What happens in the caravanserai of the 5 Star Movement
The boils in the 5 Star Movement between regional elections and relations with the Democratic Party
Very effective, if you allow, the cartoon by Stefano Rolli on the first page of the 19th century , in Genoa, in view of the elections the day after tomorrow. Which will most likely mark the defeat of the only regional alliance in Liguria between the grillini and the Democratic Party, according to the wishes of Giuseppe Conte and Nicola Zingaretti. They will therefore have very little to be pleased about in the face of the announced thud of the journalist of the Fatto Quotidiano Ferruccio Sansa, a candidate against the confirmation of the outgoing governor Giovanni Toti, of the center-right.
“The vote is not a test for the government. It is a tampon ”, it is said in the cartoon by Rolli knowing full well how anxious the tampon is in these times of coronavirus. Anxiety, for the government and the Giallorossi majority that supports it, has become panic in Puglia after an intervention made by Alessandro Di Battista, Davide Casaleggio's favorite in the race to lead the grillino movement, against the outgoing governor Michele Emiliano. In favor of which Zingaretti thought that the so-called "useful vote" of the pentastellati could play. For whose candidate at the top of the region Luigi Di Maio had spent with visits and rallies in recent days without attacking Emiliano, who had therefore hoped for the possibility of some help behind the facade of the competition, in a party game designed to avert the victory of Raffaele Fitto, of the center right.
Against Di Battista's even anti-mafia rally, and the underlying line against national political equilibrium, voices have been raised by Corriere della Sera within the Grillino movement itself. Which has now become a caravanserai with which the Prime Minister has become accustomed to living together, due to his arrival and stay at Palazzo Chigi, but which risks overwhelming him after the elections on Sunday and Monday. And this especially if the referendum on parliamentary seat cuts practically imposed by the grillini in Parliament on government allies, in the first and second round, should also end badly. A growing number of no votes has emerged among electors and prestigious exponents of parties formally deployed on the yes front. Which could hardly be enough, to get out well, a victory on points, instead of the coat of no imagined when the cuts passed in the last parliamentary vote with the opposition of only 14 deputies.
Among the latest arrivals on the front of the no, while Giuseppe Conte returned to spend himself for the yes talking to journalists, there was that of the senator for life Liliana Segre, of which they will have some difficulties in the drafting of the Fatto Quotidiano to mount the photo in some other manifesto of wanted or unworthy, accomplices of the "strong powers" at work against the government. "Parliament is not just a cost" to be cut, warned the senator, to save only one coffee for each Italian not even a day but a year.
Even Mario Segni, Mariotto for friends, protagonist of many referendums, made himself heard three days before the appointment with the polls to warn in the supplement of Friday of the Republic that "this time I say no". So also announced the director of the Press Massimo Giannini, forced to this decision by the anti-parliamentarian and anti-political spirit given to their reform by the grillini. Who have thus also obtained this title of Stefano Folli's editorial on Repubblica : “The referendum is a vote on the 5S”, the now journalistic acronym of the pentastellates.
