Covid chaos, Count hanging by a thread. Renzian ministers with suitcase – Chronicle

While it rains in Rome as it did during the Great Flood, the only thing certain, among the many voices that madly overlap (a direct conversation between Conte and Renzi, which did not happen; Conte ready who already goes up to the Colle for his resignation today), is that, between the government and the majority, there is no agreement on anything. Not even about the emergency and urgency measures to take. So much so that there are those who say that it will not even be necessary to wait until January 7, the day on which the government crisis should be formalized with the Council of Ministers, in which the tear of Italia Viva and the departure of the government must be consummated, but that already today, when Minister Gualtieri presents the new draft of the Recovery Plan, the patatrac could be carried out.

But that’s not the case: the final battle won’t take place today. Indeed, in reality, the work of the bridges (Ministers Patuanelli and Franceschini) intensifies in these hours precisely to make the two ‘duelists’ come to their senses. A work called “massive” and that Colle looks at with hope.

However, last night, the confrontation between the majority of the heads of delegation, while the government and the Regions fought over the gangs, the schools and more, it was really difficult. The head of delegation of Iv, Teresa Bellanova, defined as “insufficient and unclear” vaccination plan and Rt parameters. The words at the end of the evening by the leader of the group in the Chamber, Boschi (“we do not want the crisis, it depends on Conte”), from this point of view, sound a little more persuasive, but could prelude a soft interview today with Renzi in which the leader of IV enjoys his “political masterpiece”, but opens the possibility of a peace, but on his terms.

After 7, however, anything can happen. The only excluded hypothesis – or rather, disappeared in a few days – is that of a confrontation between Conte who goes to Parliament, especially the Senate, to seek the votes of Directors 4.0 (Italy 2023 was called the operation) to replace the Renzianos missing. Operation dead in the bud, not only because, more than ten, they have not found any (the Totians have slipped, the UDC too), but above all because the Colle, and also Pd and M5, do not believe in the ability to go for in front of the Governicchio.

The hypothesis of a Count on having in which, in practice, the prime minister takes a step back in almost all human knowledge, the Pd and M5 win two adjunct premieres, Iv a strong minister and, with a new confidence, all avoid a formal crisis. A victory for Renzi and a victory for Pirro, for Conte. As an alternative, there is talk of Franceschini or Guerini governments always with the current majority (implausible scenarios), but two other paths are also taking hold. The first is a government of Cartabia (former president of the Consulta) for a government, more than institutional, ‘of the president’, and technical, with the objective of ensuring the Recovery Plan and the vaccine plan (another name, less popular , Paola Severino).

The other is a ‘governissimo’, obviously led by Mario Draghi, who finally gave his consent to lead a ‘national reconstruction’ and therefore a political government, which completes the legislature with the support of all the parties. A hypothesis, until yesterday, opposed by the right, by Fd’I, today less, while the League is possible and Forza Italia enthusiastic.
