As the Italia Viva meeting unfolds, Matteo renzi gets his first victory: the premier Giuseppe Conte left the delegation of services to the ambassador Pietro Benassi. Benassi, a former Italian ambassador to Tunis and Berlin, was alongside Conte in the negotiations in Brussels for the next generation or recovery fund. He is certainly a henchman on the prime minister’s side, but tonight’s is an important signal in view of future government developments. The Conte-Casalino duo were sure they could easily find the ‘willing’ ones, ready to replace Renzian’s senators, but the negotiations, especially after the resignation of Lorenzo Cesa, became even more complicated.
Minister Luigi Di Maio, speaking in fact on behalf of the M5S, closed all doors to the UDC. But not only. Many in the Democratic Party would be in favor of a rapprochement between the Giallorossi and the Renzianos and tonight could be an important step in view of a reconciliation between the two parties. On closer inspection, in fact, this would be the former Florentine prime minister’s second victory as, even before Italia Viva withdrew its delegation from Conte-2, the Recovery Fund had radically changed from its original setting.
On the other hand, even among the dem there was no great enthusiasm for the excessive centralization of powers on the part of the prime minister, and even the secretary of the Democratic Party, Nicola Zingaretti, had on several occasions expressed doubts about the government’s action. . “We must change the rhythm” was one of the most frequent statements among the exponents of the Democratic Party who, at least initially, supported the broadcasts launched by Matteo Renzi against Palazzo Chigi. The Italia Viva group, at least for the moment, has not suffered desertions in the Senate, except for the favorable vote of the socialist Riccardo Nencini (not really a Renzian).
“Since time is running out, instead of picking up Ciampolillo here or there, why not extend an olive branch to the Senator from Scandicci?” This is the question that probably began to shine in the head of the Ombudsman, who does not intend at all to give up the headquarters of Palazzo Chigi for fear of having to leave it forever. The operation of “will” would, in fact, require the birth of Conte Ter and the redefinition of all the government boxes, in light of the new majority that would be formed. Better, therefore, not risk it, make a piss and welcome the rebel ally by granting him some position of power. The next few hours and days will be decisive, indeed crucial to understanding whether Conte will fall into Renzi’s deathly embrace again or (which is very difficult) whether he can find those 15 senators he needs to do without him.
