(by Massimiliano D'Elia) Air of reshuffle? This time it seems that Prime Minister Conte is also convinced. To reveal an indiscretion is the Republic that tells the visit of Matteo Renzi to Palazzo Chigi. He would have been there for at least twice in the past month. At the center of the talks is the relationship to be undertaken with the new US president John Biden in light of the privileged contacts that Matteo Renzi holds.
But there is more because Conte at this point in the legislature perhaps realized that a coupon must be made to the government, after the subliminal requests received on several occasions by the forces that make up his majority.
Given that we want to proceed with a reshuffle immediately after the approval of the Budget Law, where to intervene? This is the dilemma, the knot on which the aims of the “timeless climbers” in state power could run aground. 5Stelle, Pd and Iv would like to shore up prestigious positions such as those of vice president of the Council, an elegant way to keep Conte's "excesses" at bay, perhaps with the entry of Nicola Zingaretti and the same Matteo Renzi. A scenography that Conte does not like, however, who does not want to repeat the error of Count 1, when he had to dodge the blows of his two deputies, Di Maio e Salvini.
In the meantime, Conte, to secure his future, had the constituencies redesigned to make voting practicable even with the current law, despite the referendum. The point is what to talk about reshuffle would mean that the Government is in crisis, a word that is not meant to be fed to the media, would be devastating for the government's action in full health emergency and would decree the failure of the Super I. count.
The least painless way would be that the ministers who have been in the "crosshairs" of criticism for some time resign spontaneously: a wish that would hardly come true in reality. Let's talk about the transport owner Paola De Micheli and that of the Work Nunzia Catalfo, not to mention the Azzolina to Instruction. The aims of the Democratic Party have even revealed themselves to the Ministry of Economic Development to put Andrea Orlando instead of the pentastellato Stephen Patuanelli. Another non-secondary aspect is that the possible entry of Zingaretti to the government, to the vice presidency of the Council or to the Interior instead of Lamorgese, would result in his resignation to the Lazio Region. This operation is considered high-risk because it could hand over the sixteenth region to the center-right in an electoral round which, if done now, could be, polls in hand, albeit not very favorable to the opposition.
A reshuffle to important ministries would unequivocally open to a government crisis, Conte would have to resign and go up to the Hill to receive another mandate, an elusive "Count ter". The Apulian lawyer should, therefore, pass through Parliament for trust where the pitfalls are many even if now well hidden by smiles and pats on the back. The only certainty is that the President Mattarella, in unsuspecting times, he had already announced that in the event of changes to important ministries a parliamentary passage would be mandatory.
Conte has a ace in the sleeve, on his side he has the pandemic that allows him to stall and keep the forces of the majority at bay, because to the sound of Dpcm it will be necessary to work without hesitation and distractions on the distribution plan of anti-covid vaccines and the subsequent administration.
M5S, Pd, Iv and maybe even the Italians are under "Check mate".
