Conte resigns today, what happens now: builders hunt – Corriere.it

ROME – 12-15 builders would be willing to make the company, or the government, stronger. I bet on these numbers at night Giuseppe Conte to shore up its shaky majority and go up to Colle today to try again to form what the Democratic Party calls “a government of national salvation.” Figures of dancers, still far from certain, because they are the subject of a tug of war with the premier, who would have wanted the constitution of the elusive new group before his resignation and who will have to resign to see it later. if it ever materializes, in trust. Numbers that would be sufficient to support the government that, at that time, could charge from a position of strength and self-sufficiency the return of Iv in the majority, with less weight and with a voluntary return of Matteo Renzi.

The negotiations

An acrobatic operation that remained hanging until the end in a frenzy of personal interviews, generic commitments, promises of rewards. Bruno tabacci he locked himself inside the Palazzo Chigi, went through the back door and worked hard on the constitution of the group. The Count, if everything goes as it should, will be born with a completely renewed team of ministers and with what once, when there were more solid games, five games were called. But there are still many dark spots and many contradictory rumors. Depending on which filters, the newborn group could be born supported by the symbol of the Maie (Italians chosen abroad). But he is still right about the Democratic Center / + Europe. According to one thesis, he could be constituted, given that he has elected a senator, Emma bonino (which, remaining in opposition, would have the symbol of + Europe). But an opinion from the Rules Council would be necessary and that blocks everything. “These are the Byzantine absurdities of regulations,” says former 5-star Gregorio De Falco.

The numbers

As a premise, it must be said that everyone flatly denies, often outraged. Not that it’s strange: nothing is confirmed before an announcement. But of course the ground still looks very slippery. Conte aims to get the green light for some members of Forza Italia, after the arrival of Renata Polverini to the Chamber and of Maria Rosaria Rossime Andrea Causin in the Senate. We talk about Sandro Biasotti,Maria Virginia Tiraboschi, Andrea Cangini (who refutes), Luigi vitali me Anna Carmela Minute. To these must be added, according to Chigi’s hopes, two UDC senators: Paola Binetti and Antonio Saccone – and three from Cambiamo, the group led by Giovanni Toti. Saccone responds by humming ironically “Avanti to the rescue” and denying: “But why go in now? We will not be there. Of course? “Do we bet?” here Gaetano Quagliariello, say Cambiamo: «We are in favor of a government of national unity. If Conte called for reforms, for Recovery, we would be there, but from the opposition. Of course? “Yes, we want to continue to consider ourselves serious people. We were at the top of the center-right until yesterday, not a year ago. How to support this government? ». However, both UDC and Cambiamo are among those who will increase the number. Of the 156 confidence in the Senate (we must add a 5-star senator blocked by Covid), we must add 2 centrists, 3 Cambiamo and 6-7 from Forza Italia. Socialist Riccardo Nencini says he is offside.
Having achieved the goal of self-reliance, it would also open up to Italia Viva. Perhaps convinced by the continuous evocation of Pietro Nenni’s motto – “You don’t rule with rancor” – Conte was able to put aside the vetoes. But what convinced him would be more than anything the lower weight of the Renzians, offset by the new group of builders and probably decimated in number. Some senators are said to leave: among them Eugenio Comincinthat is to say Mauro Marino.
