- The 'Conte bis' government ends.
The opening of Giuseppe Conte to a "legislative pact" is not enough.
Matteo Renzi announces the resignation of the ministers of living Italy from the government.
A government crisis opens, which has yet to be officially formalized, with unknown outlets.
And it opens in an unexpected way, when all the conditions seemed to be in place to sign peace.
In the evening, opening the Council of Ministers, the premier announces that he has informed the Quirinale and accepted the step backwards of Teresa Bellanova and Elena Bonetti.
Words are like stones.
He speaks of "grave responsibility" and "considerable damage to the country" produced by a gesture that cannot be diminished.
He claims to have sought dialogue "until the last useful moment", but the ground was "strewn with mines".
"The majority is there when they support a government project.
We have decided to go out and resign in an unprecedented way, because few leave their seats, to rebuild a government project for the country that is useful and achievable,
" he said the resigning minister for Equal Opportunities and the
Elena Bonetti
Family
on Radio 24. "My resignation is the space for this table to redesign the country, always postponed, finally opens. It can no longer be postponed, precisely because we are in crisis. act, the issue is not the Count but the political response ".
"For us the use of the ESM is decisive for the country - he explained - and it is decisive to remain in the majority that there are the political conditions on the basis of which the use of the ESS is at least discussed".
"This chamber is not and cannot be indifferent to what is happening", said
the president of the Chamber
Roberto Fico
who, accepting the unanimous request of the majority and opposition, suspends the work of the Montecitorio chamber and
announces the convocation of the conference of the group leaders "for an orderly path is responsible"
.
The Speaker of the Chamber said he will contact Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to report to him about the request made by the parliamentary groups to come and report in the classroom on the situation determined by the resignation of the ministers of Italia viva.
- The conference of the group leaders of the Chamber and the Senate
.
Convened in the morning, they were then postponed pending the acquisition of the formal document from Palazzo Chigi with the resignation from the government by the ministers of Italia Viva.
The shift, they explained to Montecitorio, serves "to define the modalities of the parliamentarization of the situation".
In any case, it was reiterated that the examination of the report on the deviation from the balanced budget will in any case be held on January 20, as this is a duty required.
- Comments. The so-called leaders are not there, the majority after the tear with Renzi no longer exists, so the risk of elections in June
is real and the analysis that
qualified sources of the Democratic Party
are doing in these hours
where there is great concern.
The Democratic Party, the same sources explain, cannot go after rumors of support for the majority that are not currently being revealed.
On the other hand, even mending with Iv seems like a chimera because the M5S has made it clear that with Matteo Renzi he no longer speaks to us.
So unwittingly, according to the PD's analysis, the situation is rolling towards the early elections in June.
"The Movement must only maintain the line of the last 48 hours - wrote
the exponent M5s Alessandro Di Battista
in a post on
Fb
- Renzi squeaked to kill Conte and that's it? Very well, Conte remains in his place. Renzi has left the government? Very well, it will never enter it again. Without ifs and buts. Meanwhile, these are the two conditions that the political force that took the most votes in 2018 (with an electoral law, I remember, made ad hoc against the M5S) on the plate. And we are compact. Finally ".
But in the meantime, the polemic does not subside.
Deputy Secretary of the Democratic Party
Andrea Orlando
continues to attack Italia Viva, defining it responsible for what happened: "With a galloping economic crisis, Iv has taken on the responsibility of causing the crisis that throws the country into uncertainty and confusion. We said it would be created. a situation of confusion and a leap in the dark. Our appeal was not heeded and unfortunately this happened ".
And this while the Renzians do not stop pointing the finger at Conte.
"There is a crisis, two ministers have resigned and the premier does not want to go to Colle today and does not want to come to the Senate. Is there still a Constitution in this country or has a DPCM canceled it?", He jokes on Twitter. the group leader
Davide Faraone
.
And in the meantime
Luigi Di Maio
launches an appeal to the 'builders' on Fb: "My appeal is therefore addressed to all European manufacturers who, like this Government, in Parliament nourish the will to give Italy its opportunity for recovery and ransom. Together, we can keep the way. Let's look around and we will find a country that asks to be heard. We cannot afford to ignore it. "
- The summit in the Nazarene and the "no" to the government with the center-right
: Even the Minister of Economy Roberto Gualtieri arrived at the headquarters of the Democratic Party for the summit on the government crisis convened by the secretary
Nicola Zingaretti
.
Present were the members of the secretariat, the deputy secretary Andrea Orlando, the group leaders Graziano Delrio and Andrea Marcucci and the ministers.
"We have clarified and we must reiterate that for us
any government collaboration with the Italian right, sovereign and nationalist is unthinkable. It would be an incomprehensible signal
. Washington images tell us how dangerous that drift is. It is
wrong after Biden's victory to favor scenarios that breathe new life as happened with the choice of Renzi, to Trump's allies
", said Zingaretti in his speech at the meeting of the political office of the Democratic Party.
So
Graziano Delrio's
warning
to parliamentarize the crisis: "As a group of democrats, we want the crisis to be parliamentarized and for communications to exist".
"There is a fact that can not be erased from our analysis. And it is at this point
the unreliability of Viva Italian politics.
That is a given, and this I believe, and that we should take it into account, as happened to
mine stability in any scenario one can imagine an involvement
and a new possible restart ", says Zingaretti during the political office of the Democratic Party.
In the meantime,
the question time in the Senate
, set today for 3 pm,
was
canceled. Questions
were scheduled for the Ministers of Justice Alfonso Bonafede, of the Environment Sergio Costa and of Health Roberto Speranza.
The Senate presidency announced that "following today's Conference of Group Presidents", the scheduled session of the 'Senate question time' questions for immediate response will not take place ".
