Resonant! The government has already promoted the Month (with the votes of the M5)

The M5s say they have no plans to consider the MES for health care costs until it is proven that there are no tricks. But the M5 may not have realized that it had already cleared up all doubts during a special Cdm: the one on July 6. It was Luigi Di Maio’s birthday and the ministers unanimously approved the PNR with a particular technical sheet, which confirms that the Month does not present worrying conditions. Good news for the Democratic Party and for Zingaretti

Luigi Di Maio, Alfonso Bonafede, Stefano Patuanelli, Lucia Azzolina, Federico D’Incà, Nunzia Catalfo, Riccardo Fraccaro, Paola Pisano and Sergio Costa may not know it, but that Mes is mistreated when they are in front of a microphone and that. They despise when they speak it in public that it has already been promoted by the executive to which they belong with the unanimous vote of the entire government structure. The grillinis say: ESM line of credit reserved for healthcare costs is a line of credit that Italy cannot afford activate because once the ESM is activated, the terrible conditionalities that are hidden in the perfidious mechanisms of Europe would force our country to find itself in fact with a Troika inside the house. And the synthesis of the position of the M5 is the one photographed by the regent of the Movement, that is to say Vito Crimi: “We have said that the ESM is an inappropriate tool and that it should not be used, I repeat this position, which is the position of the M5S: no one has yet shown us that the ESM does not have conditionality.” What Crimi may not know is that it was the M5s that demonstrated that the MEDE effectively lacks conditionality, with an almost unanimous vote of its ministers (except one absent) held on July 6 in a fairly important institutional headquarters: the Cabinet. And it is possible that the reason why the Democratic Party shows some optimism about the possibility that the government can unblock the practice of ESM is linked to a screenshot that has been running for a few days in the mailboxes of some important exponents of the majority. This is the story and it is not bad.

On July 6, the Minister of Economy, Roberto Gualtieri, presented to the CDM the scheme of the National Reform Program (Pnr). The PNR, which Roberto Gualtieri signed together with Giuseppe Conte, is a 133-page booty that contains the plan that should outline the policies that the government intends to adopt in the 2021-2023 triennium for the relaunch of growth. In that document, Gualtieri and Conte write that “the EU’s response to the pandemic is articulated in several important initiatives.” And among the “important initiatives” the Prime Minister and the Minister of Economy also include “Line of credit to support pandemic crises of the European Stability Mechanism”. However, the use of the adjective “important” – “this is appropriate or necessary to take this into account” – is just an indication of a more interesting detail that appears a few lines later, on page four, when the PNR, to eliminate all doubts, it explains what this “Credit Line for Pandemic Crisis Support of the European Stability Mechanism” consists of. Here is the screenshot.
