Will the “Builders”, or rather the “Masons”, save the Conte government?

With the interim on the ministries of Family and Agricultural Policies, Conte announces the challenge to the OK Cotral: in the Senate, the votes will be counted.

The senators were 18, but we need to collect at least a dozen. Once they were called "Responsible", now Conte wants to call them "Builders", but the best building term would be "Masons", due to the way in which this senatorial flock was collected.

Will the "building government" have the trustee of the Upper House? Maurizio Gasparri, a veteran who knows how to count, made the following hypotheses:

• the Senators are theoretically 321, but Napolitano no longer takes part in the sessions and both Rubbia and Piano have not attended him for months. So the actual number can be set at 318-7;
• therefore the majority can be had with 159 Senators. According to the center-right politician Conte added enough bricks and mortar to reach 159-160, a number that guarantees a majority, but not solid. A government to survive those weeks or a few months, with a heterogeneous majority, at the mercy of quarrels and covid.

Mattarella will be satisfied with this crazy and precarious situation. Previously he always affirmed that the majorities should be solid and homogeneous, but, in the end, "In the name of Europe", he accepted Count 2's pateracchio. The President has always proved to be the most solid ally of Foggia, abnormal political role. For now, he has authorized the attempted pateracchio, a disastrous solution for Italy. Unfortunately, the Quirinale is more interested in the stability of the elites than the well-being of the Italians.
