“Never with Pd and M5” – Quotidiano Libero

The crisis of government evoked by Matteo Renzi in El País unleashed a domino effect also in the center-right. At least in the field of school hypotheses. To the direct question, Matteo Salvini – for days committed to ensuring that the government shares the dialogue in all areas “in the national interest” – did not hold back: “Give a hand to Italians always and in any case, accompany the country to the new elections with a serious government? We are there “. The question is not to give credit to the former demolition (“I no longer comment on him – clarifies the leader of the League – now three of them trust him in Italy”) but, as they have reflected for some time in the Carroccio, not leave the field uncovered in it if the conditions are met at such a delicate moment: «We are already fighting the virus, it is impossible to do so even with the government’s complaints. If they want to govern, let them govern, otherwise we are prepared.

A “bridge” government, then? Everything depends on the stability of the majority, but above all on the executive’s ability to respond to a country bowed by the second wave. For this reason, Salvini -as explained by sources in via Bellerio- will point out to Conte some “concrete” modifications on infrastructures, taxes, aid to companies, families, schools, culture and the disabled, together with the measures of the right center table that will propose unitary changes to the Budget Law and Recovery Plan “to take advantage of Italian and European funds that cannot be held hostage by the working groups or the disputes between Conte and Renzi.”

VOTE HARD
Second, Carroccio’s entourage has also returned to the transitional government, clarifying that it is not a self-serving suggestion but a “recognition.” The reasoning is as follows: if it is not possible to vote in the first months of 2021, due to vaccination plans and a pandemic, it would be inevitable that another government will accompany the country to early elections. This with one condition: “The League is willing to commit, as long as the ballot boxes are guaranteed as soon as possible.” And the allies? No official comments have come from Forza Italia on the hypothesis but it is no mystery that Silvio Berlusconi’s line is that of a collaboration with the executive: even if it is exclusively on measures to combat the pandemic and without questioning the position in the center-right . .

Definitely opposed to any scenario that does not foresee an immediate return to the polls is Giorgia Meloni: “Brothers of Italy for consistency have always been reluctant to join or support governments with the Democratic Party and / or the 5 Star Movement,” he explained to Adnkronos . For the godmother of the conservatives, there is no other way out: «The problem with this legislature is that it is impossible to form a majority without one of these two left-wing parties. And if you want to replace Conte, we certainly will not be defending him by opposing him, but we will never be part of any government with those who support him today. Finally, the possibility of a bridge government is also impossible: “Any government born today would reach the end of the legislature, and three years seem like a bridge like Messina’s. This government will still hold out until January ”. What if you can’t hold out afterwards? “For us you can only vote.” r
