If with the assault on the Capitol, the sovereignists will have to reflect on Donald Trump’s controversial epilogue, in the (long) parterre of the internationally defeated there is also the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. It was summer 2018 when Politico, indeed, defined the premier the “cheerleader italiano di Donald Trump“. As the American newspaper noted, unlike other European leaders, such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte”who used their press conferences with Trump to highlight political disagreements “, Conte “applauded Trump who claimed great triumphs, from the G7 in Quebec, to the NATO Summit and to the summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki“stressed David M. Herszenhorn.
On this point, the position of Giuseppe Conte now becomes even weaker and Italia Viva goes on the attack. “What happened in the US yesterday represents a deep wound to democracy. Trump has shown in fact how populism has as its direct consequence only chaos and violence. I expected the Prime Minister Conte to distance himself, given his history of mutual friendship and explicit endorsements, from the now former US President and recognize the error. Angela Merkel did it clearly, all the more reason the Premier should have done so“Italy Viva deputy Davide Bendinelli underlined in a note. The game, as reported by theHuffpost, in particular, concerns the delegation of services. “We need to clarify William Barr’s visit to Italy ” explains Matteo Renzi talking to his collaborators, opening another front in the political crisis that has hit the government in recent weeks. In the evening the same Renzi has increased the dose, guest of Tg2: “Should Conte have harshly condemned Trump? I think Teresa Bellanova is right. We must be clear: when there is a wound to democracy, we are all on the side of democracy. One cannot imagine that if one is a friend of Trump, then he does not say clear words“said the former premier.
“Today more than ever – explains a colonel from Iv toHuffpost – Conte must leave that delegation, as has always happened with previous governments. We need a different man at the head of the Services also to shed light on the events of that summer“. It all begins, as reported by InsideOver, on June 17, 2019, with the letter sent to Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte by the ambassador in Washington Armando Varricchio at the request of the Attorney General William Barr in which he asked to “verify the role played by US personnel serving in Italy without wanting to question the work of the Italian authorities and the excellent collaboration“.
Letter followed by two talks between the leaders of our services and William Barr e John Durham, authorized in first person by the premier, those of 15 August and 27 September 2019: the first was attended only by Vecchione, while the second was also attended by Luciano Carta and Marco Parente. There was no passage through the Farnesina, the canal was direct and the premier authorized the head of Dis Gennaro Vecchione for the talks. Second Fox News, Prosecutor John Durham’s investigation “has extended “ on the basis of “new evidence” collected in Rome. The period under review runs from 2016 – before the presidential election in November – until the spring of 2017, when Robert Mueller was appointed special prosecutor for Russiagate. A time frame that in Italy would concern the Renzi and Gentiloni governments. Accusations made against Renzi in his possible involvement in the plot against Donald Trump which were formulated in an interview with the newspaper The truth gives George Papadopoulos, former advisor of the tycoon, immediately rejected to the sender by the leader of Italia Viva himself with the threat of a millionaire lawsuit and branded as “fantasies.” that Trump is also archived.
