Renzi: “Let’s wait for Conte in the Senate. The elections? Everyone knows that there will be no vote “” Conte responded to the requests of Italia viva, saying: “See you in Parliament”. We are waiting for him in the Senate, then, what can I say more? ” In an interview to the Corriere della Sera the leader of IV thus answers the questions whether the premier has changed his attitude or is willing to sign an agreement with him. Then the former premier adds: “I don’t know what this impression comes from. I know that the last day of the year the lawyer Conte deserted the Senate where we were discussing a budget law to be approved in 24 hours, without the possibility of making amendments under penalty of provisional exercise. We have been forced into this scandal by the delays of the executive and the whole Senate has expressed its regret for the mortification of Parliament ”.
And at that moment, for Renzi “the president, instead of coming to the Chamber to apologize, chose to hold a press conference without waiting even politely for the senators to finish the work”. As for the possible displaced or so-called “responsible”, Renzi says that “they tried” to get help, but “the very dry response of the groups that refer to the Cesa secretary and to the president Toti weakened the project, so in the end” the aid to the ‘responsible’ operation came only from Senator Mastella who was generous thinking about what the Grillini had said about her and her family in the past ”.
As for the possibility of a Count ter or a new executive, Renzi replies: “I don’t know which formula will prevail. I know this is the time to focus the interest of Italy and the Italians against partisan selfishness. The appeal of the President of the Republic in the message at the end of the year for the reasons of the ‘builders’ to prevail seems wise and enlightening to me ”. And on the possibility of elections, he says: “I am not afraid of anything, least of all of democracy. As for the eighteen senators of Italia viva, they are eighteen serious people.
Who know how to do politics. And who are not afraid of elections.
For two reasons. One, because elections do not scare those used to measuring themselves with consensus, the second reason is even clearer: everyone knows that there will be no elections. We have to open the schools, not the polling stations ”, says Renzi.
