A new maxi task force, an inter-ministerial committee on European affairs, a political body, an executive committee made up of six directors. Here is the gigantic machine that will handle the 209 billion that come from Europe in the coming months to implement a recovery plan, the Recovery Fund. This was discussed during the meeting at Palazzo Chigi between Prime Minister Conte and two representatives from each majority party. Also present were the Ministers of Economy Roberto Gualtieri (Pd), of European Affairs Enzo Amendola (Pd) and the Undersecretary of the Prime Minister Riccardo Fraccaro (M5S). During the summit there were moments of tension over the European Stability Mechanism, with the 5 Star Movement deeply opposed to its use in the healthcare sector.
Meanwhile, a structure is emerging that includes a political body and a technical-executive body. The political body revolves around the CIAE, the Interministerial Commission for European Affairs, headed by Minister Amendola (delegate for relations with Brussels) and has as references to Prime Minister Conte and Ministers Gualtieri (Economy) and Patuanelli (Economic Development ). The technical body will have an executive committee made up of 6 managers, responsible for the objectives of the Recovery Fund, also with substitute powers regarding the executing subjects, assisted by a working group of 300 people.
During the meeting, as has been said, the thorniest issue was also discussed, that of the Month on which the positions within the majority are different. According to some antecedents, the M5S would have proposed drafting a majority resolution, to be voted on in Parliament on December 9, to specify the fact that Italy will not resort to the Health Month. “Our line is that the reform of the MEDE is being discussed in Parliament and, in any case, it must be left in black and white that it will not be used,” reported Adnkronos sources from the pentastelado government. “But how, in the middle of the second wave, do you reject the billions of the ESM? This is an unacceptable exchange, ”replied Luigi Marattin from Italia Viva during the meeting. In the same vein as the representatives of the Democratic Party. Inevitably, the issue creates a rift between the allies, in light of the delicate vote on December 9 on the resolutions to be tabled following Prime Minister Conte’s briefing on the upcoming European Council.
A little later, government sources clarify that the signing of the reform of the ESM in the Eurogroup on Monday is a separate issue and has nothing to do with the use of the ESM or the health ESM. This would have been the point reiterated by the Minister of Economy, Roberto Gualtieri, during the meeting. A preliminary meeting in view of the hearing of the head of the Mef scheduled for Monday morning, which will not end with resolutions or votes. The vote on December 9 was different. In the next few days the meetings will continue and if the issue is not resolved, someone suggests, Conte and the party leaders will have to be invested directly, to avoid divisions in Parliament.
Gualtieri, again according to what he learned, explained to what extent the reform is an improvement compared to the one already addressed by the first Conte government and how one cannot proceed by vetoing the instruments put in place by Europe, as does the Hungarian Prime Minister Orban . positive for our country and that all our allies support.
At this point, we have updated to an upcoming summit, which will be convened after Monday’s briefing by Minister Gualtieri. The new meeting will serve to define the details of the majority position in view of the vote in Parliament scheduled for December 9. The positions of the groups remain distant on whether to use the resources of the health credit line of 36-37 billion euros. But this aspect will be the subject of an additional specific and in-depth discussion among political forces.
