The negotiation within the majority to overcome the knot of the land registry does not take off
: according to what is learned from several parliamentary sources, Forza Italia has not yet formalized, as it had instead committed to do, an amendment proposal that reformulates the text of the tax delegation and exceeds the request, initially signed by the entire center-right, to remove article 6 on the land registry reform from the delegation.
"We are still on the high seas" and this "is not a good sign", the other majority parties observe.
The commission, according to the agreements made in the afternoon, in any case should start voting starting from the land registry.
Either the land registry reform passes, or the government has come to an end: Mario Draghi told his majority two weeks ago
, we are here to do certain things, otherwise we won't go forward.
And at the earliest opportunity he went from words to deeds, putting the parties that support him at the crossroads.
Especially Lega and Fi, poised between splitting the majority or splitting the center-right.
The decision of the executive to go to the lunge on the fiscal delegation also surprises the majority a little, and irritates the more "governist" wing of the center-right, because the land registry is incandescent matter and there is really a risk, while the eyes of the world are aimed at Moscow's bombs on Kiev, that the tear is consumed in Rome.
On house taxes.
For Palazzo Chigi the passage is decisive: the mapping of the land registry "must pass", is the message sent to the political forces, through the undersecretary of the Mef Maria Cecilia Guerra.
"If Article 6 is not approved, the government experience is deemed to have been concluded," said the Undersecretary of Leu in an unusually final way in the Finance Committee, after the request made the evening before to the parties to withdraw all the amendments on the land registry is failed.
Chaos breaks out in commission.
The League remains firm on the stalcio.
The other center-right parties, but also some deputies of the Mixed group, complain about a question of method, and read the presence of Draghi's adviser, Francesco Giavazzi, at meetings between the majority and the government as an excessive interference.
M5S and Pd embrace the executive line and invite to find a solution.
The vote was postponed.
But the game is now all in the hands of Matteo Salvini.
And to Silvio Berlusconi's party, which for years has built its political campaigns on housing taxes.
The leader of the League is silent, "the parliamentary groups are dealing with it, I'm dealing with something else", he merely says in the morning.
But the concern was already there yesterday, so much so that he had mentioned the land registry during his speech in the Senate Chamber.
Waiting for the Forza Italia proposal, which had given its green light in the CDM, Maurizio Lupi also removes the signature of Noi con Italia from the suppressive amendment signed by the entire center-right.
In the meantime, Giorgia Meloni defines "very serious" that the government wants Parliament to vote "in a poke" and invites her colleagues from the center-right in the majority to "reflect".
That the government's aut or is "very serious" also say the League's deputies,
which also give a chance to Forza Italia's attempt to reconsider the text to clarify even more explicitly that the revision of the cadastral mapping must not result in an increase in taxes.
In Fi's proposal there should also be that of specifying the involvement of the Anci and the trade associations (Confedilizia has been fighting since the first day asking for an excerpt).
But in the evening the attempt does not seem to take off.
While the majority is hanging by a thread in the Chamber, Palazzo Chigi is trying to avoid a reply in the Senate when it comes to tackling the competition law.
Undersecretary Roberto Garofoli, with ministers Giorgetti and D'Incà, meet the group leaders and share the road map to bring home, by the end of June, the go-ahead from Parliament.
A method that seems to have been appreciated by all parties, including the League.
In the meantime, the stalemate on the fiscal delegation, which had already lasted for more than a month, must be overcome.
The approximately 400 amendments had been deposited a few days before the start of the vote for the Quirinale.
Then the race to the Colle, and the aftermath he had left behind, had put the dossier on standby again.
A majority-government meeting, just before the case of the Milleproroghe decree which had infuriated the prime minister, had not achieved any results.
In the middle, the Ukrainian situation precipitated and while the tax authorities hardly thought any more, national unity against the war arrived.
To stay on time, said those who spoke with the premier, it was necessary to accelerate.
Also because after several failed attempts - the last one blocked Matteo Renzi in 2015 - the revision of the land registry must now be done.
"Now or never",
says those who spoke with the premier.
Also because, observes a minister, "if it does not, this government will never happen".
