December 06, 2019 "I would not go to the vote but if they force us to do it we will do it". This is how Matteo Renzi, speaking in the analysis of Tgcom24 'Fatti e Misfatti'. "Yesterday I said that there is a 50% chance of going ahead and 50% going to vote. I would not like to vote, but if they force us to do it. It is a pity but we must take note. This game - he says - it is in the hands of the government, of the Count and of the majority forces. I have no fear whatsoever, we would certainly miss it. "

Yesterday, the leader of Italia Viva declared he was giving 50% chance "that this parliament remains standing, up to a month ago I gave it at 90%" he added. "If he remains standing, he has the possibility of electing a non-anti-European President of the Republic, and for me this is an important step," he continued.

To the hypothesis of Renzi he had then replicated the premier Giuseppe Conte calling him "a cosmic pessimist" and reiterating the estate of the executive: "Stay calm, let's go ahead, we have so many things to do", he had said.

"Sugar and plastic tax are madness"
The plastic tax "is madness" because it puts jobs at risk, and the same goes for the sugar tax, "said Renzi, regarding the clashes in the majority and the maneuver. They wanted to increase the VAT "Decided by Salvini and Di Maio," Renzi said, "and we blocked it. We have reduced all kinds of tax increases on mobile phones and diesel. The latest figures, a few hundred million euros, on plastic taxes are missing. on sugar. They are taxes that work from the media point of view but I am against them, I would not put them in. I want to fight plastic pollution but to do so you have to invest in the circular economy, recycle and reuse plastic, not massacre companies of plastic, because otherwise you prevent the transformation from old economy to new economy ".

"Unlocking construction sites"
"Is it possible to unlock 120 billion construction sites? This is the point, the rest is talk," says Renzi, who says about a possible dialogue with Salvini on the unblocking of the construction sites: "On the construction sites also Conte and Salvini must speak. And Di Maio must understand that if you bring high speed to the south it is good for everyone, if you arrange schools, ports, airports it is good for everyone, I think that Minister Patuanelli can no longer receive crisis situations but I think he wants to build opportunities for growth. I hope that on the construction sites everyone, Berlusconi, Salvini and Meloni will support the government. We need to see if the government will have the strength to do this process of unblocking the sites. We will be - concludes - by the government to unlock them " .
