Re-assignment to Conte? Bizarre. Here because

Re-assignment to Conte? Bizarre. Here because

It would be difficult to understand how a resigned head of government who has spent the last few days convincing riotous senators can be re-appointed. Rocco Todero's comment for Atlantico newspaper

Having failed the manifest attempt to put a political majority worthy of the name back on its feet in the Senate, that is, a non-colluding team that shared a defined political orientation, Professor Conte was left with nothing more than to take note of the definitive break in the relationship of trust between the Chambers and the Executive he represents.

Moreover, the week that has passed since the collapse of the majority in the Senate had to be used, in the intentions of the President of the Council of Ministers (and reasonably in those of the Colle), precisely to experiment a way to stay at Palazzo Chigi despite the defaillance of the group headed by senator of Rignano.

The resignation of Professor Conte would otherwise have been inevitable immediately after the outcome of the vote in Palazzo Madama on the evening of Tuesday 19 January.

The constitutional breviary provides for what happened: the invitation of the head of state to President Conte to remain in office for the handling of current affairs and the start of consultations to verify the possibility of the existence of a new majority before the possible unquestionable evaluation of Mattarella to dissolve the Chambers.

It is not the case to get your hands on the evaluations that belong to the President of the Republic, but it would be really difficult to understand how a resigning head of government can be re-appointed who has used the last seven days with bankruptcy results solely to convince riotous senators to find a way how to get by.

To the objection that the resignation of Conte would make a formal gesture necessary and preparatory to a change in the political structure of the new majority and the government team, it can easily be replied that a different and less farcical representation of the political theater could have foreseen in any case a reshuffle of the Executive followed by a transparent parliamentary passage.

Constitutional hygiene would therefore require the exclusion of a re-appointment by the President of the Republic of a head of government who, in quick succession, lacked a political majority in one of the two chambers and was explicitly denied the possibility of reconstructing it, even if in a , so to speak, not quite Orthodox.
