Parliamentary Day on 1 December 2020
The Mes continues to agitate the majority and opposition parties
At the moment there is still no majority agreement on the contents of the resolution which he will have to present on December 9 in conjunction with the premier's communications Joseph Conte before the European Council. The Giallorossi will have to resort to a generic formulation regarding the month to avoid a split. In the document there should not be a definitive position on the use or otherwise of the funds, even if the opposition of the Five Stars, aindeed the most extremist part that refers to Di Battista would have liked that Vito Crimi did not go so far as to give the reform a go-ahead right now. For the pentastellato political leader “The reform of the Mes and its use, the possibility of resorting to it, are two totally distinct elements. A clear and substantial distinction. As far as Italy is concerned, our country has no need to resort to it”. On the 9th, the style of the previous resolutions will be followed, with the dem insisting on the need not to close funds without conditionality once the health plan is presented. It will be necessary to see above all what will happen in the Senate where the numbers are dancers and also what will happen in the center-right because Matthew Salvini, who saw the Head of State yesterday, and Giorgia Meloni, unlike FI, are not for the Mes. For now, the government and the majority are stalling: "Reforming the European stability mechanism is not the same as using it", explained the Minister of Economy Robert Gualtieri in hearing before the House and Senate budget, finance and policy commissions of the EU. Whether to use it or not will be decided by Parliament before the Eurosummit on 27 January: “The yes to reform of the Mes it also serves for banking crises and is functional in sending a positive message to the markets. Another thing is the use of the pandemic credit line. As is well known – underlined Deputy Minister Misiani – there is very strong dissent both within the majority and within the opposition. Until an agreement is reached, it is not used”.
The table on the government program is proceeding slowly
It is a majority table still marked by tension that is held in the evening to take stock of the situation government program. The group leaders of the majority and the Minister for Relations with Parliament meet Federico D'Incà which comes with i 29 program points of the majority separated from the objectives achieved so far: "It was not superfluous work for our offices", explain ministry sources. At the meeting convened at 19:30, the Government expected each group to present i new goals which, second Pd, M5S, Leu And iv, are to be added to thegovernment agenda to update it between now and the end of the term. Which, sources who participated in the meeting explain, actually happens, but, at the table in progress, Iv's tackle arrives: "Substantial proposals were brought to the table on the Mes, the school, the vaccine plan, mission units for the Recovery Fund in the budget, however it seems they do not want to discuss the merits, but to postpone it indefinitely", explain Renzian sources, recalling the deadline for the tables (the one on the program and the one on the agenda), December 4, which, they underline , it is already well beyond November 30 that the premier had indicated Joseph Conte in the summit of the 4 majority leaders. Iv's thrust irritates the Government; shortly after, executive sources replied that, in the next few hours, the table to harmonize the parties' proposals with the initial 29-point program will be drawn up and that it will be delivered to the group leaders who will already meet this afternoon to discuss the merits of the discussion . Tomorrow, however, the table on the program and the one on institutional reforms will be convened again.
Governance on the recovery plan agitates the majority. Conte keeps the point
Also on the topic of Recovery plans there is no agreement on the Giallorossi front. “We've seen a lot of control rooms and task forces, like Colao's, maybe a little too many. We need to get the PA structures to work that already exist, we need a control room which is the cabinet", cut short Hector Rosato Of Italy alive. Even the pentastellati are cold on the project: the request that arrives is to leave the voice in the matter to the ministries and not to the technicians. The Democratic party does not get in the way of a structure that provides for the direction of Palazzo Chigi, Mef and Mise but "we certainly cannot accept, explains a dem parliamentary source, that there is a sub-government”. The node of governance will be dissolved with a amendment to the budget law. The pressing to change the direction given by the premier Joseph Conte it comes above all from the parliamentary groups, so that the Chambers are central. The prime minister keeps the point: "Parliament will be involved," explained the prime minister in an interview with Courier, on which there was above all the frost of Iv who announced a battle not only on the Mes and on the Recovery fund but also on the reforms because, Renzi sources underlined, "we continue to waste time".
