(by Massimiliano D'Elia) Yesterday Giuseppe #Conte flew to Brussels to meet the other heads of government and discuss Europe and treat part of Italy's fate, as always under the magnifying glass because of its high public debt .
Yesterday even the "spread" returned to take the scene by jumping to the over 290 base points. At the end of the day, after the declarations of #Moscovici, more peaceful - ... I don't want to sanction Italy ... - towards the beautiful country, the value of the same came back to the 289 base points, little stuff.
While Giuseppe #Conte was going to Brussels, the "premier in pectore" Matteo #Salvini dictated the government agenda in Italy. Security decree bis, immediately to the council of ministers, Tav, Flat Tax and Autonomies, to be released as soon as possible. But the most important announcement that took away the smile and the audience from the 5S was: "… .30 billion euros for a fixed tax of 15 percent for companies and workers with income up to 50 thousand euros (gross)…." .
Matteo Salvini said it his way, with an improvised live broadcast on facebook from the Viminale's roof. He stated that there will be no VAT increases and that the related safeguard clauses will not be paid. To do this, the EU constraints will be reviewed in order to break the 3 percent of the deficit. Salvini also said that the economic thermometer of a country can be read from the numbers referring to unemployment and not from other numbers. The policy of investments and tax relief evoked by the Northern League leader will encourage recruitment by lowering unemployment. "The more people earn, the more they spend and the more they pay taxes."
Di Maio, now, attacked from all fronts: "I ask that my role as political leader be put to the vote of the members on Rousseau, because it is right for you to express yourselves. The only ones I have to answer to for my work". Luigi Di Maio writes it on the blog of the stars.
The question users will have to answer is: Do you confirm Luigi Di Maio as political leader of the 5 Stars Movement? Voting will be opened by 10 at the 20 of tomorrow 30 May, explains Di Maio on the blog.
Giuseppe Conte
Before embarking yesterday on the flight to Brussels, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte replied to reporters: "I don't feel like a police station. I will ask Salvini for a full public trust. Otherwise I will tell him that I am not available to stay. If you want to bring the country to Europe, take on your responsibilities. Do it himself, I won't do it. I am the guarantor of the respect and implementation of the contract". "We need the re-launch of the government, after such a fierce and intense campaign. The relaunch takes place through a serious political debate, deepened even if it should take a few days, or it will be a crisis. A long comparison, not just a few hours, to establish the new rules of coexistence and decide how and if to go ahead ".
Giuseppe Conte, at the moment launches signals for a sought-after relaxation. He waits for the three-way match with Di Maio and Salvini, to test, looking into his eyes, whether or not there are conditions to continue. Today in the morning the meeting only with Salvini.
5S implosion
This evening there will be a meeting between the grillini parliamentarians.
Meantime Matteo Salvini "Calm" the allies by voice: I do not ask for half an extra chair, nor half a presidency, but to work quickly with the priority of reducing taxes".
Among the crickets, instead, the "rags" fly. Many want Di Maio's head.
Di Battista came out into the open: "..will decide the basis on the web ... and on Rixi there is no going back We need to return to a more firm movement on the basic principles, above all on the environment. Because on the Tap and on the drills, for example, he gave up too much. All this while the League on its identity issues, from migrants to taxes, seemed to go as straight as a train. Returning to such a place would perhaps mean going to early elections. But this, for now, remains another story".
Even if Salvini has never asked for a government coupon with a reshuffle, this time it could be the same grillini to propose it. In the balance there would be Toninelli, Trenta, Tria and Bonafede.
The moods of the pentastellates
"Di Maio's generosity to put together three or four tasks must be reviewed. The M5S, to restart, needs h24 leadership, we have to move from the ego to us", so Gianluigi Paragone on Il Fatto Quotidiano.
Thus Primo Di Nicola who resigned as vice president of the Senate group: "The only way I know is to encourage a genuinely democratic discussion of what we are and where we want to go. Once it would have been said that, out of respect for my party comrades, I will set out what I think before in the newspapers".
Carla Ruocco of the directory: "We must look ahead, make amends for our mistakes. Greater listening to the territories, sharing of choices, enough with the figure of a single person in charge".
Nicola Morra, president of the Antimafia commission: "The Movement is dialogue and comparison. My proposal is to find 5-7-9 members of 5 Stars, chosen with all the activists, able to find the synthesis between all of us, elected and not. We must build, not look for faults".
Gianluca Vacca"The worst thing that can be done now is getting caught up in sterile and destructive hysteria".
Roberta Lombardi there is not: "After a defeat the changes are put into the account".
