Conte’s empire is over: now Renzi, the “caregivers” and Mario Monti reign

I imagine today the celebrations in the Talk Shows: hurray Conte still has the majority. Italy's most sinister government is even more sinister and, despite this, it still has a slim majority in the Senate.

In reality, those who are not Contiano, cinquestelle, and still have some functioning neurons, realize that things have gone very differently. To obtain the number of 156, the government had to exert abnormal pressures, bordering on the democratic exercise of power and tending towards the South American dictatorship. After all the 156 was reached with;

• the vote of three senators for life, who normally do not attend the classrooms, one of which Mario Monti, had placed conditions of an unusual harshness for the Italians for their support. Since Monti then voted for confidence, did they promise an end to the weak refreshments and the guided bankruptcy of Italian companies?
• It took two former Forza Italia turncoats to be able to reach these numbers, including Maria Rosaria Rossi, often referred to as a "caregiver" of Berlusconi and who in the past had long been in the sights of "Il Fatto Quotidiano" for the " Elegant dinners ". How times change.

Congratulations, good, but also no. In the end abstentions (Renziani) and against are equal: 156 to 156. The majority does not exist when Conte actually refuses the votes of the Renzians and the Senators for life return to their limbo.

Now the “Capture Forza Italia” operation has started to create, with the Renzians, the famous “Grande Centro”. Operation that is based, more than anything else, on the current situation of Parliament and which does not realize the profound changes that have taken place in the country in the last two years and, above all, with the pandemic. That fragment of the middle class that still fed Forza Italia has definitively dissolved. The Covid crisis has created only misery and poverty, and this cuts the electoral base for this operation, beyond a few pensioners who are still linked to the figure of the Knight. In a certain sense, the inability of Conte and Gualtieri cut the legs to the political survival of his government, at least in the medium term.

But these forces are in parliament and the courtship will go on. We give credit to the Knight and also to Tajani for having contained the damage, but the other Italiot forces are without ideal or ideological basis and too caught up in power to resist for long. Of course, if they thought about re-election they would probably change their minds, but two years is just a very long time for those who live day by day. Then there are the hidden and dirty powers, such as those of the Services and the Vatican which, for the first time in an official way, were called into the field to support a government, something that hasn't been seen since the 1950s. Now there is talk of "Majority Ursula" the "All in" in order to defend power, but the Italians will certainly remain outside, and it will be a tough social and political war.
