Summit in the afternoon at Palazzo Chigi with a declared objective and another implication. At today's summit, the majority parties will try to untie the knots on the economic maneuver. In the background, however, the tensions erupted in the aftermath of the negative vote in Umbria with Di Maio, who stresses: "Enough electoral alliances with the Democratic Party" and Zingaretti warns: "I do not want the vote, but the government changes pace", while Salvini insists : "The sooner we vote, the better."

Zingaretti
"I do not want to go to the vote and I will do everything to keep this government alive. However, if you were to vote tomorrow the Democratic Party is the first party, it would have more deputies and senators in the House and the Senate, it would not be so for the other parties, but we say no, first Italy ".

After the defeat in Umbria and the tensions in the majority, the secretary of the Pd tries to revive the action of the yellow-red executive. "The majority must change pace," he says, "fight less and produce more. It serves the country, otherwise we will never be recognized as a credible alternative to the right."

The priorities are economic measures: "We need to cut taxes to the lowest wages of Italians. We passed from July, when we said we tax safe deposit boxes, to a season in which we say: we laugh at middle-class Italians a thousand euros more ". And on the subject of alliances for the next regional elections: "Each region will choose the best alliances on its own. The theme is not the fate of the Democratic Party or the M5s, but the destiny of the country: you will have to find the right alliance to obtain the results".

Zingaretti also tries to defend the Democratic Party: "I am happy with the Democratic Party: despite everything, the coalition's biggest force is confirmed and also in Umbria as the pillar and bulwark to contend and oppose the right. Every action against the Democratic Party is a favor to Matteo Salvini and to the rights that are being reorganized ".

Then the governor of Lazio on Renzi: "The alliance with the M5s in August was not on the agenda and if anyone had doubts these was the undersigned. My relations with Renzi have always been of mutual respect. No I had others contacts with him. Then, within a difficult debate, the alliance was decided unanimously with Renzi inside who was the main sponsor of the alliance with the M5s ". The secretary of the PD also has time to reflect on the prime minister: "Conte was not the candidate for president of the Democratic Party and does not have a privileged axis with the Democratic Party, I have only one privileged axis, the one with the citizens. Now Conte is doing his work well, let us worry more about the Italians and less about our personal destinies, this will be rewarded by the people ".

Mulè (FI)
The reactions to Zingaretti's words did not wait. "Citizens have expressed a severe judgment on the recipes put in place by this government. Recipes that are wrong if growth is at zero point, if citizenship income has failed in its purpose which was to create work as well as give a livelihood for poor families, if the employment figures show the bankruptcy also reported by the companies, if from 2018 well 33 million Italians, from Trentino to Sicily, have chosen to be governed by the center-right. findings in the real country and the maneuver is only the last fruit of this poisoned tree ". This was stated by Giorgio Mulè, a deputy of Forza Italia and the sole spokesman of the Chamber and the Senate.

Gelmini (FI)
"After the tramway remedied in Umbria the parties that support Count Bis are clearly on the verge of a nervous breakdown. The Democratic Party, which with Zingaretti had cherished the idea of ​​a 'structural alliance' with the grillini, loses a another region and continues to slap Di Maio and Renzi, the 5 Star Movement plummets and its political leader - in open contrast with Conte, Grillo and Fico - declares the experience of local agreements with the dems over. that, in search of a permanent center of gravity, meanwhile he is content to gloat over the failures of others ". This was stated in a note by Mariastella Gelmini, leader of Forza Italia in the Chamber of Deputies. "What will happen in the next few hours? The path appears marked: a majority in implosion will reopen the already unsafe construction site of the maneuver, with each party aiming to impose its own moments with ultimatums and ever increasing tensions; the fiscal decree, arrived in recent days to Montecitorio, will be taken by assault by Pd-M5S-Iv-Leu, who will aim to rewrite it to the sound of unsettled and reciprocal resentment amendments. home as soon as possible. The center-right alternative is ready to lead Italy ".

Mill (M5s)
"The majority summit on institutional reforms concluded in a climate of peaceful and collaborative confrontation. In the Senate we will intervene with a majority amendment on the bill concerning the equalization of the active and passive electorate of both houses, while in Montecitorio the intention is to work on a bill signed by the majority, which will be deposited and hedged in a very short time, on the number of delegates necessary to elect the President of the Republic and on modification of the Senate election base ". Thus, in a note, Anna Macina, M5s group leader in the Committee on Constitutional Affairs in the Chamber. "The majority - Macina points out - is compact and there is a sharing of objectives. Only in this way can we work well and bring the results home. The intention is to carry out all the commitments made in the Government program. the majority table ".

Ferrazzi (Pd)
"It is serious to have thought that the vote in Umbria was a national test on the possible strategic alliance between Pd and 5Stelle. Consequently, it is unreasonable to link the national government's estate to the Umbrian result, (not only because it represents 2% of the population, but also because it responds to completely different logics. "The senator of the Democratic Party Andrea Ferrazzi writes it in a post on Facebook." There is no automatism between alliances of political forces and sum of votes - he continues - Alliances must be built in time and must responding to logic and coherence and who tells Umbria as 'red earth' tells a story: the center right has been governing Perugia, Terni, Orvieto, Foligno for years, ie 2/3 of the total population ".
