Dragons towards the finish line, Five Stars splits

The prime minister in charge concludes the consultations by also meeting Silvio Berlusconi and Beppe Grillo and collecting a large majority but among the Five Stars the anti-Draghi frond is growing and the risk of a split in the Di Battista wing is also growing: for the grillini, the vote on the platform will decide Rousseau, which however Grillo himself decided to postpone.

Dragons towards the finish line, Five Stars splits

After another day of political consultations, in which Silvio Berlusconi and Beppe Grillo also presented themselves, the prime minister in charge Mario Draghi is approaching the goal of forming his government. On Wednesday he will meet the unions, perhaps on Thursday he will go to the Quirinale to dissolve the reservation and perhaps present the list of ministers. then he will wait for the final result of the Five Star consultation on the Rousseau platform. But even yesterday, albeit with different nuances, Draghi received the green light from Pd, Cinque Stelle, Lega, Forza Italia, Leu and of course Italia Viva. Among the Five Stars, however, the frond is mounting that could lead either to abstention from the Draghi government or to separation from the group that relies on Beppe Grillo: in fact, tonight there will be a new edition of Vaffa Day by dissident Five Star parliamentarians who, however, are only 17. Here are the positions expressed by the various political forces after the confrontation with Draghi.
