Conte / Italia Viva meeting. Recovery task force disappears

Italia Viva leaves Palazzo Chigi with a first result. “Conte has finally recognized that our proposals are absolutely positive and the working group on the text” of the Recovery that “was sent to us last night no longer exists. It is a step forward ”, says Iv Teresa Bellanova’s head of delegation after the summit with the prime minister at Palazzo Chigi.

In the Cdm in which the first draft of the Recovery Plan was presented, “Conte took an hour and 27 minutes to illustrate the working group. After which Minister Amendola spoke for half an hour about the content of the plan, ”recalls the head of Agriculture. “Now the issue of governance has disappeared and we are finally beginning to discuss numbers and contents,” he adds. To those who ask him if the “pretexts” to overthrow the Bellanova government are over, he answers: “Is it a pretext to say that according to the INPS in this country, hiring has dropped by 34%? Is it a pretext to say that We need powerful active policies because if we do not realize that, continuing with the bonuses and the CIG, when the block of layoffs ends we will find ourselves together with millions of unemployed? ”.

According to Bellanova, the government “can rest easy if it solves the problems.” For example, in health money “if there are still 9,000 million in health, why not reflect on the possibility of launching the 36,000 million of the Month that have even less conditionality than Recovery?”.

The Italia Viva delegation took a few days to review the illustrated documentation during the meeting with the Prime Minister. On Monday they will send their summary contribution as well as the rest of the political forces. The comparison tables will start immediately after.

The meeting was accompanied by the enews of Matteo Renzi. “We trust that, with due respect to the authors of the controversy, President Conte has read our letter. We’ll see if you want to give some answers. The ball is now in the hands of the Premier, it depends only on him. He owes the answers to Italy, not Italia Viva, ”he wrote, again addressing the head of government just as the Italia Viva delegation was crossing the door of Palazzo Chigi.

“They wrote that we want seats. They wrote that we are irresponsible. They wrote that we do tactics. They wrote, but, as is often the case, they have not read, ”denounces the leader of Italia Viva about the long letter sent to the prime minister a few days ago, which sounded like an ultimatum.

″ They have not read it, ”continues the former prime minister,“ otherwise they would have discovered that in those few pages there is no mention of seats or reorganizations. We talk about how to use the largest funds in the country’s history to grow us, reduce unemployment, make businesses flourish again, give our children hope. And to improve our health, starting from the Month.
We continue to insist on each point, starting with the Month ”.

Then, a comment also on the anti-Covid vaccine: “The vaccine was finally there
also approved by the European authorities. As everyone who follows this bulletin knows, we have been saying for months that it is precisely the issue of the vaccine -and its distribution- the decisive point to get out of the health emergency ”, writes Renzi who, a few days ago, had responded to those who accused your party. Argue in full emergency that Iv’s requests to the Executive were precisely because of the coronavirus.

“There will be some symbolic shots next week, then starting in January it will get serious. We cannot make a mistake in this: each day of delay would cause health, economic and moral damage to the country, ”Renzi warns. “With the end of 2020, the great NoVax lie that has accompanied Italian politics for years also ends: vaccines save lives. And Joe Biden has chosen to demonstrate it publicly by vaccinating live on television, “he concludes.
