Giuseppe Conte being examined by the Senate. The government, after the confidence obtained in the Chamber with 321 votes in favor, appears in the Palazzo Madama at the key appointment of the crisis. The executive left the Chamber with 321 yes, 259 no and 27 abstentions on the majority resolution presented on the communications of the Prime Minister.
Conte
“Mine is a very clear and blunt appeal: there is a very precise and articulated political project that aims to modernize the country and complete many reforms and interventions that are already in process,” Conte said in the Montecitorio room earlier. of the vote. “Know that this is the right time to contribute to the perspective of government, declined in a pro-European and anti-sovereign sense,” the prime minister said then, addressing those who want to become “builders.”
Appeal to the willing
“They are ready to serve, to those who care about the fate of Italy I say ‘help us,'” Conte said in his speech late in the morning. Renata Polverini responded to the appeal in particular: the Forza Italia exponent voted yes to confidence, against the line of the party led by Silvio Berlusconi. In the Chamber, 7 former Grillini deputies not registered in any deputy also voted to help the government: they are, as we read in the prints, Piera Aiello, Nadia Aprile, Silvia Benedetti, Rosalba De Giorgi, Alessandra Ermellino, Lorenzo Fioramonti, Raffaele Trano.
Senate, how many votes?
In the Senate, the absolute majority of 161 votes seems out of reach. Support for the government fluctuates between 154 and 156 votes, with little progress since Sunday. The abacus of the Palazzo Madama, in view of today’s confidence, is essentially paralyzed: “Let’s see what happens not only tomorrow but also Wednesday, the road is long,” he confided to Adnkronos, who is on the front line in negotiations to put security the executive led by Conte. The last hours are decisive, to see if the Prime Minister’s call to the ‘willing’ has hit the mark, if he will proselytize in the Senate.
P.S
“Excellent! Absolute majority in the House. A very important political fact. Now for the good of Italy!”, The reaction of Nicola Zingaretti, secretary of the Democratic Party, after the vote in Montecitorio. “Very difficult and complex situation”, “very narrow path”, “very serious and delicate step” are the concepts expressed by Zingaretti at the Pd assembly at Palazzo Madama. In summary, reflecting parliamentary circles, the path contemplates trust today – aware that it will be “narrow” – and then the opening of an interlocutory for an expansion of the majority. A stronger majority than with Italia Viva and with a shared program.
In the vote in the House, “we thought a little less,” it is “a result that confirms the strength of the majority regardless of what Italia Viva’s decision was,” said Deputy Secretary of the Democratic Party Andrea Orlando. “If you do not like the living room, it is not that you demolish the house … the choice of Italia Viva goes in that direction,” he added referring to Italia Viva’s position. “I don’t think anyone is fascinated by the discussion that we are forced to have and that comes from Italia Viva. We do not deny that there are problems, but can they be solved by throwing the wagon into the air? I think it is an unforgivable mistake.”
M5S
“The confidence in the Chamber of Deputies obtained. Let us move forward, together with President Giuseppe Conte, with the aim of strengthening this majority by working for the country, for every Italian,” Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said after the first round. “The pandemic is not waiting for us, the economic crisis is advancing and we have a duty to intervene in a timely manner with concrete measures,” Di Maio added. For this reason, during the week we must approve the budget deficit of 32,000 million euros in Parliament to give new refreshments and aid for those suffering the effects of the crisis.
Renzi
“We expected 340 votes in the Chamber, they obtained 321. In the Senate they can also obtain 161 votes, I don’t think they will, but I would not change the background,” Matteo Renzi, leader of Italia Viva, told La7 at night, reiterating concepts . also expressed in Tg2 Post. “Anyone with parliamentary experience knows that formally one more vote is enough to gain confidence, then there is committee activity and in many committees the government would be in the minority. They only look, in ‘a purchase, a barter and a sale’, in a market senator transfers, to take one or the other. I have the impression that these days the prime minister has been very often on the phone with the senators looking for the majority instead of on the phone with Pfizer, which this week sends us 136 thousand fewer vaccines ”, added the leader of Italia Viva.“ Conte is blocking institutional activities, he knows that he does not have the numbers in the Senate and he is looking for them. If you do not have 161 votes, I think you are wrong to insist. In my opinion he should go to the Quirinal but he won’t. “
