The triggering of chain consequences on the government and the majority undermines the compactness of the Five Stars. To the farewell of some dissenting parliamentarians are added the voices arriving from the bodies followed by subsequent corrections and denials, as in the last enigmatic sortie on the withdrawal of the pentastellated ministers. Contrary to what leaked in the first part of the morning, it is excluded that the leader Conte has asked for the resignation of the ministers. The hypothesis of a step back before Wednesday, disputed by the same, would be just one scenario of the many on the table of the comparisons in progress. Enough, however, to give a sense of the internal travail of the Movement, which will meet again in the National Council on Saturday morning.
Who are the 9 in the government, ministers and deputies
There are 9 exponents of the Five Star Movement in government who, according to the assumptions of these hours, the Orthodox wing would like to withdraw from the executive before Draghi appears in the Senate on Wednesday. In particular, these are three ministers Federico D’Incà (Relations with Parliament), Fabiana Dadone (Youth policies) and Stefano Patuanelli (Agricultural policies). There is also a Deputy Minister, Alessandra Todde for Economic Development. While there are five undersecretaries left, starting with Carlo Sibilia at the Interior, Ilaria Fontana at the ecological Transition, Giancarlo Cancelleri at Infrastructure and sustainable mobility, Rossella Accoto at Work and social policies, Barbara Floridia at Education. The nine are what remains of the pentastellate delegation to the government after the splitting of the dimaiani of Together for the future.
United front of the non-vote among the senators
It must be said that no crack has appeared on the front of the non-vote of confidence among the Five Stars in the Senate, on the aid Dl. All 61 senators of Conte’s party were declared absent by President Casellati, not having answered the call. But the M5S representation had weakened by one unit after Senator Cinzia Leone’s decision to switch to the IPF group. And there are rumors that give for possible further defections in relation to which line will prevail in the Campo Marzio staff.
Sparks in the National Council
No more trust regardless, even if Prime Minister Mario Draghi decides to stay. It is one of the schemes discussed in the M5S National Council on Thursday, which ended late and without a response, an organization that is updated on Saturday morning. In his speech at the joint assembly on Wednesday evening, the leader Giuseppe Conte said that yes, the 5-star vote for aid would not have taken place (due to incineration in Rome) but the support would remain with the appropriate responses from Draghi to the nine-point document delivered earlier.
The risk of confusion in the base
But the wind in the 5-star house is changing, because – it is the conviction that is maturing especially in Conte’s loyalists – the Grillino people would not understand a double step on trust, that is, first the no from hard and pure and then the yes. So no to a possible majority vote, perhaps announcing the stop to the former number one of the ECB with a strong signal, or by parading in advance the M5S delegation in government. And it was precisely this “wavering” line that raised the doubts of some in the Council, first of all Alfonso Bonafede and Chiara Appendino. You need a strategy if you want to leave, the reasoning would sound, a well-defined line without leaving room for improvisation, the accusation under the radar.
