Government: exams never end

Today in the House vote of confidence on the development decree, in the afternoon Berlusconi opens the check in the Senate. Napolitano reaffirms the commitments in Libya with the allies, sanctioned by the parliamentary vote: but the League, with Maroni, confirms Pontida's line. For ministries in the North only representative offices. In the background the 40 billion maneuver.

The Government tries to start over from Parliament. In fact, today the Montecitorio hall will pronounce itself on the trust requested for the development decree and immediately after on the provision. Meanwhile, in the afternoon Berlusconi will open the verification to the Senate and thus pronounce himself on the requests solemnly placed by the League on the Pontida lawn. Requests, actually attenuated after yesterday, late in the evening Carroccio and Pdl allegedly reached an agreement on the fact that at most a few representative offices will move to the North. All this after Alemanno and Polverini had launched a popular collection of signatures to stop the Northern League initiative in the bud and while the opposition in Parliament announce an agenda on the immovability of ministerial offices.

But in the meantime it was the head of state Giorgio Napolitano who firmly reiterated that Italy, as far as Libya is concerned, according to what has been sanctioned by Parliament, remains on the side of the allies in the intervention requested by the UN. Foreign Minister Frattini also explained that each of our decisions cannot be unilateral, but must be taken in the appropriate international forums. These interventions did not convince Carroccio, so much so that the Minister of the Interior Maroni confirmed point by point the requests arrived from the meadow of Pontida.

Also and above all on this today the premier will have to say something in the speech with which he will open the check at Palazzo Madama. In short, for Berlusconi and for the government (also lapped by the judicial inquiry into the Bisignani case) the exams never end. We start today with the parliamentary ones. But in the meantime, our accounts and those of our companies continue to be under scrutiny by the rating agencies and by Europe. Given that yesterday Moody's also placed some of the most representative companies under observation, such as Enel, Eni, Poste, Finmeccanica and Terna. All this, while the economy minister Tremonti could anticipate the contents of the 40 billion maneuver, as requested by European bodies and by Confindustria.
