"We have the possibility of being able to work well in advance on the maneuver , with the majority forces it will be a very intense and close confrontation. I read a few months in a newspaper about a confrontation: no, absolutely not. People are waiting for answers in a very short time faster, we'll work in a shorter time frame. " This was said by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte in the joint press conference with Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov speaking of the internal confrontation with the majority.
" Now calm and plaster and belly on the ground : the government must demonstrate that the certificate of trust obtained in Emilia Romagna deserves it and put in place a season of change," the leader Pd Nicola Zingaretti told Agorà, on Rai Tre in view of the government audit. After Emilia Romagna, "no one has gotten their heads up, another season has to be started," said Zingaretti, indicating two central themes in the government's agenda and in the fight against bureaucracy.
Tonight table called at 6.30 pm on Thursday evening will sit, as before, Dario Franceschini for the Democratic Party, Roberto Speranza for Leu, Teresa Bellanova for Iv. The novelty is that Alfonso Bonafede, not Luigi Di Maio, and an M5s in the middle of the crisis are in front of them. The other novelty is that the Democratic Party has more force in demanding that the government change pace and break taboos like the idea of making a "coupon" at 100 and citizenship income or writing a new security decree. In short, discontinuity. To do this, both the premier and the allies choose a padded step, in order not to subject the Five stars to other stress, already on the verge of a nervous breakdown. There is on the one hand Franceschini to explain that the M5s "needs time", on the other Roberto Fico to ensure that there is the necessary unity to reach the end of the legislature. And there is Conte who, even though he is now working openly - even at the cost of irritating a piece of the Movement - as the federator of an "progressive" alternative field to the right, does not stop playing the role of mediator, capable of giving time to time.
However, the dossiers are pressing, for which there is no time. On the revocation of the concession to Autostrade and the prescription, it will be necessary to decide what to do within the next week, when some high-risk IV amendments will have to be addressed in committee in the Chamber. And since Matteo Renzi, who will gather Italy's first national assembly over the weekend, does not seem to want to lay down his arms, we will have to try once again to deminer. Therefore there are those who in the Democratic Party hypothesize intermediate solutions such as the partial revocation of the concession to Autostrade or a parliamentary path for prescription rules. But the internal difficulties of the Movement do not help: the Five stars, also to show sagging, show rigid positions on both themes. The first dossier on Conte's table, after returning from an institutional visit to Sofia, will however be the difficult agreement with Arcelor Mittal on the former Ilva. The first deadline is January 31st.
