A duel between Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi paralyzes the country and threatens to destroy the fragile government coalition.
Vienna / Rome. In Brussels, Giuseppe Conte will have a hard time this time. Because there he appears as a lonely and weakened Italian prime minister. While he’s supposed to convince skeptical European partners that his government is fit for record EU aid, the coalition’s junior partner looms publicly in his chair at his home in Rome: Matteo Renzi, a former Shooting star of politics, he now conspicuously threatens often to crush the shaky government coalition. And he lives up to his nickname: The former prime minister (2014-2016) has always been called “the scrap dealer.”
The latest scandal concerns the recovery fund for all things. As reported, Renzi refuses to allow experts to monitor the projects that are being financed with the 209 billion euros earmarked for Italy. Especially since this task force would only report to Conte and two ministers, neither of whom belongs to Renzi’s smaller liberal party, Italia Viva. Renzi complains about the lack of transparency.
