Matteo Renzi: “Better the opposition than this recovery”

“I am not afraid” that some ‘responsible’ will emerge in support of Count II, “if it happened it would be perfectly legitimate. It is called parliamentary democracy. And it is not an act of Conte’s kindness to go to Parliament: it is an explicit constitutional provision. But if it is okay for Parliament to squander 300 billion euros in bonuses and subsidies, go ahead: we will go to the opposition ”. Matteo Renzi said this to the ‘Sole 24 ore’, speaking of the tensions in the majority about the recovery plan.

External support to the government in case of rupture “I exclude it in the most categorical way. If they love us, we keep our ideas. If they don’t want to do it themselves. External support is a delicacy for experts, a material for fans of the first republic ”explains the leader of IV.

Renzi, among other things, also speaks of the prime minister’s no to the delegation of services: “The insistence with which Conte defends something that neither Monti, nor Berlusconi, nor Prodi nor I have done is incomprehensible and begins to suspect. The more the premier insists, the more important it will be to understand why he does not intend to use a specific professionalism ”.

Regarding the recovery plan, “we hope that President Conte will tell us how he intends to address the pending issues, because there is still a long distance on the fundamental points.” Maria Elena Boschi says this to ‘Avvenire’, specifying: “If Conte is interested in our ideas, he will let us know. If, on the contrary, he already has the ‘managers’ he can count on, we wish him a good job and we will work constructively from the opposition. The passage in Parliament mentioned by the prime minister in case of crisis “I consider it a constitutional duty. The more Conte comes to Parliament, the better. On the contrary, I regret that yesterday I chose not to go to the Senate, preferring not to postpone the press conference for a few hours ”, explains the leader of IV in the Chamber.

“However, I believe that Iv will end the term with more parliamentarians than he has today. We started at thirty, we are almost fifty: the polls do not block interest in Iv ”, emphasizes Boschi among other things.
