The anti-release decree, approved yesterday evening by the Council of Ministers, will certainly not be enough to solve the government's problems on justice and close the thorny Bonafede case. It will not be enough because the head of the shaky grillino minister of justice, Alfonso Bonafede - the man who introduced the then unknown professor Giuseppe Conte in the grillino world - hangs the motion of no confidence presented compactly by the right-wing opposition after the accusations of the magistrate Nino Di Matteo to the minister for his somersaults on the management of prisons and his alleged ambiguity towards mafia bosses. And it won't be enough because Matteo Renzi's Italia Viva told the prime minister clearly that in order to sign a new government pact, he requires, among other things, Conte's commitment to rewrite the rules on prescription, so dear to Bonafede and the Five Stars.
But that of justice it is not the only thorn that the grillini have stuck in the side of the Prime Minister expressed by themselves. The other loose mines are no less big and keep the Government and the Prime Minister on the edge.
Thus the controversy over the amnesty of migrants remains open, which splits the government vertically and pits the Five Stars against everyone. Regularizing migrants who serve in agriculture and who often live in real ghettos at the mercy of the corporals is not only an act of civilization but a requirement imposed both by need not to ruin the harvest of an entire agricultural season due to lack of personnel in the fields and from the health emergency which requires all potential outbreaks of contagion to be cleaned up as soon as possible. The prime minister also realized this, agreeing with the Renzians and the combative Minister of Agriculture, Teresa Bellanova, this time also supported by the Democratic Party. But to unblock the amnesty before it is too late and the harvest in the fields is lost, we need to hurry and Conte must find the courage to convince the grillini to retrace their steps, even at the cost of forgetting the Northern League sirens.
But it is above all on the Mes - as well as on the entire economic recovery strategy - that the premier runs the greatest dangers of going off the road, also because when it is discussed in the Chambers Conte will no longer be able to climb straws and will have to say whether the Government intends use – as Pd, Italia Viva and even Berlusconi recommend – the 36 billion for healthcare that Europe makes available to us or reject them as the Five Stars propose for absurdly ideological reasons that once again bring them closer to the sovereigns of the League.
How the premier would explain to other European leaders and above all to the Italians, who are called to make many sacrifices, that the Government is preparing to give up 36 billion euros to deal with the health emergency would really remain to be seen. But on the Mes and more generally on relations with Europe Conte reaps the fruits of an ambiguity long cultivated to indulge his grillini sponsors. Sooner or later, however, the hour of truth arrives and Conte knows it. How do you know that the desire to change horses at Palazzo Chigi is smoldering to varying degrees in all of his government allies and that what appears impossible today due to the health emergency may not necessarily be the same in a few months.
