After the floor, he could only touch the counter. Giuseppe Conte’s Pnrr (National Plan of Resilience and Resilience) to spend the money from the Recovery Fund officially has a competitor after yesterday: Ciao by Matteo Renzi (acronym for “Culture, infrastructure, environment, opportunities”). And the name not only suggests that this is how the Senator from Scandicci prepares for the “hello” to the prime minister, but also echoes the “calm down” that at the time of his debut on the national scene as Secretary of the Democratic Party. Florentino sent Enrico Letta.
So Renzi says hi to Conte
In the end Renzi abandoned the idea of discouraging Conte in the Senate during the last discussion on the budget law, as he had in mind. Instead, he chose the most traditional weapon of the press conference to present his requests to Palazzo Chigi in the penultimatum in which he identified four priorities to spend the 209 billion in funds destined for Italy and which represents the media appetizer of what tomorrow It will be a The Italia Viva delegation will formally introduce Roberto Gualtieri to the Minister of Economy. Threatening that if there is no agreement, IV will leave the government. And again asking to take the money of the Month, knowing very well that the 5 Star Movement cannot accept this solution without breaking.
The objective of Renzi’s offensive is uncovered and clear: that is why the shadow of the crisis begins to loom at Palazzo Chigi in January and Conte’s chair begins to wobble. And that could be resolved at the last minute with another “political solution”: that of removing the ministers of the IV from the Executive, maintaining external support for the majority that keeps Conte standing. An election that would allow Renzi to play a critical role within the majority and also avoid accusations about the desire for seats that moves him. The most difficult goal to achieve, but not impossible to date, is to be able to replace Conte with another technical tenant and a new government to support at least until the time of the election of the President of the Republic. . Given that the white semester begins at the end of August, it would be a matter of holding out for another eight months, bringing a center-left man to the Quirinal, and then going to the polls. Where, however, the life of Italia Viva does not promise easy.

Alternative plans, on the other hand, are also dangerous for the 5-Star Movement and the Democratic Party: Pd MPs still close to Renzi point out that Conte’s party would remove votes from both branches of the majority in any election in which the center-right was a win. The reorganization, suggested by Goffredo Bettini, should be done in such a way that Conte takes the initiative but the prime minister knows that in this way he would be at the center of the controversy with the major allies (electorally) of the Renzians.
The Conte-Ter government and the Draghi alternative
Meanwhile, Il Fatto Quotidiano deals with the other hot front of the reorganization, which are the M5: “Now we have to understand whether to respond to him or not, because it is evident that he is looking for pretexts for the crisis of government”, says a great player of the Movement . Instead, a well-presented source at Palazzo Chigi once again blows up the possible solution, that of shock: “In recent days, Giuseppe Conte also told some Grillini parliamentarians: ‘If the situation worsens, we can do something else.” Exactly what? Meanwhile, M5s and Pd will also present counterproposals to Conte on the Recovery Plan. Specifically, explains the Travaglio newspaper, they will ask for another one billion to extend the superbonus (tax relief for energy efficiency expenses such as photovoltaics) to all of 2023 and two billion to favor the exports of companies (in the current document Se expect 400 million). In addition, the Movement would like two billion more for social safety nets and active labor policies.
The alternative to reorganization is the “technical” government led by an illustrious person who could also count on the support of Forza Italia and perhaps the Lega. But in this case it should lead the country to elections in no time. A utopia to date. Because the first to not accept such a solution would be Draghi himself.
