Here’s how Conte will scrap Renzi
What will be the outcome of the parliamentary passage for the government? The path accepted by Mattarella marks a victory for Conte in the first half of the match of the crisis, according to the political notist Francesco Damato. Here because
Watch out for the Quirinale, I said . And from the Quirinale came the surprise that I would call the “oxymoron”.
The impatient Sergio Mattarella, worried about the long "uncertainty" of the political framework due to the tensions in the majority that resulted in the resignation of the two Renzian ministers, had the patience to agree to the path proposed by the Prime Minister. Who has not resigned but has asked and obtained groped a showdown with Renzi using "fiduciary" communications to the Chambers.
And by "fiduciary" – explained the quirinalist Marzio Breda referring to the Corriere della Sera of the interview between the presidents of the Republic and the Council – it must be understood that the debates will have to end with a vote of confidence.
In the Chamber, according to a quickly fixed calendar, on Monday there will be no problems, since Renzian votes are not decisive for the majority.
In the Senate, where they are, it will be “yellow and red roulette”, as the manifesto has titled.
But Conte – assured Il Fatto Quotidiano , usually well informed of the moods and plans of the Prime Minister – is "optimistic" about the numbers.
In other words, he thinks he can gather all the so-called "responsible", coming from the opposition of the center-right and the surrounding area, necessary to replace the Renzians, or what will remain of them, as their compactness is also uncertain.
But let's not call them anymore, please, "responsible", given the discredit reserved in 2010 for the so-called parliamentarians, who passed from the opposition to the majority of the then Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, challenged with a motion of no confidence by a small party improvised by Gianfranco Fini in spite of his position as Speaker of the Chamber.
Now they should be called "builders" to be able to hook themselves, like Renzi with his repeated expressions of praise of Mattarella, to the New Year's message of the President of the Republic against the "destroyers".
However, the President of the Republic imposed two conditions for his oxymoron of patient impatience.
The first, already obtained, is that it is done soon, translated by Emilio Giannelli on the first page of the Corriere in a cartoon about Conte running away from the Quirinale.
The other, to be verified, is that the "builders" are not picked up in dribs and drabs, "here and there", as the Count himself the day before, coming down from the Colle after another meeting, had recognized that it could or should be done.
They will have to find themselves, as Breda explained, in a single and new group. However, in order to establish itself, the Senate needs to take on the symbol and name of a party that presented itself in the last political elections.
Renzi did so in 2019 by marrying into Riccardo Nencini's PSI, but he also declared himself among the "builders" in this circumstance.
The path accepted by Mattarella – I think, surprisingly, of Renzi, who will probably not discourage him with some statements because it would not help him, given his already strong critical exposure – certainly marks a victory for Conte in the first half of the match of a crisis that at this point it is not even known what to call it, since it was not formally opened.
It is an “all media crisis”, wrote a pleased Marco Travaglio in the Fatto Quotidiano .
It is an "incognito" crisis, the constitutionalist Michele Ainis wrote more authoritatively in Repubblica , showing however perplexity, not complacency, for the oxymoron of the Quirinale.
