I quit. Now he will go to Colle and try to build the ter

Government crisis in the dark. Prime Minister Conte will go up to Colle da Mattarella this morning to resign. A forced move after the failure of the “will” operation that, however, will start again a minute after his resignation. The prime minister, in fact, hopes that his step back will definitely convince them to come out of the closet, thanks to the prospect of a brand new government, a countter, of which he will be a full part and not as a simple crutch. . The ball, however, will go to the Head of State who will not start consultations before Wednesday. The outcome of the crisis is not obvious because if the will is not enough to form a stable majority, then Mattarella will explore other possibilities that could also lead someone else to Palazzo Chigi.

There would always be the hypothesis of an arrangement with Renzi for a restart on new bases, with a new legislative pact, but both Conte and M5S and Pd, if they no longer exclude it a priori, consider it one more: the Renzianos, in other words, they could re-enter but only in addition to the “willing. That is, they should not be decisive for the fate of the government. And then, if Conte seems willing to drop the veto on Renzi, it is not certain that in the conversation with Mattarella it is not Renzi who vetoes Conte. Or maybe they’re willing to ask for the discontinuity at Palazzo Chigi. What seems difficult at the moment is that we are moving towards early elections, considered a problem with the current pandemic but especially with the Recovery Plan and the first advance of EU funds that will be obtained in June. Here is also the hypothesis of a government of “national unity”, as Berlusconi called it yesterday, making his allies Salvini and Meloni suspicious. And it includes not only the centrists but also Forza Italia. At that point, however, it would be really difficult to think of Conte at the helm.
