Conte speaks (sometimes extravagant) but does not know what he is saying
The hilarious (or painful, depending on the point of view) sortie of Giuseppe Conte on relations with the Democratic Party. The Scratches of Damato
It's okay that Beppe Grillo, as his blog testifies, is studying with the usual glee "a silent revolution" like what he calls the "Planet local", based on the fact that finally "the raw narrative of the" bigger is better ”. But I'm afraid – for him – that Giuseppe Conte is taking him too seriously this time.
The former Prime Minister, now president only of the 5 Star Movement projected on 2050, as the symbol deposited at the Viminale for the elections of 25 September of this 2022 also specifies, has not only renounced the objective which is impossible to repeat in the urns the success obtained – just think – by Luigi Di Maio in 2018 with almost 33 percent of the votes. He seems to have proposed, a little with the lists and a little, or even more, with his wavering political orientations, to bring the pentastellates even below the little more than 10 percent accredited by the polls. Smaller is even better, one could say paraphrasing Grillo.
It is now ascertained, with the latest injury he had while being interviewed by Lucia Annunziata, that Conte's ideas do not last longer than the space of time in which they are expressed: let's say half an hour, to stay at the title of the successful television program that 'hosted yesterday afternoon on Rai3.
With a photo of Enrico Letta looming over him to the point of making him a bitch Conte thus answered a question about the future, lonely or not, of his Movement after having made a majority with everyone in the last legislature and having retired, or been excluded. from the so-called “large field” with the Democratic Party for having denied confidence in Mario Draghi's government: “In politics, thinking of governing alone, even if I hope so, is unlikely. A prospect of working tomorrow with other political forces such as the Democratic Party may be there ".
However, coming out of the Annunziata television studio, where he had received an encouraging, pleased and anything else "good luck" from Minister Roberto Speranza, the former prime minister tweeted his afterthought: "I'm sorry to disappoint some headlines, some newspapers, but I think my thinking has been forced and misrepresented. In the current conditions, with the national leaders of the Democratic Party struck by the Draghi agenda, we could not even sit at the table ". Or just at a bar table to have a coffee, as in 1995 the then secretary of the Social Movement – National Alliance Gianfranco Fini said speaking of Umberto Bossi after he had brought down the first center-right government of Silvio Berlusconi. Then – just to cheer up Minister Speranza, who returned to run with the Democratic Party, if traumatized by the second statement by Conte – Fini and Bossi took much more than a cup of coffee together.
The part, so to speak, the most hilarious and politically expensive of Conte's second statement is naturally that of the alleged forcing, the alleged misrepresentation of the previous statement. The man, indeed the professor, the lawyer did everything himself, as usual. The others, including us journalists, treacherous, distracted and so on, we did not put anything of our own. The merit or demerit of this electoral gag, which gives the measure of Conte's reliability and of the confusion existing in the former majority movement, around whose crisis an almost entire legislature has developed, is all his. And it relieves the other political forces a little – all, some more and some less – from the unedifying spectacle given in the preparation of the lists, as in a carousel or in a revolving door of a hotel, with their backs always turned to an electorate to say the least. little dismay, and not surprisingly more and more abstentionist.
