All the inordinate passions of the Fatto Quotidiano di Travaglio for Conte

All the inordinate passions of the Fatto Quotidiano di Travaglio for Conte

What Marco Travaglio's Fatto Quotidiano whispers to the outgoing Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte

Now, having failed the attempt to neutralize it with the "willing" pursued in the Senate, more than the "board games" in Montecitorio, as the manifesto defined the meetings between the parties wanted by the President of the House on the program, Giuseppe Conte is hanging on words of Matteo Renzi as to an oracle. And the Tuscan oracle expressed in an electronic letter to the militants, sympathizers and friends the "hope" in the formation "within the week" of the new government. Which – he added or warned – “will have to rise to the challenges of this period”. In which emergencies are wasted, being of a health, social and economic nature, as Sergio Mattarella recalled at the end of his consultations. But personally I would also add an even institutional crisis, having for example become the de facto Parliament from two-chamber to single-chamber.

On the most important measures, starting with the budget and ending with the decrees imposed by the various urgencies of the country, either the Chamber or the Senate, depending on the occasion, but mainly the Senate, where the majority numbers are usually dancers, is forced by habitual use of confidence to ratify the vote expressed in the first instance by the other branch of Parliament. The President of the Senate Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellati complained about it several times, even with a certain harshness or vivacity, but the main recipient of the protests shrugged, mistaking the lady for a pain in the ass, not by chance coming from the center-right opposition . The ideal would have been the origin of the President of the Senate from the Lega of Matteo Salvini or from the Brothers of Italy of Giorgia Meloni, and not from the Forza Italia of that Silvio Berlusconi who in certain passages of this crisis was dreamed of as a possible liberator from half Pd to a loud voice and on one side even the grillini in a very low, almost imperceptible voice.

That hope of the Tuscan oracle in the formation of a new government within this week, since it is now a few days, has however made at least some of Conte's friends think that there are good possibilities, despite certain appearances, and other ambiguous signals of the same oracle, that the resigning Prime Minister be charged with forming his third government. In which, perhaps, Conte will have to resign himself to having less room for maneuver and to have other and more painful toads swallowed by the movement that brought him to Palazzo Chigi, that of the 5 Stars, but he will still be the Prime Minister, less obsessed at least for a few months from the ghost of Mario Draghi. That Renzi takes the pleasure from time to time to quote and praise coinciding with the wishes and solicitations of other political parties, including the hated Salvini.

If they are roses or little roses for Conte they will bloom in these days, albeit out of season, at the end of a crisis that the authoritative senator of the Democratic Party Luigi Zanda, in an interview with Repubblica, defined "the most delicate and difficult", among the "Many" which he "witnessed", because "the problems of the country are profound and the conditions of Italy in full pandemic are serious". But now at the Fatto Quotidiano the fundamentalist contians, let's call them that, have crossed the Rubicon and have also started to prefer early elections, like the center-right, urging the Prime Minister to "challenge" the polls, after having uselessly challenged the Senate betting on the aforementioned "willing".
