What do M5s, Pd and Leu have in mind with Draghi?

Movimento 5 Stelle, Pd and Leu have announced in the Senate the constitution of a parliamentary intergroup. But how do they coordinate if they are split inside? The Scratches of Damato

Curious, strange, incredible, as you prefer, but true: three of the at least seven groups that make up the majority in the Senate, and just today trust Mario Draghi's government, have set up a " coordination " or, at least in perspective, a " intergroup ". Who sent Giuseppe Conte's nostalgics into jujube soup and proposed himself as the essential nucleus, pilot and anything else of the "high profile" executive, of emergency, of national unity, free from any political formula previously experimented in this legislature is indicated not by a passer-by in front of the Quirinale but by the President of the Republic himself.

The three parties coordinated and projected towards the intergroup, if we do not have to give it up already, are – in order of parliamentary consistency – the 5 Star Movement, the Pd and Leu, acronym of the free and equal represented in the government even by the minister of first emergency, Health, which is Roberto Speranza. Well, none of these three parties is united internally, so it is already very clear how they can unite with each other.

From the 5 Star Movement, reporters and backstories have been counting for days how many will refuse their trust in the new government and how much will be missing from a split, after all the more or less solitary exits that have already occurred in those parts.

Of the Pd the same group leader in the Senate Andrea Marcucci, who signed the document announcing the coordination, recently exposed the opportunity or the need for a congress to clarify ideas. He is also suspected day and night of connivance with the hated Matteo Renzi, who should be, at a guess, the main opponent of the intergroup: the one who "irresponsibly" would have interrupted Conte's "magnificent" experience at the Palazzo Chigi.

Finally, it will suffice to remember that Nicola Fratoianni, the secretary of the “Italian Left” component, has already announced the vote against the Draghi government.

How such coordination can function as a glue and stimulus for the government at the same time is not frankly understood. And it will certainly not be Nicola Zingaretti , who most of all wanted this curious passage, to be able to explain it, if at least he had understood it.

It will not be a "shadow government", as Federico Geremicca explained optimistically in the Press , recalling the participation of the coordinators in the current government, but it will be shortly missing. At least it will be a continuous opportunity for distinction and division from the rest of the majority. It will in fact be a boycott of the government with respect to the purposes assigned to it by the head of state. Or it will be, according to the funereal image of the sheet , the way to "take the measurements of Draghi", as is done with the dead to prepare the coffin.

To really enjoy it remains and will remain the usual Fatto Quotidiano , happy that there is "life in the Giallorosa" and that Conte has "a side", waiting for the return to transform the photomontage quartet published on the front page of Marco Travaglio's newspaper into reality , i.e. the missed Count 3.

What would I not do to be a fly and listen and see Mattarella's reactions, forced at least in this phase to silence in public, having just closed, as far as he was concerned, a crisis that arrived on his table, moreover, with an unprecedented delay . Which made his job at least complicated.
