Because Salvini and Berlusconi are also studying Draghi
What is said in the center-right of the government (Lega and Forza Italia) about Draghi, Conte, Di Maio and Letta
Perhaps, according to mischievous observers of the things of the Palazzo, Mario Draghi calling into question also the League had to counterbalance the government balance in order to try to recover the Five Stars and also send a signal of reassurance to the Democratic Party, whose secretary Enrico Letta, who yesterday met, today will bring together the parliamentary groups. Letta had remained silent for a couple of days about the tearing of the grillini. Just them, his uncomfortable allies of the so-called "wide field". A silence that could not go unnoticed. But this inevitably generated irritation in the center-right, which claims its centrality on a par with the others in the executive of all or almost all.
The premier, after having launched his counter-ultimatum to Giuseppe Conte, warning that "with ultimatums" the government cannot work and would no longer have "its sense of existing", after reiterating that there will not be another Draghi government without pentastellati, he counterbalanced by calling the League into question.
While not naming it, he issued a warning against "the havoc, the terrible things announced for September". A parallelism that could not, however, please Matteo Salvini, who replied immediately making it clear that "we are serene, loyal, respectable people who do not send letters (reference to Conte, ed ), but our loyalty is not with drug free. Our bonhomie has probably been misinterpreted. The League has been responsible and loyal for a year and a half ”.
In essence, Salvini implicitly reproached the premier for not having exercised the moral suasion necessary to block the parliamentary initiative on cannabis and Ius scholae against the Democratic Party and the left, "divisive issues that are not part of the government agenda", he always said. Salvini asked for it to be removed and, reiterating the favorable vote also in the Senate on the Aid decree, he re-launched by asking for the budget variance, fiscal peace and tax cuts, without which there will be no minimum wage or maximum wage, for cope with the difficult economic situation.
And Silvio Berlusconi, who, in agreement with Salvini, first asked Draghi to verify the majority, to put an end to the "blackmail logic" and "electoral advantage" of the Five Stars, leaked, as some sites report, that he is not "interested in armchairs", so at this point if the Five Stars insist, if the picture does not come together, "go to the vote" and he warned: "Never again in the majority with the grillini".
Salvini limited himself to saying in front of the cameras that, if tomorrow in the Senate (where the vote of confidence coincides with that on the Aid decree) the pentastellati will tear, it will be a novelty to take note of. The Northern League leader is not going to be put in the shoes of the spoiler after having voted on all the measures of the national emergency government and having also paid a high price in terms of consensus. And even Berlusconi had already pointed out in yesterday's note that this government "was born out of our sense of responsibility, because Forza Italia and the center-right would have prevailed if they had gone to elections".
In short, the center-right of the government, a decisive shareholder on a par with the others in the majority, is not there to play the part of the spectator in a film whose protagonist seems to be all biased to the left, in a matter of internal relations and disputes, electoral chases, between Cinquestelle, Pd, Luigi Di Maio and any new splinters who will follow him.
The national emergency executive was not born as a privileged terrain of the more or less wide field of the Democratic Party, yesterday called into question by the number two of Cav Antonio Tajani, in an interview with Il Giornale , for not having tried to stop Conte in the tear in the Chamber where the Five Stars did not vote on the Aid decree. And Matteo Renzi also made his voice heard asking for a government without the Five Stars at this point.
This morning Conte reunites his family. Another penultimatum?
Berlusconi in an interview with La Stampa says that you can go on even without The Five Stars and calls the Democratic Party "with a sense of responsibility". But the Cav also states that Forza Italia "is ready to go to the vote" if the picture does not come together.
Salvini at a press conference this morning: “Silvio is a friend. I haven't read the interview yet. No to attempts by the Democratic Party to change the rules of the game, such as the electoral law, at the last minute; we are there if the government goes ahead on the issues of the country: taxes, security, pensions ”. But if the Five Stars do not vote the Aid decree tomorrow in the Senate, “let the people speak again. I agree on this with my Florentine namesake (Renzi, ed ) who said: if you have to go on with the rigmarole, it's better to vote ”.
In short, Salvini agrees with Draghi on this: this government is the last of the legislature. However, sources in Via Bellerio affirm: “the League does not wish for the crisis, there are others who are doing and undoing, wasting time. This way we cannot go on ”.
The ball to Conte and what will remain of the Five Stars.
