In the afternoon meeting of the Council of Ministers

According to sources in Palazzo Chigi, the Council of Ministers will meet in the afternoon.

The convocation should be around 17.30.

A little in defense and a lot in attack: the M5s feels encircled and raises the barricades.

"They often say that we want to bring down the government. I begin to think that someone wants to push us out of the executive" is the alarm of Giuseppe Conte who begins to look with suspicion "the ambush" in the council of ministers on the incinerator in Rome .

"If this were the intention, let them tell us clearly. I ask for respect for the 11 million citizens who voted for the Movement" the former premier beats the table with his fists, who throws his altolà to the government: "That rule that brings back the hands of the clock is not even remotely combinable with the concept of trust. If anything, we ask for trust We ask for trust and respect for citizens ".

Meanwhile,

But Conte has a poisoned tooth;

not only for the case of the waste-to-energy plant but also for the premier's attack on the Superbonus.

"I was amazed that right in front of the European Parliament he found a way to speak ill of a measure that is running the country" and that "allowed him to travel around Europe and boast the 6% increase in GDP" , says Conte piqued.

He reassures that the M5s has always been open to anti-fraud improvements: "we are reasonably willing to improve the measures to combat them".

But a suspect gnaws at him.

"I don't know if it is a retaliation: if it were it would be very serious" said the M5s leader, taking the ball that the director of Tgcom Paolo Liguori throws at him.

"

If it were a retaliation to the request to hear Draghi in Parliament, as you say, it would be a very serious offense to the Italian people.

It would be very serious if it were a reprisal in the face of a request, which seems legitimate to me, to have a prime minister called to represent in Parliament and therefore to the citizens, and not to the M5s, what are the positions he is bringing to the international table "on the war in Ukraine. Yes, because there is also this story at the table of friction between the M5s and the premier. On this ground, the M5s gathers supporters, not only from Salvini's League but also from the left:" on our request I think other political forces also joined and it was also welcomed in the public debate ", Conte observes.

Draghi, however, speaks of truces, "including localized ones, to allow the evacuations of civilians and encourage peace negotiations".

"We continue to help Ukraine and to exert pressure on Russia, so that hostilities cease immediately" clarified the prime minister at the end of the meeting with the Japanese prime minister Fumio Kishida.

Even the secretary of the Democratic Party tries to calm the spirits.

"There is a need for unity as never before on the government, if we are not anointed at this stage ... I believe that Draghi said the right things in Strasbourg. Italy is the country that pushes the most for peace but there is there is a need for a united and cohesive majority ".

Yet even with the Pd Conte he sees pending accounts to be clarified.

"Those who want to work with us must know that there are non-negotiable principles" attacks the

former premier who complains: "the Democratic Party was for the ecological transition, then he proposes incinerators to us. Those who work with us must clarify those positions".

The alliance for administrative authorities also ends in the meat grinder: "we have stringent constraints and some pillars such as the culture of legality: it has happened that there were projects that do not meet our standards" accused Conte.

But Letta bites her tongue: "I look at the arguments that unite us".

On the other hand, the one who gives voice to some suspects, who are also agitated within the Movement, is the senator dem Andrea Marcucci: "Conte says that someone wants to push them out of the government. It seems to me that the Five stars have this desire".
