Count irreplaceable or at the terminus? Debate between newspapers
As Repubblica and Fatto Quotidiano see the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte
Today Giuseppe Conte's race in Genoa to inaugurate, exactly two years after the tragedy that cost the lives of 43 people, the "clearing of memory" set up in their honor under the bridge that it replaced is likely to translate into a metaphorical and personal joke that collapsed. And on which the traffic of recovery, hope and pride of a city and of the whole of Italy flows intense and festive, by night and by day.
To read the news and political analyzes of Repubblica , which indicated him "now weaker" in a background signed by Claudio Tito, the Prime Minister could surprise the designated victim of an agreement taken behind him, or on his head , between the secretary of the Democratic Party Nicola Zingaretti , Beppe Grillo and Luigi Di Maio to complete the governing turn of the 5 Star Movement. Whose militants were suddenly called yesterday to the usual digital consultation to eliminate the statutory limit of the two elective mandates at the local level, for now, given the urgency of the regional and municipal vote on September 20, and to allow agreements with other parties, starting with the Democratic Party.
Against or suspicious in this direction until a few days ago, the former head of the grillino movement Luigi Di Maio, who has retained all his visibility from the post of Foreign Minister, never losing an opportunity to intervene on all issues of internal politics and on the events of his own party, he would have converted to the idea of the extension, in all senses and at all levels, of the tormented and forced alliance with the Democratic Party in an anti-law function, believing that at this point he could claim the right to manage it personally , without passing through Conte. That would have shown too often that he worked for himself more than for the movement that brought him to Palazzo Chigi. “The underground war between Di Maio and Conte is now also being fought on this level”, wrote Claudio Tito.
With this analysis by the editorialist of Repubblica they may not agree with Fatto Quotidiano , for which Conte is an irreplaceable myth. But curiously, the two newspapers find themselves in their headlines on the front page to underline the weight and role of the foreign minister in this digital transition underway, so to speak, in the grillino movement. “The turning point – Di Maio. Alliance with the Democratic Party ”, is the title of the Republic . “Di Maio. “Let's vote yes for Raggi and alliances” is the title of the newspaper directed by Marco Travaglio.
In short, Conte, as I mentioned, risks being really under the bridge, and not just in Genoa. Nor can the decision announced by the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office to open and close at the same time the complained investigations with appeals and complaints from private individuals against him and a lot of ministers for delays can be of total comfort on a personal and political level, the contradictions and so on in the management of the viral emergency.
Probably the request for dismissal will be accepted by the so-called Roman court of ministers, which acts as judge of the preliminary investigations on the so-called ministerial crimes. But it will be necessary to see how the investigations underway in Bergamo on the red areas of Alzano and Nembro will end: those that the twice former director Paolo Mieli dealt with yesterday with questions almost like an investigator in an editorial in Corriere della Sera . Question by question, I wonder if the investigators in Bergamo will allow themselves to be dictated by those in Rome.
