EXTRACT FROM THE ARTICLE OF THE PRESS ON MATTARELLA AND RENZI

Stop the machines, first the Plan to be sent to Europe is approved and then the crux of the government crisis can be tackled again: put simply, this is the meaning of the stop coming from the highest spheres of the Republic, or from President Sergio Mattarella, to the leader of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi. Although he had in mind to have his ministers Teresa Bellanova and Elena Bonetti resigned yesterday, he had to listen to what was much more than a warning. And since when the head of state exercises a moral suasion it is difficult to ignore it, the result is that for at least a whole week, the government will have to remain with the full ranks. Because – as senior representatives who operate in institutional buildings explain – as soon as the ministers of IV were to resign, the crisis would formally open and the premier would also be forced to resign: and Parliament should block his work.

So one thing is certain, the revised and corrected Recovery plan will be approved by the Council of Ministers (apparently on Wednesday) and then it will rush to the Houses, with the hope of all that it will be voted on within a week. Renzi must stick to the institutional deadlines and curb the excesses of Bellanova. «Time is really up and this experience is archived for me. Come this blessed Recovery Plan, give us the time to evaluate it and talk to the Council of Ministers ». And it is on a mega agreement, all to be seen, that the threads of a thin negotiation are moving that could mature, at least in the hopes of the Dems. Committed to silence and cajol both Renzi and Conte: whose belligerent outings are not very welcome. "The Democratic Party – they explain from the most exposed trench of the Senate – is convinced as a whole that the only point of reunification of the fortunes of the majority is a Count and not a reshuffle of the current government".

SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW OF THE NEWSPAPER WITH SILVIO BERLUSCONI

"I am not so convinced that this government will fall, but if it will fall the most likely thing seems to me another executive within the same majority." This was stated by Forza Italia leader Silvio Berlusconi in an interview with Il Giornale .

But "this time it is I who say 'hurry up' – continues Berlusconi – I find it frankly disheartening that, while the pandemic kills victims every day, the economy is on its knees, the country is blocked, there is a vaccination campaign of proportions never seen to be organized, a credible plan must be prepared for the use of the Recovery Fund , Italian politics should be concentrated on parliamentary maneuvers, palace tactics, discussions within the majority parties ”. The former prime minister recalls the Recovery proposal presented by FI, "we have offered our collaboration without conditions and without wanting to be involved in government activity in any way".

For the Forza Italia leader, “the most linear way out would naturally be to give the word back to the Italians. I fear that the Covid emergency makes it problematic. To go to the vote it would be necessary to find an agreement between the parties, before dissolving the Chambers, to take some urgent decisions together "from the Recovery Fund to fight the pandemic," the Head of State, if necessary, will keep him present ".

Berlusconi then assures that he does not fear the elections: "I am calm about the result of FI". "Our goal is to go back to being the leading party of the center-right" he says and continues: "Meloni and Salvini are two purebred politicians", but "we are the future, not just a glorious past as someone tries to insinuate ". As for US affairs, "I can only reiterate that Trump's right will never be our right, while acknowledging Trump's successes in economic policy and also in some sectors of foreign policy, such as the Middle East".
