Colao will make his public debut today in the General States, which will present his plan. Trade unions and local authorities will follow. The EU leaders "have recognized the central role that Italy has had in this emergency: we have been an example for Europe", meanwhile says Conte. Salvini attacks the premier: "He knows no shame".

Less than a month to understand if the endorsement arrived on Saturday from the European summits will result in a Recovery Fund in line with expectations. Giuseppe Conte, parallel to the week that will see the States General come alive, will also have eyes and ears on what is happening in Brussels. The EU Council of 19 will only be interlocutory but on July 9, in a new European summit, Italy aims to see at least a draft agreement. And thereafter Conte will be called to decide whether and how to ask Parliament about the activation of the Mes. Nothing, at the moment it is obvious. The State-saving fund continues to disturb the nights of the M5S and the war that broke out between Beppe Grillo, the governors and Alessandro Di Battista makes any outcome an unknown factor. There is a temporal coincidence, however, that could play in favor of the head of government to unlock the impasse: that between the decision on the Mes and the one, at the end of June, on Autostrade. "Reasonably in 15 days we will come to a decision"; explains the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Paola De Micheli. And, among some members of the majority, the hypothesis makes its way: that on the concessions to Aspi the government leaves the field more to the line of the Movement, at the same time folding the pentastellated trench on the Mes. This is, indeed, only an impression that however those who, among the members of the Five Star government, have had the opportunity to speak with their Dem colleagues, do not currently deny it. The premier, on the Benetton dossier, did not fail to show his harder face and, even on the Mes, until a few days ago, he spared no skepticism. If Italy were the only one to ask for it, Count would not give his placet. But if he were in company the picture would change. Sources close to the dossier explain how Spain, for example, has not yet decided while Portugal is thinking about it. Will these two countries be enough to convince Conte and especially the M5S? The premier walks on hot coals. "Sul Mes is at risk to the stability of the government. It cannot download the decision on the Five Stars", warns an authoritative source of the Movement. "It is the EU officials themselves who advise against MES," adds a pentastellate government source. And perhaps it is no coincidence that on Saturday evening, on TV, even the owner of the Mef Roberto Gualtieri was rather cautious, explaining that he wanted to wait for the outcome of the negotiation on the Recovery Fund first. "A sincere gratitude has come from the EU, Italy has been recognized as a central role, we have been an example", explains the Prime Minister on Fb recalling the homage of the European leaders who arrived at the inauguration of the States General. A tribute on which Italy focuses heavily on negotiations. But the Mes money - 37 billion, available as early as July - would be convenient for the government. The prime minister is called to an acceleration that will allay the latent discontent among the Italians for the bureaucratic delays and brake the centripetal pushes in the majority. In the registered invitation to Villa Pamphilj the premier outlines the axes of his masterplan: digitalization and innovation; creation of safer and more efficient infrastructures; investments for the green economy; enhancement of tourism, art and culture; efficiency of the PA; investment in research and training; rationalization of the legal system; social inclusion and equity. The first measures will arrive in the next few days. The simplification decree. first of all. But also a possible "maneuver" of July, which will aim to put resources on schools, municipalities and on the less wealthy part of small business, linked above all to crafts and tourism.

Today in the Casino del Bel Respiro, meanwhile, Vittorio Colao will make his public debut and present his plan. Then it will be up to unions, Regions and Anci to enter Villa Pamphilj. With the oppositions, however, the frost remains. "Conte knows no shame", is Matteo Salvini's reply to the premier's appeal to Lega-Fdi and Fi to the moral suasion on the Visegrad countries. While Mariastella Gelmini asks the government for clarity on the Mes. Still, anything can happen between now and next Sunday. Dumbledore, however, Giorgia Meloni. From here to next Sunday, in the complicated relationship between Conte and the center-right, anything can happen.
