On Wednesday morning, a few hours before Matteo Renzi launched the challenge to Giuseppe Conte in the Senate room, in the corridor of the lost steps of Montecitorio, María Elena Boschi could be seen chatting with Edoardo Rixi, one of the faithful to Matteo Salvini, as well as an expert in Carroccio. For transport. And, just an apparently strange case, if you spoke with Rixi a moment later, you would hear arguments that feel at home among the Renzianos, but above all echoing arguments that the former prime minister in a singular confrontation with the current one, would have used a few hours later at the Palazzo Madama. : «The more you let Conte follow, the more time he has to build his party. The recovery fund working group could be functional for him. And if another central party is born, of course, Italia Viva disappears. And much less in a country like this where the press is governed by Casalino del Grande Fratello ».
Yesterday, the day after the “confrontation” in the Senate, Rixi’s reflections, worthy of a “political fiction” novel, reappeared in the mouth of a Renziano with his head on his shoulders like Gennaro Migliore, as if to crown the thesis of that the two Mathews have once again become “dearest enemies.” Better reasoning: «Conte is forcing these six executives to join the working group because in his mind they could be the embryo of his party, given that in the coming months they would enjoy a strong media coverage. Like Arcuri who could be in the game. All the people who could prepare the descent to the field with the slogan: the rest were fighting and we saved the country.
Now, the important thing is not that these theses are well founded or not, but the fact that they are housed in a majority piece as well as in an opposition piece. Another clue to think about is that yesterday in the Senate both Senator Rauti and Salvini congratulated Renzi in the classroom after his speech. And again, another clue, that in every corner of the Palace is spinning the rumor of a flashback. “The two Mattei have come back to talk,” confesses with the air of someone who knows a lot, the forced dissident Michaela Biancofiore, while Enrico Costa from the observatory of the new Calenda fan base on Corso Vittorio Emanuele in Rome, confirms: “Everyone is pissed off by the hypothesis of Conte’s new party. But another clue is not enough, never as on this occasion the opposition has been busy so that on the electronic billboards of the vote on the reform of the MEDE, it is clear that the government had not obtained an absolute majority in either of the two chambers . For this purpose, Salvini had threatened all center-right MPs that anyone who voted in favor would be automatically expelled from the coalition. And even the Cav, to keep the most doubtful about the goodness of his line at bay, had impatiently extracted a crude language that is not really his: “I am Berlusconi, I command, you obey.” Because all of this? «The important thing that Rixi entrusted the day after the battle was to give the image of an isolated Count, preventing him from having the side of any piece of Forza Italia that would have deprived Renzi of the contractual force. That is what those 5-6 blue deputies who threw the tantrums did not understand.
As usual, two clues give evidence, but there are many clues here. And we have to start from here to understand the general lines of the duel between the former prime minister and the current one, the purpose and its developments. On Wednesday afternoon Renzi was clear with his team: “We will not return. That is sure. It is Conte who must withdraw the amendment that the working group for the recovery fund and the one based on cybersecurity was going to introduce. If he does, he will regain our confidence. “According to the ambassadors who traveled between the two, therefore, Conte would have already swallowed the two toads. In fact, for the number two of the Mef, Antonio Misiani, the” case “is everything a media invention by Renzi. “There are two proposals that he explained yesterday with a pinch of irony that had already been removed from the budget law. Renzi is great, because he managed to mourn over things he already has.”
So is it all over? No, because for one reason or another, 80% of Parliament (including Giggino Di Maio) is interested in reducing the figure of Conte and his weight in decisions on European funds.
Here’s the point: Giuseppi’s Caesarism died before he was born. And the dream of many would be to return the prime minister to his debut in Parliament, with two different actors in the roles of deputy prime minister, but with an identical script and with the cult image of Conte asking Giggino: “But I can say or no? ». And if this is not the case, the premier will have to impress on his mind for the future the ruthless joke of the piddino Graziano Delrio:” Conte did not arrive at Palazzo Chigi out of grace, but because the parties put him there, because Zingaretti wanted it there “and Di Maio».
That is why, having annulled the budget law, the prime minister in January will have to think about the requests of his majority parties, starting with a possible reorganization of the crisis. A condition that suggests to the League’s egghead, Giancarlo Giorgetti, that Conte’s future will be very haunted. “The premier’s diagnosis is a case of collapse. It hasn’t crashed yet. It will continue a while longer, but then …!? ».
But of course, for a few weeks now, the entire Parliament has been interested in the prime minister’s personal affairs: about the famous dinner with his partner in a Roman restaurant in full prohibition dictated by a Decree of the Continuous Prime Minister, there are three questions for the Senate; Not forgetting the rule contained in the relaunch decree signed by the prime minister, who two days ago canceled a sentence negotiated by his father-in-law for not having paid hotel taxes for 5 years. A typical sponge hit. These are all clear signs of a decline. But, above all, there is the novelty of the new attitude of the League, which has finally abandoned the “wall against wall” scheme, which is functional for the premier to compact his majority. “Enough of this story of early elections, observes Lorenzo Fontana, which only serves to re-unite the majority around Conte. Instead, let us play the game for the Quirinale in this Parliament. Also because we have excellent roles ». So if in January someone wants to extend the game to the opposition, in one way or another, this time they will find attentive interlocutors. «The truth that the usual Rixi theorizes is that in a great emergency, a democracy would enlarge the majority base almost by a conditioned reflex. As King George VI of England asked Churchill during WWII. Those that don’t are authoritarian regimes, like Mussolini. Also because if it does not, it is responsible for not giving Parliament and the country the ability to react to the emergency. Just to do this you have to be a leader. You must have pathos. It is enough to compare Conte’s speeches with Merkel’s to understand what sidereal distance divides them. And if a German seems more human than us, it really means that we are in the fruit. “
