The obstructionism of Pd, M5S and Avs if not already organized, is still expected. Today the decree on Public Administration, which contains the rule that excludes the “concomitant” control of the Court of Auditors on the implementation of the Pnrr, will arrive in the chamber of the Chamber and all the deputies of the majority have been alerted. “Ensure presence in the courtroom from 2 pm”, is the notice sent to the parliamentarians of the various centre-right groups. And it is not a foregone fact since it is a post-long weekend Monday. Around that time, in fact, the interruption of the general discussion could be requested and the government could raise the question of trust in the text.
The process, according to insiders, should be completed by Wednesday and – since the decree expires on June 21 – the Senate process should also be sealed off. «We believe that if trust in the PA decree is requested, it will certainly be granted because it is a measure that Italy needs. As for the rule on the Court of Auditors, if we want the Pnrr to be successful and that is to conclude the works by June 2026, there is no need for intermediate checks, but final ones “, cuts short Tommaso Foti, group leader of Fratelli d’Italia to the Chamber, which branded the criticisms received by the European Commission on the role of the Court of Auditors as “a field invasion”.
«Perhaps someone had gotten used to a certain acquiescence from Italy and instead now finds himself facing a government that firmly defends its principles. In the past governments would have said let’s abolish the rule. This time it didn’t happen and this can generate nervousness », he attacks. There are not a few within the majority who notice a diversity of behavior on the part of Brussels compared to when Mario Draghi was managing the dossier, but the defense of the line – from the premier downwards – remains clear: no isolation in Europe.
Indeed, Foti insists, «on the contrary: Giorgia Meloni is already highly appreciated both within the European Council and in the G7 and in the G20. For a politician who defends the national interest, it was not obvious to achieve this goal so quickly”. The oppositions, in any case, are on a war footing: “We will give battle, the government is forcing the Court of Auditors,” they assure from the Democratic Party. «It is inconceivable that even on this occasion the government could escape a democratic discussion, we want to present our firm reasons against a decree that gags the Court of Auditors but we expect that as early as 2 pm, as it seems, the government will be able to raise the question of trust, closing off any space for discussion», explains Filiberto Zaratti, leader of the Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra in the Constitutional Affairs commission of the Chamber. And if Action and Iv do not see “coups” in the cancellation of the “concomitant” control of the accounting magistrates on the Pnrr, the M5S is also preparing for a tug of war: “Let’s see what happens, we will do battle in the courtroom. It’s something serious» assure the pentastellati, ready to request more space for discussion. In fact, the one on the Pa decree may not be the only trust of the week in the Chamber. “The government could also put it on the drought decree”, is the rumor circulating in Transatlantico.
