The 5-star convulsions between Crimi, Di Battista, Fico and Bonafede
Fico's mandate, Crimi's words, Di Battista's threats and Bonafede's uncertain future to Justice …
The perimeter of the sub-consultations entrusted by the President of the Republic to the President of the Chamber speaks for itself. The "national reconciliation" hoped for by someone was greatly reduced when Giuseppe Conte resigned himself to the government verification demanded with particular insistence by the usual Matteo Renzi, with less vigor than the equally usual Nicola Zingaretti, and began to manage it with a fear and a ambiguities such as to allow those with a certain experience of politics to foresee the crisis. From "national" it has become, or is becoming if we want to take precautions for the objective unpredictability of so many protagonists and actors of the crisis, the reconciliation or salvation, if you prefer, of the Giallorossi majority which took place by surprise in the summer of 2019.
One could even breathe a sigh of relief for how things had turned out when Renzi withdrew the delegation of his Italia Viva from the government and Conte did the offended, avoided resignation and proposed to "asphalt" in a few days, as the spokesman Rocco Casalino, the ambitious challenger collecting in the Senate for a vote of confidence many "willing", "responsible", "patriots" and anything else to leave to the opposition and split the previously decisive Renzian group.
Given the failure of the search for help, we would have had an even tighter, and therefore fake, reconciliation. We would have had to get used to living ordinarily, not exceptionally as happened at other times in the history of the Republic, with a minority government because it has only a relative majority in one of the branches of Parliament. Now, if Fico's meetings end positively by Tuesday, we can at least count on the restoration of the absolute majority. In which Conte, if he really manages to make his third government or Renzi will not be able to prevent him from doing so with other moves of the horse on his chessboard, he will have to resign himself to a living Italy that is intact and decisive as before, if not more because of the risk that some Grillini senators in revolt do not allow themselves to be persuaded to moderation and therefore contest trust.
The restoration of some order or quiet in the 5 Star Movement remains the most delicate part, even if less visible or less declared, of the exploratory mission led by the not surprisingly Grillino President of the Chamber. Who formally put his party colleagues – or almost party – on the same level as the others, listening to them on the other side of the table in the Montecitorio room adapted to meetings with anti-Covid measures. But the explorations could take place more behind the scenes than in front of the scenes. Denying it would only be a useless exercise in hypocrisy.
It is certain that the regent Vito Crimi already after the first official meeting with Fico, at the exit, went beyond the opening to Renzi in the consultations at the Quirinale, which had also provoked the threatening reactions of the various Di Battista, Lezzi and Morra below. the 5 stars. He excluded from the list of questions, so to speak, divisive but unavailable in government negotiations, that of justice. It limited them to the confirmation of the "indisputable" Conte at Palazzo Chigi and the rejection of the European credits known with the initials of the Mes for the strengthening of the national health service. Well, if justice can be discussed without preclusions, it will be hard for even grillino Alfonso Bonafede to obtain confirmation from the keeper .
