A "clearing house" for leaders is being studied. Tension over undersecretaries. The premier prepares the speech in view of the confidence of Wednesday in the Senate and Thursday in the House. On Friday the debut on the international scene as premier with the remote meeting of G7 leaders - TIMING [https://www.ansa.it/sito/notizie/politica/2021/02/15/il-timing-del-governo -Wednesday-trust-to-the-Senate_b6aeb42a-cfa4-4556-bfdf-0cd7a3070818.html] (ANSA)


The appeal to the ministers to speak only with facts does not last forty-eight hours.

In the hours in which Mario Draghi prepares the speech on trust that he will deliver on Wednesday in Parliament

, his very large majority is already furrowed by conflicts

, mutual accusations, I distinguish.

The call for silence addressed in the CDM by the Prime Minister was aimed precisely at de-mining possible controversies before the vote of confidence.

The Prime Minister will

in fact indicate the way to a collaboration in the name of the common commitment

to overcome the country's emergencies.

In the meantime, we try to compose the puzzle of the undersecretaries - there is the hypothesis of having them sworn on Friday - finding a solution that reduces tensions and discontent, rebalancing the delegations between parties.

The parties are calling for a method of coordination between the ministers and with the secretariats and groups: the season of the "heads of delegation" seems destined to be closed, the premier is expected to understand how he intends to proceed.

But the secretaries already seem to be moving: Matteo Salvini and Nicola Zingaretti meet in the Chamber, for about half an hour, at the end of a very tense day.

The summit was to remain secret but ilfattoquotidiano.it immortalizes both leaders at the exit and Salvini does not deny

: "We talked about work, the next block of layoffs, we will need to talk to the social partners".

The Nazarene is silent but the Northern League says more, that he will also see the secretaries of M5s, Fi, Iv.

Top leaders among leaders could become the clearinghouse of the overwhelming majority, multiple sources explain.

The meeting between the Democratic Party and the League seems to be a first attempt: it went well and testifies, according to the leaguers, the desire to be in the majority with a collaborative spirit.

Meanwhile Draghi works all day at Palazzo Chigi, where the minister for technological innovation Vittorio Colao is seen entering as well as the head of the police Franco Gabrielli.

In the government and in the majority, the debate on anti Covid measures is ignited, despite the fact that it has leaked from Palazzo Chigi that the decision to close the plants was agreed by the premier with the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza.

There are the knots of the role of Domenico Arcuri and of the composition of the Cts

, made targets by Fi and Lega.

But nothing leaks out of Palazzo Chigi, even if on the merits of the choices in government circles it should be noted that at the basis of very delicate decisions, such as that of a possible lockdown, there can not be first of all a technical evaluation, dictated by experts, more than policy.

Cohesion, is the word that Draghi used in his consultations with the parties.

Collaboration is the request addressed to his ministers.

On the 'how', however, the differences are evident.

The thorns are around the corner: on Wednesday the amendments by Action, IV and Lega for the blocking of the Bonafede reform on the prescription, a sword defense from the M5s, should be voted on Wednesday, but it is expected that the government, with the new Minister Marta Cartabia, propose a solution.

Faced with so many and such problems, the intention of a constant dialogue with the Chambers, which Draghi could reiterate in the speech on trust, risks not being enough.

Hence the need to coordinate.

In the meantime, the next match of the undersecretaries will take place with attention to the internal balance of the political forces.

There are 40 proxies to assign, including heavy ones to Secret Services, which Draghi could keep for himself, and to European Affairs.

Some technical figures could go to assignments such as publishing, where the name of Mauro Masi is also mentioned, or the tax reform (we are talking about Ernesto Ruffini deputy minister for the economy).

Depending on how many boxes the premier will hold for the technicians, the 'cencelli' of the parties should be calculated, which should indicate their potential names to the premier.

The hypothesis is that about 12 undersecretaries go to M5s, 8 to Lega, 6 or 7 to Pd and Fi, 1 or 2 to Iv or Leu.

Among the Dems there is the pressing for a large presence of women, with the commitment of Zingaretti to keep it and the difficulty in reconciling it with the possible confirmation of figures such as deputy ministers Antonio Misiani and Matteo Mauri at the Interior.

In the M5s he goes for proxies in ministries that deal with Recovery and there is talk of the hypothesis that Vito Crimi goes to Justice, Carlo Sibilia is confirmed inside, Laura Castelli to the Economy, then the Sicilian Giancarlo Cancelleri and the young are mentioned Luca Carabetta.

Names like Nicola Molteni, Stefano Candiani, Claudio Durigon, Barbara Saltamartini return to the League.

In Fi, where there are still tensions, mostly senators such as Pichetto Fratin, Caliendo, Malan are mentioned to rebalance the ministers-deputies.

Meanwhile, the premier's staff began to settle in Palazzo Chigi. Antonio Funiciello arrives as head of the Cabinet and Roberto Chieppa is confirmed as general secretary. There is not yet an official spokesperson but the head of communication of Bankitalia Paola Ansuini should appear on the staff. Ferruccio De Bortoli would have been contacted too.
