Renzi: “I don’t even think about bringing down the government.” But he continues to blackmail Conte on TV and dictates new conditions: “Take the Mes”

He says he does not want to bring down the government but then speculates to resolve the crisis by looking for a new majority in Parliament. He does not go to meet Giuseppe Conte but then he goes on television to dictate his terms. Delete the Recovery control room? No, take the 36 billion of the Mes. Matteo Renzi it continues to maintain a far from clear attitude towards the executive that it would like to earthquake. And indeed now it changes the cards on the table, making new requests. After all the instances on the management of the Recovery’s money, now the leader of Italia viva is asking the government to say yes to the Mes, so as not to withdraw his ministers from the executive. It is only the latest change of line of the former secretary of the Democratic Party, who first says he does not want to take away support from the majority, then that any crisis “depends on the Prime Minister. From what he will say. If he wants to create a task force that defeats the government, he can do it himself ”.

The Renzians don’t go to Conte – The reference is clearly to the meeting between the Renzians and Conte, postponed to Thursday. After days spent looking for a clash within the majority, after having threatened the premier in the Senate because up Recovery fund all over again, at the time of the convocation by the Prime Minister he decided not to show up. The official reason? The commitment of the Minister of Agriculture Teresa Bellanova in Brussels which prevents her from taking part in the 13 o’clock summit: a commitment by European agriculture ministers that was already known in the past few hours, but which, until today, did not seem an impediment. The renziano Ettore Rosato, his Rai Radio 1, gave another version of the facts: “We had already warned the premier. Evidently Bellanova and Conte had not understood each other ”. Yet, until this morning, no one had raised the problem, so much so that until late last night the meeting was confirmed by both sides. Then it was sent back to Thursday at 9. “When I complete this comparison, I will summarize it, we owe the citizens maximum transparency. Political problems have been raised. The government has a responsibility to move forward, but it can do so certain conditions, having clear common objectives and a spirit of cohesion and solidarity. We cannot float, nobody wants to heat armchairs ”, said Conte, speaking in the afternoon at an event in streaming and thus showing his face more conversational.

He threatens the government but says: “I don’t want to drop it” – In the meantime, however, the leader of Italy alive continued to threaten him over the air. Despite the “bin” given to Palazzo Chigi, according to the leader of Italy alive “the the ball is now up to the Prime Minister. We have spoken clearly in Parliament ”. And since he didn’t go to meet the head of the government, he decided to dictate his own conditions to avoid the resignation of the ministers of IV directly from television: first from Channel 5, then on Rai 3. “The first condition is on health: There are 36 billion that they could go to strengthen the health service, needless to say that doctors are heroes and then not give them the money. These 36 billion are stuck with an ideological no gods Five stars and Conte: it seems crazy to me. Let’s take the money, put it on health care and stop the controversy “, are the words of Renzi who clearly refers to My. This is the first real condition dictated by the former prime minister to the current prime minister. A threat advanced while denying that he wants to bring down the government. “I don’t even think about it. However, there are 846 deaths and in front of this one can not pretend nothing has happened. That’s why we tell the Prime Minister let’s get a move on, let’s more funds for health. Let’s stop with the controversy and put European money to good use ”.

“With the crisis we do not go to the vote but we seek a new majority” – And if on the one hand the senator from Scandicci denies that he wants to bring down the government, on the other he does not deny the hypothesis of a crisis. Which – according to him – would not immediately lead to the vote as he said Andrea Orlando, deputy secretary of the Pd. “If there was a crisis, there is one thing more important than Pd which is the Constitution, which provides that we go and see in Parliament if there are numbers for a new one majority. But I continue to hope that we are not talking about the crisis but talking about how to spend European money well ”. Then he denies having created this chaos because he aims at a reshuffle: “If we don’t agree, we won’t we do buy with two armchairs indeed we are also willing to leave the two chairs of ministers we have. We are not looking for a stool but we want Italy to run again. IS’ an absurdity think of solving a political problem by arranging armchairs “. And even “the absurdity” was himself who formulated it, last November 22, when interviewed by Lucia Annunziata he had said: “The theme of strengthen the government team there is even if the majority does not expand. We must get out of this phase of emergency, I would say after the budget law, with a strongest team because there are from spend 200 billion euros to manage for the next 30 years“. In the evening, therefore, the former premier went to be interviewed by Bianca Berlinguer a Cartabianca to launch another series of sttacchi at Palazzo Chigi: “I secret services belong to everyone“, He said referring to the fact that Prime Minister Conte kept the proxy for intelligence for himself. “This thing must be changed. The presidents of the council get help from a person who has institutional strength.”

M5s: “Do you want the MES? His government took away 16 billion from Sanità “- However, it is above all the advanced condition on the Mes which ignites the debate. In fact, the 5-star Movement replies to Renzi- “Renzi insists on the Mes. Legitimate position, which we obviously do not share but we understand why we see, in the insistence on making debt with a risky instrument, the attempt to put a patch on past choices ”, write the crickets on the facebook page of the 5-star Movement. “As the Gimbe Foundation and the Corriere della Sera, the Renzi governments have taken away from Healthcare 16 billion in 2 and a half years. Dear Matteo, we understand you, but the Mes is not the best tool to repair your mistakes ”. The 5-star post is accompanied by a graph according to which the Monti, Letta, Renzi and Gentiloni governments have cut a total of 36 billion in healthcare, as many as the Mes.

The accusation already denied: “Government not consulted on Recovery” – Before the appearances on TV in the morning, the former secretary of the Democratic Party was quick to use his e-news to continue blackmailing the executive. Reiterating first of all that he is ready to withdraw the ministers and then to officially open the crisis. Then it started again from the accusation that sul Recovery plan the government has never been consulted. A news denied however from Everyday occurrence last Friday: at least 16 meetings were held at the ministry on governance and distribution of funds. Despite this, Renzi writes: “The Prime Minister has convened the majority parties. The night blitz that he would have approved a document not shared by anyone and a task force capable of replacing the government and parliament has been officially blocked. I had asked this in Parliament (here) and today I am happy that everyone agrees Italy Viva“. In reality, just yesterday, Conte reiterated that the task force will be there, as requested by the EU, and that it “will never be superimposed on institutional steps”.

Boccia: “Giochini in full pandemic is irresponsible” – But what is the plan of the leader of Italia viva? For now, deliver a document to the premier with the requests of his party. “On the issues of the government’s” qualitative leap “we will have our say to the premier with a written document as soon as there will be an opportunity to meet (not today because Bellanova is in Brussels). As soon as it is delivered to the premier, we will send it to all friends of the Enews. We are doing a battle for ideas, not armchairs: the ministers will also come to the meeting, who are ready to resume their mandate, if needed. Because those who say that we mess to have half an extra seat must take note that we are the only party that is ready to give up seats, not to ask for them “. While the allies are silent, even in the hope that the tensions may subside, it was the minister for regional affairs who spoke out Francesco Boccia: “Anyone who thinks of playing palace games in the middle of a pandemic proves to be a irresponsible“He told Rainews24. “Talking about a crisis is simply surreal. Citizens are confused because instead of facing the pandemic there are those who put the liturgies of politics before them. Fortunately I am part of the Democratic Party and Zingaretti does not discount, he has put the cohesion of the majority on his shoulders from the beginning. The Democratic Party deals with the problems of the country“.
