera writes, top-level sources of the M5S reported that during the meeting at Grillo's home among the big pentastellati Casaleggio would have said: "Ah, Luigi, you are the one who wants to go to the vote, am I right? Perhaps it is not clear to you that if you go to the vote today, tomorrow, in six months or in six years, the Movement is dead. And he also died because you weren't able to drive him ". Words like stones, which made a confidential poll that sees the Movement weigh between 7 and 8 percent in the event of elections.
The exit srategy for Di Maio would be: "They asked us to accept Di Maio as Interior Minister in the new government“, Would have whispered a ninety piece of the Democratic Party, writes the Corriere della Sera.
As far as Giuseppe Conte's speech is concerned, it will not be so much the speech of a resigning premier as, according to several sources, a real political indictment that has the "traitor" Salvini as its sole target.
