The latest yellow on negotiations for the Quirinale the leader of Italia Viva opens it Matteo Renzi: “We couldn’t get together, we waited in vain Giuseppe Conte. He was the only one absent“Nobody, apparently, has any idea where the president of the 5Stelle Movement is. And so the majority summit, the latest attempt in order of time to find a name and a majority to support him, has been postponed.
The appointment with the “conclave” was set at 8.30. A little later, the senator from Rignano travels the transatlantic with a dark face. He is going to vote for the sixth ballot. He is definitely disappointed: “Everyone was there: Matteo Salvini, Antonio Tajani, Enrico Letta, Roberto Speranza …Only he was missing. I do not understand“. The faithful Maria Elena Boschi tries to play down with a joke: “He must have had judo“, but the former Prime Minister does not want to laugh, also because that grillina is the largest team among those in the field for the election. This is why the absence of their number one weighs heavily, and not a little. the first time that Conte disappears. Already two days ago the grillino leader had gone into hiding for an afternoon. For a few hours, no one had been able to contact him, while the rumors of a secret meeting with Northern League exponents multiplied to agree on a name Indiscretions then denied by the interested party.
Today the second episode of this strange edition of “Who has seen it?”. Or rather, someone saw the people’s advocate as he entered Montecitorio. Then nothing more. It seems a summit among the pentastellated executives, but so far there is no confirmation. On the contrary. A senator of the five-star troop, intercepted by reporters outside the Chamber, has no idea that the summit has been skipped: “Was Conte missing? This is news that I am learning now”. In short, not even the Grillini know where their leader is. That he has to watch his back from Luigi Di Maio. The Foreign Minister can count on the trust of a substantial slice of the big Five Star voters and more than once, in recent days, he has strayed from Conte’s line. Certainly in such a delicate situation it is singular that a leader of the (numerical) weight of Conte deserts a summit that can solve this puzzle that the elections of the next tenant of the Hill were for five days, putting all the other directors in the negotiation in difficulty.
