In Italy, the M5S and the Democratic Party have finally managed to find an agreement to govern together. It could be that the end of crisis is near.
In Rome, we expect the future coalition government between the Democratic Party and the 5-star movement. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte promises "a fairer Italy" and "the return to the forefront of Europe".
General applause and the Milan Stock Exchange takes 2%! In Brussels, Jean-Claude Junker raises his glass. At the Quirinal Palace, President Mattarella smiles to the ears, welcoming the former and future prime minister. A little more, he kissed her. Here is a man that everyone appreciates, he is discreet, he is serious, he speaks softly. A year and a half ago, nobody knew him. From now on, he moves forward in a cloud of incense. Last weekend, he landed in Biarritz with his head under his arm. And Donald Trump said the good of the little thing. And the other Donald, Donald Tusk who chaired the European Council outbid.
This unanimity has an explanation. Her name is Salvini and Di Maio. Giuseppe Conte is reassuring next to his two deputy prime ministers. It was they who had chosen him as the referee and who made him king. And the fairy tale, the tale to sleep, is that Giuseppe is not considered guilty, or responsible, of the policy of the government he directed.
This Thursday, he promised a new humanism, investments in the Mezzogiorno, respect for the environment. He talked about everything but immigration! It's just the subject that has electrified Italy for two years.
Giuseppe Conte must succeed a Rubik's cub this weekend, distribute fairly the ministries to the Social Democrats and 5-star movement. But it's child's play, beside the real challenge: to assume the politics that Mattéo Salvini embodied. Or, drop the hard line on immigration that defeats NGO boats, deters smugglers and discourages migrants.
