A few days after the intervention of Prime Minister Draghi in the Chambers, the parties are moving to try to piece together the pieces of a crisis that many do not want, but increasingly probable. Even today, eyes focused on the 5Stelle Movement, which brings together the National Council in search of a still distant square. With the hypothesis of the withdrawal of the pentastellated ministers from the executive having dropped, Giuseppe Conte finds himself dealing with a party divided between those who would like to confirm confidence in Draghi and those who insist on leaving the government. Lega and Forza Italia hypothesize a new majority without 5 stars while FdI returns to ask for early elections. For his part, the prime minister seems willing not to yield: the conditions to continue are not there, he would have confided. In short, early elections seem the most probable hypothesis.
