"After this intense involvement of mine, I don't see a future without politics." The Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, in a conversation with Repubblica announces a long-term commitment. He specifies that he thinks "of the present and not of my future", because "starting to think about one's future when one has such a significant task risks creating a false and distorted perspective", "like a worm" that "ends up distracting or worse to condition the choices and decisions he has been called to make ", but he adds:" I do not see myself as a new Cincinnato that I withdraw and I am not interested in politics ". "Politics - reflects the premier - is not just about founding a party or being a party leader or doing electoral competitions. There are a thousand ways to participate in political life and make a contribution to your country". Finally, to reassure the coalition partners, he reiterates: "Any contribution I find myself making will however be in line with my inclination that I made clear on Saturday: I am a builder, I am not divisive".
Justice, and in particular prescription, will be the first stage of Giuseppe Conte's January slalom. Thorny stage, because M5S, Pd and Iv travel on very distant tracks and the risk is that the stalemate on the Bonafede reform will cause the confrontation in the government to arise from which the Prime Minister wants to restart his agenda.
Moreover, despite the fact that at the end of the year conference he gave his net imprinting to the direction of the Giallorossi government, the majority remains fragile. With the shadow of the new group in the House which, despite the premier's call not to destabilize, remains a hypothesis on the table. The head of government will arrive at the summit on justice scheduled on January 7th probably after completing the installation of new ministers to the School and University and Research Lucia Azzolina and Gaetano Manfredi.
The choice of unpacking, numerically, benefits the Pd and, at the same time, slows down the possible request for a mini-reshuffle by the Dems after the Regionals. The Movement, for its part, consoles itself with the promotion of its undersecretary, the deputy Azzolina . Its indication is appreciated by the leaders and perhaps displeased with the Orthodox wing (among the eligible candidates there was also the president of the Culture Commission Luigi Gallo) but it should not create further cracks in a Movement where, for days, an all has been underway against everyone.
Meanwhile, the challenge of the Regionals of January 26 in Emilia-Romagna and Calabria starts. Bonaccini presents the list in Imola with the mayor of Milan Sala: 'If we win, this is where the tax for Italy starts.' While Salvini in Bologna attacks Conte . 'He lives badly, he's obsessed with me. His marathon will stop at the first kilometer. '
Waiting for the fifth year-end speech that the President of the Republic Mattarella will give Tuesday evening from the Quirinale.
