In the end Maurizio Lupi let himself be convinced by Matteo Renzi and will resign tomorrow. It was Lupi himself who confirmed it to "Porta a porta" after this afternoon's summit at Palazzo Chigi with the Premier and the secretary of his party (NCD) Angelino Alfano.
Lupi, struck by the storm of the public procurement scandal that brought the super-bureaucrat Ercole Incalza to jail, had no choice since Renzi openly told him that he would not defend him in Parliament.
Therefore, after the information on the case in the Chamber, Lupi will leave. "I have lost neither honor nor passion and my gesture will strengthen the government".
Barring twists and turns, Renzi will keep the interim ministry to himself but another representative of Angelino Alfano's party will enter the government: he will be the former minister Gaetano Quagliariello, former minister of institutional reforms in the Letta government, who will be entrusted with the ministry of regional affairs.
