Draghi returns early from Madrid and Conte goes to the

Draghi is leaving the NATO summit early this evening in Rome. High tension in the government, tomorrow cdm on the bills

“No, the government won’t risk it.” Between Beppe cricket and Giuseppe With you in the end he thinks about putting things in order Mario Draghi. On the edge of the peak Born in Madrid, the prime minister must indeed step in to put a stop to the five stars behind the scenes, who would see him as the protagonist of a struggle against his predecessor, while the majority vacillated over jus scholae and seaside resorts. So much so that the prime minister left the Spanish summit early to return to Rome. Officially, because a cdm is on the expensive program today bills. But some shadows are spreading over this point, because in the meantime Conte has gone to the Quirinale and had an hour-long interview with Sergio Mattarella.

The Avalanche

The sociologist triggers the avalanche Domenico de Masi – always close to Grillo – after which the former comedian is said to have confided in him a phone call between himself and Draghi, in which the prime minister had asked him to do so Remove Conte from M5S ‘because it’s insufficient’. A conversation whose content Palazzo Chigi categorically denies and branded everything as “wrong”. And the founder does the same thing in the morning, calling everything “stories” while talking to the reporters who find him for Rome. To then cancel the summit with the Grillina delegation to the government in the afternoon and add in the evening: “Every time I’m taken advantage of and they talk nonsense about me and about Draghi…”. However, the rumors about the M5S are doing the rounds quickly. “We’re under attack” is the message we read most often in chats. Communication seems to sniff out the chance. After difficult days With you it can condense the troops. «Grillo had told me about these phone calls – says the lawyer – we are a community and we work together, so I was informed. I just find it grave that a technical prime minister, who has had the investiture with us from the start to form a national unity government, but meddles in the lives of political forces that support him.” An attack that Draghi can’t help but answer. And then the prime minister looks for Conte on the phone (receives an answer at a later date). The two face each other. Palazzo Chigi does not reveal the details of the call. Of the M5S Instead, something leaks out about the “tough” talk: “Conte has stated that it’s nothing personal – those close to him are saying in those moments – but it’s a question of democracy”. And they added he had asked the prime minister to say “clearly” if they intend to “expel us from the government”. “First the resolution to the weapons, then the incinerator within the dl help and then the super bonus question”. The entire five-star rhetoric of Us Against All condensed into a few minutes. However, it cannot be confirmed whether it really happened that way. In order to make public in the first place the existence of the telephone conversation between the former prime minister and Draghi, it is the latter: “We spoke to Conte a while ago – he says – we have started to clarify, we will hear from you tomorrow (today ed ) to see us earlier”. Also, a clarification on executive involvement: “No, the government is not taking any chances”. But then the story takes on unimaginable proportions and from the Palazzo Chigi they have to intervene to get De Masi deny: “The Prime Minister never told or asked Beppe Grillo to remove Giuseppe Conte from the M5S”.

The answer

But “that’s not the point,” argued the five-star parliamentarians. “If he denies it, it’s because that’s how it happened,” they explain enthusiastically. It does not matter whether the prime minister – ​​when making statements – was very careful not to even verbally touch on the idea of ​​a denial. Finally, those who normally move about in these skirmishes state: “The Prime Minister does not have to deny a rumor spread by a sociologist who would have spoken to Grillo, who would have spoken to the Prime Minister. We mean business! They are grilline skirmishes ». And also Di Maio, who knows these skirmishes well, intervenes: «Surreal debate. These dynamics risk undermining Italy’s credibility. You can not be “in charge” only on Sundays and create tension and instability all week ». The fact that chaos reigned over Campo Marzio at times is the chronicle of the last few days. And Grillo’s relegation certainly didn’t help. So much so that no real agreement has even been reached on the second term limit. For the founder, the rule is inviolable. But not all chosen ones are convinced of this. And then, the leaders declare, “the situation is frozen and the vote (promised by the end of the month) will be postponed”. Meanwhile, Giancarlo Cancelleri, twice a councilor in Sicily and now Secretary of State at the Ministry of Infrastructure, has had to withdraw his candidacy for the primaries with the Democratic Party in view of the regional elections in the autumn. “Here, now go with Di Maio,” most of the resigned lament about the steady decline in support and having ended up on the fringes of the executive branch. “The movement risks emptying itself, it needs cohesion,” they add. And yesterday appears to be the latest step in a strategy that will cause the government some trouble with one accusation after another.
