He is there, firmly clinging to the chair and motionless, “like a traffic light,” said the unforgettable Romano Prodi cartoon staged by Corrado Guzzanti. And around him the leaders of his majority besiege him, trying to weaken his immobile resistance and neutralize Giuseppe Conte’s eel strategy.
Yesterday Matteo Renzi began the attack, who -at least against Conte- is in perfect harmony with the leader of Pd Nicola Zingaretti: «Either politics moves – warns the former prime minister – or the technicians arrive. Let’s set a table “and finally get out of there” with the final elections on construction, Mes, Autostrade, Ilva, Recovery Fund, Electoral Law, Infrastructures “. Renzi presses the Oblomov of Palazzo Chigi: “We cannot advance in an emergency only against Salvini”. Or the government “takes a qualitative leap now or never.” The majority table to decide “is a moral duty”, and according to Renzi, it must be accompanied by a reorganization that strengthens the majority (and weakens the prime minister’s autocracy, that is the implication) with the entry of a great Party player Democrat: the same Zingaretti or, “to the limit”, his substitute Orlando. Pd’s secretary declines: “I stay where I am”, but joins Renzi in demanding “a qualitative leap.”
Conte’s pull does not displease Zingaretti at all, and his followers comment that Renzi confirms what the secretary has been saying for a long time and acknowledges that “the papers must be handed over to the Pd.” But the head of government is careful not to charge, and prefers to sneak into the religious celebrations of San Francisco, in Assisi, and launch urban and orbi ecumenical messages about the “new humanism” (he imagines inspired by Rocco Casalino) over the than “redesign politics”; about Covid that “asks us questions about life and death”; on the fact that “the enemy is not defeated and we must fight it together, as brothers” and similar comforts.
While the unsolved files pile up in the drawers of the Palazzo Chigi and run the risk of falling sooner or later in an avalanche on the Italian public accounts, and while the traps multiply on their way (from the delay of the Recovery Fund to the dangerous summons before the judge of Catania for the Gregoretti Case), Prime Minister Conte clings to his weapon of the end of the world: the return of the pandemic. Allowing him to forge emergency powers, silence critics and carve out a role as father of the country that no one can now afford to question. “Let’s not waste the results obtained so far, together we can win the challenge of this health and economic crisis with confidence and courage,” the premier chirps via Facebook. Meanwhile, fix the sandbags: enlist the ministers in the cause of silence in the Month (Gualtieri, who collides with Zingaretti; Amendola; Speranza). He has the message spread by lateral messengers (such as the former minister of Fi Rotondi, whose tweets are very popular) that, in the event of a crisis caused by the tear of the majority (for example in the Month) “he knows very well what to do” . For example, ask for early elections and go there with your own list, to which even the Palazzo Chigi fantasy polls attributed 15%, looting votes and political personnel (from Speranza himself to the governing wing of the M5) to those who made him stumble.
