At the end of this strange summer marked by fear of the coronavirus, an unusual event is happening for the recent history of Italian politics: the absolute silence of the prime minister. Giuseppe Conte.
The former people’s lawyer had accustomed Italians to a massive presence on television and on social networks, especially to announce the now famous Dpcm. However, for several days everything seems to have changed. No news from Conte. The prime minister was not working at Palazzo Chigi because a relaxation period was allowed. But the most mischievous speculate that something else hides behind the silence. The prime minister would be afraid to see the earth collapse, politically speaking, under his feet. And not only because of the continuing tensions in the majority that I know supports him. There would be something else. In fact, there are rumors of an abrupt phone call from Beppe Grillo Giuseppe Conte. To make the news public is Dagospia who speaks of thunder and lightning between the two. In perfect “vaffa” style, the founder of the M5s would have suggested to the prime minister a “be very careful”. In practice, almost an invitation to reflect on the fact that it takes very little to remove Conte’s chair.
An indiscretion. But there are silences that make more noise than any other word. And what is coming from Conte could be an indication of his current political weakness. Yet right now, seeing the chaos school, the economic crisis and theimmigration emergency, the prime minister should make his voice heard to reassure Italians. This has not happened yet.
The next few weeks for Conte will be very difficult. We need to discuss the modification of the security decrees approved when the old yellow-green majority existed. Perhaps Conte’s silence could end next Wednesday when he meets with the mayor of Lampedusa, Totò Martello, and the governor of Sicily, Nello musumeci, to address the issue of landings and migrants.
In September, in quick succession, there are two more appointments that could cost the prime minister dear. Schools will reopen on September 14 while on September 20 and 21 Regional elections and the referendum on reducing the number of parliamentarians. As for the start of the new school year, chaos continues to reign. The Minister of Education, Lucia azzolina, between announcements, denials and setbacks he finds himself in enormous difficulty. Less than 7 days later, the Italians will go to the polls. If from the vote, as the polls indicate, the triumph of center right, for most Pd-M5s it will be difficult to advance. Consequently, the first to pay would be the Count himself.
And then the latter would have chosen to remain silent. The prime minister, Dagospia emphasizes, would be concerned about the Regionals. For this reason, in recent days he would have embraced the line of the Movement, which is fighting to postpone the modification of the security decrees. In the face of emergency landings, interventions such as the removal of millionaires from NGOs, however never inflicted with this government, could generate discontent among the population, or at least in part, and generate incentives for new exits.
But unpleasant surprises for the prime minister could reserve the P.S and the M5. A part of the dem, led by Franceschini, Orlando and Marcucci, rebels against Zingaretti and accuses the secretary of being completely devoid of the leadership he had, worn down by his relationship with the prime minister. In the pentastellati Di Maio could soon return to protagonist. And this would be one more blow for Conte. Grillo’s phone call, then, opens questions and new scenarios. Even if it’s hard for the comedian to push for a government crisis that the M5s would only have to lose to.
