Towards the showdown M5s-Draghi: here are Conte’s requests while the “bridegers” move
The convocation of an M5s National Council on Monday morning, a few hours after the visit to Palazzo Chigi, serves Conte to have a strong mandate to negotiate and to emphasize that the issue with the government is not personal, certainly there is the suspicion that behind the Di Maio operation there is the endorsement of Draghi (the foreign minister denied, “let’s not joke”), but the unease is not linked to messages or phone calls between the former ECB number one and Grillo, the problem for the former prime minister is political.
The president of the pentastellati is preparing the meeting with the prime minister. They both want it to be decisive. Because Draghi – and he has reiterated this several times – does not intend to be worn out or floated and even the press conference two days ago served to ask for certainties. Either he is inside or he is outside, with all the consequences that would then ensue. But also the lawyer of Volturara Appula expects clear answers when he will cross the executive headquarters again accompanied by the document that will be drawn up by the National Council and which will contain a series of five-star ‘wishes’.
The requests are linked to a series of measures: from substantial investments for the energy transition (with the no to the waste-to-energy plant in Rome) to the minimum wage, from defending citizenship income to opening a new diplomatic phase in the war against Ukraine. They tell in the Movement that the former prime minister will ask the prime minister not to put his trust in aid or at least to leave room for maneuver for the pentastellati because there is no intention of voting on the rule on the incinerator.
Conte will lay the cards on the table trying to understand if the 5 Star Movement has a political perspective in continuing to support the government. Because within the parliamentary groups – especially in the Senate – the push to leave is getting stronger. The allies of the former red-yellow front understood this, because Conte gave no reassurance that he wanted to remain anchored in the government. On the contrary. He kept his hands free Even if inside the M5s, as reported by Corriere della Sera, there are also some “pontieri. “From Todde to Crippa and Dadone, there are those who work to protect the executive.
Government, Mattarella takes precautions with an encore Draghi and opens the game of appointments
Meanwhile, however, Sergio Mattarella takes caution and asks Draghi for a possible encore. He writes about it La Stampa in a long article by the director Massimo Giannini. “In an emergency situation, in the impasse of ungovernability, how would Supermario manage to decline any request from the Head of State? Maybe even in the secret hope that the encore can reopen the via del Colle? Fantapolitics. But this is what we talk about, in this torrid Italian summer, in the corridors of the “institutional triangle”: Quirinale-Palazzo Chigi-Montecitorio “, we read.
La Stampa then goes into the merits of the armchairs. “Whatever happens, however the next elections go, the Deep State needs stability and continuity. For this reason, it is said, Mattarella has already marked the date of the dissolution of the Chambers on his agenda. The legislature expires on 23 March, and the president would issue the dissolution decree on the 22nd. early June “.
Therefore, explains Giannini, “in this way the Draghi government will still be able to personally manage the game of appointments in the” Big Seven “, that is, in the most important publicly owned companies in the country: Eni, Enel, Leonardo, Terna, Poste, Enav , Consip “. A primary source, close to these dossiers, also cited by La Stampa, has two certainties: “Of all the managers in office, only one will remain: Claudio Descalzi. For all the others it will be turnover. And the new ones will all be strictly technical, far from the party secretariats … “. The second:”The presidency of Eni should go to Francesco Giavazzi, the prime minister’s economic advisor “.
According to the reconstruction of La Stampa, instead Paolo Savona would jump to Consob, while discussing the Bank of Italy match. “Ignazio Visco expires in October 2023, but in order not to leave the appointment of his successor to the Mister or Miss X who will win the next elections, Palazzo Chigi and Palazzo Koch are discussing together the hypothesis of having the governor resigned a year in advance, next October. For him there would be an exit strategy in Goldman Sachs, as happened to Draghi himself after the general management of the Treasury and before the “move” from number one to Via Nazionale “, concludes the Turin newspaper.
