Giuseppe Conte between objectives, maneuvers and scenarios.
La Stampa attributes these words on the front page to Giuseppe Conte, which he intends to say to Mario Draghi at Palazzo Chigi, and allegedly anticipated the pentastellate “collaborators, ministers and parliamentarians” met or heard before and after the convivial meeting with Beppe Grillo in a restaurant in Marina di Bibbiano: “You cannot ask the 5-star movement every time to commit suicide, to vote almost systematically to dismantle its own reforms”.
The latest “suicide” that Draghi would have asked the MoVimento of which Conte has returned to hope to finally be able to become president with the “pact of sea bass” or “Vermentino” snatched from Grillo by paying the bill for lunch in Tuscany, and the one on the prescription prepared in the form of “inadmissibility” by the Minister of Justice Marta Cartabia. And voted in the Council of Ministers by the pentastellati after an unsupported phone call from Draghi himself to Grillo and phone calls from Grillo, not even denied, to the representatives of the 5 Stars in government who are too tempted by critical abstention.
Of the Cartabia prescription, let’s call it this way, designed by the government as an amendment to the bill for the reform of the criminal process under consideration by the Chamber, whose arrival in the courtroom was announced for July 23 with a decision taken by the conference of group leaders, every day Il Fatto Quotidiano describes, announces, stigmatizes, as you prefer, the perverse effects even applying them to legal events already concluded with definitive convictions. Today it was the turn of those sentenced for the G8 twenty years ago in Genoa, who allegedly remained “all unpunished” with the times proposed by the Cartabia for the forfeiture of trials beyond the first degree of trial: times ranging from two to three years for the appeal, according to the gravity of the crimes, and from twelve to eighteen months for the passage through the Cassation.
In the curious reversal of roles that occurred at least in the collective imagination, with Grillo as a moderate and governmental and Conte as an extremist, the former prime minister either really cultivates the design attributed to him but denied by him to cause a crisis in the so-called semester white which will begin in the first days of August, when the President of the Republic in case of crisis will not be able to use the power to dissolve the Chambers being at the end of his mandate, or think of finding some support in the Democratic Party. Where, however, things have changed a bit, so to speak, since the days in which the then secretary Nicola Zingaretti allowed himself to be attributed during the crisis of the second government of the Apulian professor and lawyer the slogan “Count or death”.
Even Goffredo Bettini, who had become his most generous advisor and friend in the Democratic Party, allowing himself to be interviewed every day to underline his qualities and support his confirmation at Palazzo Chigi, changed his music. Now he too, explicitly disagreeing with the positions taken precisely on the issues of justice, is concerned about the turn taken by the developments in the situation within the 5 Star Movement if recently on the sheet he expressed the hope that the Count himself will not be reduced ” paradoxically to a minority enclave “. On the other hand, the manifesto, where there is no lack of good informants, shows that not even Bibbiano Conte received a mandate from Grillo to break with Draghi.
