Between the opening of an investigation into Andrea Delmastro and the sparks between the majority and the government on the superbonus credits, only the fever was missing to complicate Giorgia Meloni's day.
The symptoms for which she canceled all the commitments on Monday and Tuesday reappeared, forcing her to chair the Council of Ministers from home, to cancel Friday's meeting with Roberta Metsola, participation in the Munich Security Conference and any other commitments, in the days when Wang Yi, head of diplomacy of the Chinese Communist Party, is also in Rome.
"A bad flu",
defines it who spoke to her in one of the dozens of phone calls the premier had to manage the various open fronts.
The first began on the eve of the Council of Ministers, when the government took the decision to intervene with a decree law to prevent local authorities from purchasing the substandard tax credits of the superbonus.
The orientation of a part of the majority was different, in particular Forza Italia, which relaunched the concerns of Ance and had an internal meeting before the CDM,
acknowledging that in the end it is impossible to act otherwise.
Meloni in November denounced "a 38 billion hole" generated by the superbonus, anticipating the squeeze on building bonuses.
The fear of the negative impact on public finances has led the Prime Minister and Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti to make another urgent intervention, citing Mario Draghi's reprimand in July against those who designed the transfer mechanisms.
In the end, the decree-law passed unanimously, without discussions,
assured those present, but sharing the
"fear of the effect on the state accounts of 110 billion of debt".
A difficult but inevitable choice, to quote a minister.
A very different direction from that of some proposals presented, even in recent days, by the majority.
Also on this front, as well as on the beach concessions, there is the difficulty of making the impulses of the coalition coexist in Parliament with the realpolitik of the government, in the relationship with public finances and community obligations.
The justice front remains incandescent.
The day after the jubilation of the majority for the acquittal of Silvio Berlusconi in Ruby ter, the investigation into Delmastro was opened for the disclosure of information about Alfredo Cospito.
There was the possibility that he would only be heard as a person informed of the facts, instead in the prosecutor's office in the next few days he will have to present himself with a lawyer.
Not a bolt from the blue, they say from FdI: the undersecretary of Justice is calm, he has faith in the magistrates, he has no intention of resigning, nor has he been asked, they assure
.
Other majority sources tell of sparks between Delmastro himself and the undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano.
"Enrollment in the register of suspects is not a conviction - Mantovano said in the evening - and there is nothing different from what the Prime Minister has already said".
That is, the words of the prime minister on February 7, "there is no need for the resignation".
For the government, in short, the words of the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio are authentic.
For FdI, as Minister Daniela Santanchè clarified,
not even the commission of inquiry into the political use of the judiciary,
relaunched by FI, is on the agenda.
An idea that "was born even in the last legislature signed by all the majority and opposition parties", underlined the blue group leader in the Senate, Licia Ronzulli.
"It's important but it's not the priority - underlined Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani -. The first thing to do is justice reform".
Even in FI we continue to glimpse a soul of struggle and a government.
