What is whispered at the Quirinale about the government reshuffle?

If you read and reread the article by the quirinalist of the Corriere della Sera Mario Breda, you are not so sure about the "doubts of Colle on the government reshuffle" highlighted in the title. Indeed…

Those "Colle's doubts about the government reshuffle" announced on the entire front page of Corriere della Sera , and relaunched with much less evidence by the manifesto as a "frost" of the Quirinale "on the 2021 reshuffle", expected, feared and so on. the day after the approval of the budget, they must have made both Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte breathe a sigh of relief, who still denies against any evidence that someone in the Giallorossi majority has really asked him for such an operation, and the head of the grillina delegation to the government, the Minister of Justice Alfonso Bonafede. Who has just formalized, let's say, his no to an operation that could compromise degrees and so on, being the condition of his movement quite volatile, almost as much as the smoke from electronic cigarettes that has enveloped him in the controversies of the last few days , like any small party of the so-called First Republic that let itself be financed by the oilman on duty.

Quick as usual, Aldo Grasso at the bottom of the same first page of Corriere della Sera has embroidered on it, so to speak, asking Beppe Grillo, friends and associates not to end up as "smoke sellers" even more than they have already done with their lack of palingenetic revolutions, starting with the defeat of poverty with the so-called citizenship income. On which the real or presumed experts of the branch have recognized self-critical considerations, belated but still appreciable, in a kind of essay entrusted by the former head of the 5 Star movement Luigi Di Maio to the generosity and hospitality of the Sheet .

However, I do not think that they felt the same satisfaction, reading about the "doubts" of Colle, at the top of the Democratic Party, where reporters and background writers of the Republic , for example, not exactly the last Italian newspaper, continued to collect news and rumors about discontent towards the Prime Minister, especially after having learned that, with the air of not wanting to centralize the preparation of plans for the use of European funds for the recovery, he is preparing a so-called direction room of no less than three hundred people. That the newspaper of the Berlusconi family, just publicly praised for a sense of responsibility and courage by the head of the delegation of the Democratic Party to the government, the Minister of Culture Dario Franceschini, has already dismissed perhaps not wrongly as a "bandwagon".

On the other hand, if you read and reread the article by the quirinalist of Corriere Mario Breda on the doubts of the Colle so useful to Conte and to the grillini, you will find more conditional than usual, and above all a contradiction I would say unusual for the usual meticulousness of the reporter. Who, in particular, on the one hand writes that the reshuffle operation could complicate rather than untie the knots to reconcile the fight against the pandemic and economic recovery, but on the other hand he wonders if the forces of the majority "fully believe in the formula in the basis on which they have so far chosen to be together and which already shows many weaknesses ”. But then what are we talking about, of grace? To which and how many other “frailties” must we prepare and resign ourselves?
