ROME. The meeting of the National Council of the M5s has begun, convened on the eve of the vote of confidence on the aid dl in the Senate. From the first rumors, the line of the Grillini hawks would prevail: leaving the classroom on the vote in the Senate on aid. But this would open up unforeseen and risky scenarios, including a possible formalization of the crisis. The leader Giuseppe Conte, as announced yesterday, in the meeting under way via zoom will illustrate his position on the measures anticipated yesterday by the government in the meeting with the unions. The Movement’s line should emerge from the Council in view of tomorrow’s vote in the Senate. A meeting of the 5S senators should also take place in the evening.
In the meantime Salvini warns: «I take for granted the words of the Prime Minister who said that he does not govern without the 5 stars, if the 5 stars make a choice, word to the Italians. If a majority force does not vote a majority decree, that’s it, we go to vote ». But Zaia slows down: the government goes ahead, says the governor of Veneto. “Debate is the salt of democracy, but at this particular moment a government is needed to make strategic decisions. I hope that there are no reasons for this government to fall, because we would enter a dangerous limbo, ”said the governor of Veneto. «We in the Lega have a role and we can play it to the end, we have our requests starting from autonomy. Can you go on even without M5s? I turn the question to President Mattarella who, as foreseen by the Constitution, he will hear the political forces, see the numbers and decide ».
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mario Draghi met the leader of Confindustria Carlo Bonomi.
According to what is learned, when the National Council is always in progress, the line being evaluated within the M5s would be to leave the Senate Chamber tomorrow on the occasion of the vote of confidence on the Aid, while maintaining the presence at the inside the government. The reasoning on the line to follow, however, internal sources explain, are still in progress so nothing definitive has been decided. However, the most extremist part of the Movement would push for a definitive exit from the executive. The discussion is still ongoing, so the game is not over. Any iron fist, however, would not be a prerequisite for leaving the government, explain various sources from Grilline. The will is to distance ourselves from the text, as has already happened in the Council of Ministers, so as not to vote on the disputed law on the incinerator in Rome, but not to let down – for now – the support for the government, pending that from the premier Mario Draghi get the answers expected from Conte and the 5 Stars to the letter with the points considered central to the Movement. However, doubts, in the meeting in progress, about the government’s strength: several have advanced the fear that the executive will fail, net of the intentions of the 5 Stars. Not surprisingly, during the meeting, the launch of an agency circulated in which Salvini warns that the failure to vote the 5 Stars to trust would mark, for the leader of the League, the end of the government and a return to the vote.
