How the Quirinale follows the earthquakes between the 5 stars
The tensions of the 5 Star Movement and the role of the Quirinale
At the Quirinale, of course, they did not need to learn from the newspapers, between news and background, the underground part of the war that exploded on the refounding of the 5 Star Movement and on the statute prepared if necessary by Giuseppe Conte. The personal antennas of the President of the Republic and those of his collaborators had already warned in the four months of work spent by the former Prime Minister on the construction site of the refoundation of the progressive distances that he took from the action of the Draghi government, albeit in the context of a confirmed and "loyal support". How loyal it was increasingly difficult to believe even on Colle following the comments of the most contian of newspapers such as Il Fatto Quotidiano , systematically committed to challenging the choices of the Prime Minister, accused of gradually dismantling all the things done by his predecessor to incorporate the positions of the center-right members of the majority. And this with the feared complicity of a PD only apparently or instrumentally in controversy with the Northern League leader Matteo Salvini.
Paradoxically, the more the curve of the pandemic went down, while struggling with the variations and a certain confusion in communications on vaccines, the more that the intolerance for the government went up under the five stars. And there was also the feeling at the Quirinale that we were trying to set some traps for Draghi in the period considered most suitable or safe, such as that of the so-called white semester. That from August to the end of next January, until the expiry of the presidential mandate, will protect the Chambers from the risk of early dissolution: a way out of the crisis discarded by free choice by the head of state in recent months, in the face of a pandemic yet strong and the shipwreck of Conte's attempt to form a third government, or to save the second crippled by the offensives of Matteo Renzi, but prevented from August by the Constitution in Mattarella.
It is not said, in truth, that the President of the Republic is therefore prevented during his last six months of mandate in the functions of guarantee and stimulus, and therefore forced to undergo who knows what and how many initiatives of malicious people and the like. But the maneuvers of a crisis seemed to be convinced of this, tending if not to unseat Draghi, also aware of the advantage constituted at European and world level by his presence at Palazzo Chigi, at least to interrupt his presumed privileged relationship with the League. .
President Mattarella, since yesterday on an official mission to France, has already been studying how to deal with a crisis in recent days. What somehow must have surprised him too is the help that came to him in the facts from the apparently more furious and genuine pentastellato as the founder, guarantor, elevated and so on of the Movement , namely Grillo , can be considered. That he practically cut Conte's political nails as a political leader in general, and not just as leader of the recklessly designated Movement before knowing not only his draft statutes but also, or above all, the quantity and quality of distances from a government , such as that of Draghi, for which the Genoese comedian had spent so much publicly leading the delegation of the 5 stars in person in the negotiations for its formation. Now the newspapers still foresee 15 days of "negotiation", as the Corriere headline, to quell Conte, while the Fatto Quotidiano prefer the owner who "still fights". And the struggle continues between news and desires.
