I go ahead if there is confidence. The government crisis is not in my hands – Corriere.it

He is very aware of the risks but, he explains, “the crisis is not in my hands”: everything depends on the majority parties, “if they confirm confidence.” The supposed deputies premieres are “charlatanism”, the reorganization “will not take place because all the parties have been parked”, since for him it is “fungible, very replaceable”. Of course, Giuseppe Conte adds to “Porta a Porta”, if this government fails “he goes home with disgrace”. The premier does not beat around the bush, in a long interview in which he is willing to talk, “but only in the interest of the country, not the individual forces,” he confirms that there will be no centralized working group on the Recovery plan. and reiterates the point about the no to the Month and the desire to maintain the powers of the secret services. “The task force, as a centralized structure that would have annulled the ministries, was out of date because it never existed,” he explains. But he also adds, and this part is already seen as a semantic device by living Italy, “Europe is asking us for a monitoring structure, it is foreseen by the EU guidelines to update Europe. We will have thousands of works: to think that there is no surveillance is unthinkable ».

Recovery, 15 Billion Health Care

The objective is to close the draft of the Recovery plan before the end of the year, “otherwise delays could accumulate, which do not exist today.” The reconstruction plan, however, will be broader, more than 300 billion and will last until 2026, so “it will also affect the next government.” The health problem remains the most urgent. Pd and IV, with more force, ask that the Month be activated and consider the hypothesized 9 billion insufficient. Conte sees it this way: «There are not about 9 billion, because there are other projects and we are already talking about 15 billion. But we are ready to strengthen investments. As for the Month, it is still a no. The motivation this time is not the conditionalities: “To activate or not the ESM is the prerogative of Parliament, but let’s try to understand it: the 36,000 million of the ESM would make us accumulate deficits and thus leave future generations a considerable burden.” On the Recovery, 36 deputies of the intergroup also ask for his opinion, who have asked Conte to meet to work against gender inequalities. Among the signatories, Laura Boldrini, Maria Elena Spadoni, Rossella Muroni, Lia Quartapelle, Debora Serracchiani. Finally, the delegation of the secret services: “I would not like there to be misunderstandings: the prime minister did not appropriate these powers, the law attributes them to him.” On fighting the pandemic, Conte says he is ready to take further action, if necessary. And some doubts arise: «Now there is an English variant that runs very fast. I don’t want to speculate. But, curiously, in Veneto the data is increasing, we have to understand why. The vaccination obligation will not be necessary (it will be evaluated for doctors) and the goal is to reach 10-15 million vaccinated in April. After Porta a Porta, “private” visit to Regina Coeli. The situation in prisons, between suicides and infections, is explosive.
