Giuseppe Conte: the strategist of colorless power



[ad_1]

In the struggle for political survival, the prime minister once again relied on his strength: in a pragmatism free of ideologies.

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has made a lack of color his concept of political success. To prevent the government he leads from failing, he did not deliver an ideological speech in the Senate on Tuesday, but instead appealed to the lowest possible common denominator: the government’s pro-European orientation and its loyalty to the constitution.

This is not a surprising twist, as this strategy had already been successful the day before. On Monday, Conte had already managed to convince the parliamentarians of the Chamber of Deputies to express their confidence in him. This reconfirmation had been made necessary because the small Italia Viva (Iv) party of former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi had withdrawn its two ministers in the dispute over the use of EU funds and thus withdrew its majority from the coalition. .
