Direct democracy, family and an "iron lady" to reassure NATO and the military. In the identikit of the new ministers who entered the Conte government, certainly a name that is not of secondary importance is that of Riccardo Fraccaro, 37 years old, loyal to Luigi Di Maio e new Minister for Relations with Parliament and Direct Democracy. His tasks will initially be two: to push for the definitive abolition of annuities for parliamentarians (already abolished for those elected from 2012 onwards, but an acquired right for the parliamentarians of previous legislatures) and to realize the utopia of the leading citizen who bypasses the institutions and decides for itself. That is, in concrete terms: to eliminate the quorum that currently exists for the abrogative referendum. To do this, he will have to amend the Constitution which in article 75 provides that, in order for the referendum to be valid, the majority of those entitled must go to vote. 50% plus one, basically.
Lorenzo Fontana, on the other hand - 38 years old, degree in Political Science, number two in the League - assumes the position of minister without portfolio for Family and Disability. His mission in government will be to stop the population decline and convince Italian families to have more children.
To the Ministry of Defense goes up Elisabetta Trenta, 51 years old, professor at Link University, the same one where Paolo Savona presented his anti-euro Plan B and which is considered the grillina training think-tank. She, Elisabetta Trenta is married to an army captain and is also deputy director of the master's degree in Intelligence and Security of the university of which the former DC Enzo Scotti is president. The new minister was called for her work in Iraq (political advisor to the Foreign Ministry in 2005-2006), in Lebanon and in Libya. Since May 2016 you have collaborated with the Military Center for Strategic Studies (Cemiss) in the field of international relations, security and defence. However, according to La Repubblica, the shadow of a conflict of interest hovers over her as her husband deals with purchases on behalf of the Defense.
Still to be reported Danilo Toninelli, married and with two children, graduated in Law and very close to Luigi Di Maio. He was the standard bearer of the grilline battles against the constitutional reforms of the Renzi government and he was entrusted with the delicate ministry of Infrastructure. To him and not to the environmentalist Mauro Coltorti who was running for the job. In fact, it is easier for Di Maio to manage the delicate chapter of the Tav and the Tap through him, the high speed in the Val di Susa and the gas pipeline that arrives in Puglia from Azerbaijan, in the event of tensions and conflicts with the League.
