Renzi Rottama Conte
What Matteo Renzi said and what did he make to understand after the interview with the head of state, Sergio Mattarella, for consultations
"No to an assignment to Conte now, yes to an exploratory mandate to another personality".
Matteo Renzi would have said this at the Quirinale, according to what sources of Italia Viva reported to the press agencies .
So there is a veto on Conte for Renzi.
On the other hand, after being received by the head of state, Sergio Mattarella, Renzi used tranchant words towards the premier's moves, albeit without mentioning him: harsh criticism against the hunt for individual parliamentarians to keep their place at Palazzo Chigi, as well as for the lack of response di Conte to the letter in which Italia Viva weeks ago listed wishes, requests and suggestions on the government's action.
The former premier, in essence, asked for political recognition and legitimacy before returning to the table of the old majority: do you want us or is there a veto against us since someone considers us unreliable ?, is the question posed by the Renzians .
For this reason, Renzi's party, in order to return to the majority, asks "first an exploratory mandate to another personality": the president of the Chamber, Roberto Fico (M5s), according to journalistic rumors.
Only in this way, they say from Italia Viva, can the Renzians understand if Pd, M5s and Leu want them at the table. And, only later, all solutions would be open without foreclosures on names.
Always the sources of Italia Viva have specified: “We are not yet available for the assignment to Conte. First of all it is necessary to clarify politically whether there is a majority. If there is not a government of the president is fine for us ”.
The former prime minister, according to Fatto Quotidiano , "held a real meeting".
In fact, Renzi's intervention was out of the ordinary given the classic climate of consultations: usually we limit ourselves to summarizing, with a certain institutional grace, what was referred to the President of the Republic.
But it must be said that it denotes an institutional rudeness to treat and receive opposition parliamentarians – as the President of the Council, however resigned, did – to convince them no one knows what arguments to pass in the new, constituting majority.
Is there therefore a veto by Renzi on Conte? "I think we have to adapt to the Latin adage 'Nomina sunt consequentia rerum', names are consequent to things", Renzi replied to journalists.
First you need to understand where you are going and how you are going, or in which car, Renzi said with a metaphor. Only after – concluded the leader of Italia Viva – it is decided who will be the driver.
While for M5s, Pd and Leu the driver can not be Conte.
The stalemate continues.
