Government at the "terminus", but nobody wants elections

"All contributions from the various political forces have served to improve the current working draft of the Recovery Plan. We have not been able to accommodate all the requests of each political force, we must always take into account the overall balance. But each force can recognize the impact of its proposals in the new draft and appreciate the significant progress made ". According to Adnkronos, the premier would have said so Giuseppe Conte opening the work of the summit with the majority forces on the Recovery Plan.

The agriculture minister Teresa Bellanova on tv said that "the government is at the end of the line ”. Di Maio and Zingaretti ask the premier to speed up a new legislative pact. Giuseppe Conte can not help but convene a summit extended to the representatives of the parties at Palazzo Chigi. Eighteen representatives seated at the table, perhaps the last, before bringing the draft of the Italian Recovery Plan to the Council of Ministers, expected in the middle of the next week. The Renzians imply that the master solution is the resignation of Conte, writes the Ansa.

"There will be no vote, but Conte is not essential", He says Ettore Rosato by Iv. He therefore reaches out for a discussion in Parliament to test whether the current government enjoys a majority or not. Zingaretti noting that the government is now on quicksand asks the allies to stop, in the name of "responsibility". Renzi repeats for his part that it is not an ultimatum but an appeal to Conte to speed up and decide on the Recovery, bringing the plan to CDM. No to a technical government or to elections, we would open the doors to the right. The summit is not exactly the traditional ones, the tension is in the air. For Iv there are Teresa Bellanova, Maria Elena Boschi, Davide Faraone, exactly opposite are the premier and the minister of the economy Roberto Gualtieri. Changes to the plan are presented according to the observations of the parties. However, the Renzians note that there are no real steps forward. Pharaoh immediately speaks of the Mes and the Bridge over the Strait, asking for more details on the plan. Gualtieri responds in kind: "If we had given you the complete plan before agreeing the lines of synthesis, you would have complained".

La Woods takes the floor: "Little money for agriculture and nothing for the Family Act. If you take money away from our ministers, you don't want to talk. Provoke ".

Federico Fornaro and Loredana De Petris of Leu are explicit: "Renzi is looking for a "pretext" to break up, the Mes is not in Recovery, period. And he doesn't have the votes in Parliament ”.

The Renzians make it clear that Conte is engaged in the search for leaders in Parliament, but has not yet found them. The fear of Pd and M5S is that Iv may withdraw the two ministers before the next Council of Ministers.

Reshuffle

The reshuffle could be a solution, even if no one believes it anymore. According to some rumors, it is thought to give an undersecretary to the Prime Minister to the Democratic Party and create the figure of a new minister at Recovery. For Iv there could be the Defense with another ministry while the delegation to the Services would pass to a trusted man by the premier.

The Quirinal

Meanwhile the President of the Republic Mattarella he follows the events from the Quirinale in religious silence, having already made it clear that he is unwilling to accept a "picky" parliamentary majority thanks to the support of the so-called "Responsibles".

Between Conte and Renzi is a question and answer by means of messages via agencies and social networks and TV

"The country cannot afford a delay on the Recovery plan because this would compromise our recovery and would be unforgivable for the citizens ". The premier says so Giuseppe Conte, what is learned, at the top of the government underlining that the Recovery plan cannot be the tool to define all the open questions in the majority.

"I would like a Conte government, not a Conte government, which gives Italy a future, which unlocks the infrastructure". Thus the leader of IV, Matteo Renzi, at Tonera Italia on Rete 4.

"We asked to start work in July and you woke up in December. And since 7 December you have reconvened us on 22 December - said the exponents of IV - We have always worked, even at Christmas. Now we want the final document and on that we evaluate in 24 hours. Don't waste any more time ”.

The situation is still very fluid, Renzi can no longer go back, he also said that he would be willing to go to the opposition in the two halls of Parliament. We'll see…
