Conte’s crickets on judicial stars

Conte's crickets on judicial stars

What Giuseppe Conte does and says. The Scratches of Damato

Among the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ he famously succeeded in infiltrating, or infiltrating, Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him for thirty denarii. Giuseppe Conte – don't call me blasphemous, please – was braver with his “small team of fifteen people”, as he himself called it when talking to the director of the press Massimo Giannini. Fifteen people armored on the blocked lists "which could guarantee us – he said – the effectiveness of our action like Cafiero De Raho, Roberto Scarpinato, Sergio Costa, Livio De Santoli". They are the four favorites, it seems to understand, two of which – the first mentioned by him, I do not think by chance – hired in politics, so to speak, at the end of their judicial career. That they will be able to continue – I fear – in another way influencing on the issues of justice the choices of what will remain after the elections of 25 September of the 5 Star Movement, which came out of the polls of 2018 even as the most voted and represented in Parliament.

The prospects, even for justice as the grillini like it, are fortunately quite different this time: perhaps still double digits, as Conte himself said in his interview with Giannini, but far from that 33 per cent unrepeatable almost five Years ago. And translated, among other things, in the passage of Alfonso Bonafede to the Ministry of Justice.

I do not think that the candidacies of relatives – wives, husbands, brothers – of parliamentarians not reappointed due to the famous limit of two terms respected for the refusal of the "guarantor" Grillo to grant exemptions will help Conte's ambitions. A movement that was supposed to revolutionize the country and open Parliament like a "can of tuna", or sardines, and is reduced to a somewhat familistic association is frankly not the best.

It may be, for heaven's sake, that the representation that Il Foglio makes today on the front page is exaggerated, telling of a “Conte pigliatutto”, who “locks himself in and meditates on the break with Grillo. Who is silent and will not campaign for the movement ”. Instead, when asked about his relations with Grillo, the former prime minister assured the director of the press that they are "very good". “In the past – he admitted – there was a moment of real confrontation and different visions. Then there was a composition, a balance was found and now we are able to collaborate ”. "We hear each other constantly," he even revealed.

An almost Leopardian quiet after the storm, in short: a quiet during which Grillo prevented Conte, among other things, from registering the movement by putting his name in the symbol.
