Conte’s tricks (tossed about by Renzi) annoy Mattarella
What is really happening between the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, and the Head of State, Sergio Mattarella, after the resignation of the ministers of Italia Viva announced by Matteo Renzi
THE CEFFONE OF RENZI A CONTE
More than the resignation personally announced at the end by Matteo Renzi himself of his two ministers and undersecretary to materialize a de facto crisis that has been going on for months – which certainly did not surprise the head of state, having even bet on it according to the ironic representation that he has made the cartoonist of the Foglio – to understand what is brewing in the pot you have to look at the Quirinale. Where not by chance, in view of Renzi's announcement, the Prime Minister went up yesterday "at lunchtime", Marzio Breda told Corriere della Sera , coming out quite different from how he got there: with less prosopopoeia , willing to open what he had closed the day before practically warning: never again with that one.
MATTARELLA SU CONTE MOODS AND MOODS
Evidently Mattarella, already impatient of his own for "the uncertainty", as he made it known, which has been weighing on the political situation for too long, had made it clear to his guest that he had set out on a too bumpy road with that proclaimed intention of surrender of the accounts in the Senate to replace the Renzians in the majority with a handful of refugees from the opposition and surroundings, so-called "responsible" since the times when Silvio Berlusconi used them. Which in 2010 was thus saved from a crisis even prepared by the President of the Chamber Gianfranco Fini. "Mattarella – recalled Breda – has always evoked the need for solid majorities with a very clear perimeter, otherwise any government risks being built on sand".
THE RESIGNATIONS OF ITALIA VIVA
Not even Renzi wants to hear about "buildings on the sand", who said so in the press conference on the resignation of his two ministers, which was significantly opened with words of trust towards the Head of State. In whose New Year's message, on the other hand, the senator from Scandicci, or from Rignano, now portrayed by Vauro Senesi on the front page of the Fatto Quotidiano as a "variant" of Covid 19, had already hastened to totally recognize himself, as if to hook you the rope of his climb on the face of the crisis.
THE RETURN OF POLITICAL SCALFARI ON REPUBLIC
Now, with Renzi's willingness to negotiate, without however excluding a change at Palazzo Chigi, Conte is "in considerable difficulty" also by admission of his admirer Eugenio Scalfari , who today came down to Repubblica from the heights of philosophy to deal with political squabbles.
WHAT WILL COUNT
The headlines are wasted on the problematic position of the Prime Minister. However, unlike what was done in the so-called first Republic, as Breda pointed out in his article from the Colle , he has not yet resigned, indeed planning some meetings of the Council of Ministers for the launch of urgent measures.
IMPATIENT MATTARELLA
In a supplement of patience Mattarella awaits the developments of the situation, and perhaps also of Conte's moods. He probably shares the urgency of the measures in the pipeline, including the new budget gap necessary to finance other interventions for those affected by the viral pandemic, which meanwhile continues to claim victims. But sooner or later, if Conte were to cunningly postpone his resignation, or other clarification initiatives, I fear that the head of state will burst out, as Breda made it clear at the end of his correspondence from the Quirinale, And in a sensational way, as only patients , tolerant and the like they manage to do when, in fact, they blur, even at the cost of being mistaken for crazy.
