Mario Giarrusso, former senator of the M5, who spent some time at the Misto, has already renamed it “a great Wednesday.” In fact, December 9, when the Senate examines the reform of the Month, will be a decisive day for the fate of the majority. And to avoid the crisis of government.

In view of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte’s communications on the eve of the European Council, the vote count has already begun. At Palazzo Madama, the Giallorossi majority have always had a limited number, but now, after the letter from the orthodox M5 last week against reform, the result is not obvious, amid threats of expulsion and last minute desertions .

It must be said, however, that unlike the vote on the budget gap, which requires an absolute majority (that is, 161 out of 321), that of the Month, on the other hand, only requires a relative majority. That is, the Yes must only beat No. By the way, of this legislature in abstentions, the Senate has aligned itself with the House: abstentions in the vote do not count to determine who wins, whereas before they were added to No.

The numbers in the Senate

With the bowls stopped, the majority in the Senate is integrated as follows: 35 Pd, 92 5S, 18 IV, 8 Autonomie. Then there are 15 of the Mixed that usually vote with a majority. The total is 168. They are joined by Mario Monti and Elena Cattaneo, and also in the role Liliana Segre and Giorgio Napolitano. The last two, however, have not been in the Chamber for a long time, on the opposite side, that of the opposition, there are 54 senators from Forza Italia, 63 from the Lega, 18 from the FdI, 14 from the Mixed. The sum is 149, however in this last group are the 3 Cambiamo senators who last week voted for the deviation and seem to be oriented to vote for the reform.

Risk of expulsion for M5s who vote against the reform

Therefore, the numerical entity of the Five Star protest remains to be weighed: originally the letter of those who opposed the reform of the MEDE was signed by 16 senators. If everyone confirmed their opposition to the resolution, the majority would drop to 152. At that point, the resolution might even pass a handful of votes, but a very important political fact would be ratified, namely that Prime Minister Conte in the Palazzo Madama would no longer have a stable parliamentary majority. However, since the letter was published, the “moral persuasion” work of the Movement’s leaders has intensified and should have paid off. In addition, the indiscretion has been leaked that those who vote against the reform run the risk of being expelled this time.
