Trust in the Senate for Conte: who lost and who won
What really happened in the Senate with the skimpy confidence in Conte? The italics of Michele Arnese, director of Start
Matteo Renzi lost, Giuseppe Conte didn't win.
Renzi did not want to strengthen programs and the executive structure, but tried to scrape the yellow-red government to build an executive from scratch perhaps with another prime minister (Mario Draghi?).
The attempt, however, failed, perhaps because the leader of Italia Viva thought he could find an edge in the Pd led by Nicola Zingaretti and perhaps in sectors of the 5 Star Movement that are not enthusiastic about the lawyer Conte.
Does this mean that with the limited confidence in the Senate (156 yes, 140 no, 16 abstentions) the Prime Minister can rejoice?
No.
Can the government be considered more robust if it passes from a composition of 4 (with Italia Viva) to a composition of 3 without Italia Viva?
No.
Also because in the parliamentary committees the majority M5s-Pd-Leu will dance.
Enrico Zanetti, former Deputy Minister of Economy and Finance, says: “Come on with Conte? Okay, but then when you go below in the budget committee and pass amendments that, for example, reset the 4.7 billion cashback allocated on 2021 and 2022 for those who already pay by credit card and use them to finance 4.7 billion more of refreshments to those who are not cashing a euro, perhaps you realize that you are not governing anything ".
Nothing is what Conte has also collected in the Chambers.
In view of the votes of confidence in Parliament, the chronicles of the quirinalists basically said: if Italia Viva parades, the solidity of the majority can be ensured by a new group resulting from the adhesions of neo-contians now members of other groups.
It is no coincidence that Conte appealed to the pro-European parliamentarians of the liberal, popular and socialist tradition to strengthen the government majority.
But a new group has not been created and what it has collected in the Senate – to balance the abstention of Italia Viva – is the yes of the force worker Maria Rosaria Rossi and little more.
Of course: scattered Catholics are giving a lot of work – under the auspices of many bishops of the CEI of Bassetti – to orchestrate a Contian movement on the basis of the one cultivated for some time by former senator Ivo Tarolli (very close to the former governor of the Banca d ' Italy, Antonio Fazio) that even before being born really already has different shades, not to say currents .
Of course, there are a few places available to assign (the ministries of the Family and Agriculture, first of all), but the "new political project" coveted and evoked by the Prime Minister in Parliament can arise from those who have not voted to trust Conte in the moment of greatest difficulty of the former sovereign and populist lawyer?
