The day after the majority split in the Senate, Matteo Salvini and Luigi Di Maio canceled all commitments and are in Rome, but the Northern League leader denies the hypothesis of a meeting with the pentastellato leader who is at Palazzo Chigi with his parent.

"We never liked the palace toys and this debate on the seats is getting tired. We went to the government not to ask them, but to cut them. And we put it on paper in the contract, together with the League," he writes on Facebook Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio, recalling that in September, we vote on the constitutional law that cuts the number of parliamentarians.

About the law now being examined by the Chamber, Di Maio recalls: "There is a reform of the 5-star MoVement that awaits the last vote on September 9. On September 9 we will definitively cut 345 parliamentarians. It means that in the next elections many old politicians will have to start looking for a job ". In his opinion, "it is an epochal reform against the privileges of politicians and in favor of common sense. For years the State has only been able to ask, from 9 September instead it will begin to return something back to the citizens: we save half a billion euros to put up roads, hospitals, on the reduction of taxes. Only the last vote is missing and I hope nobody will pull back at the last minute, it would be very serious. In fact, it would be a signal to the country. The signal of those who do not want to change anything. beautiful but not enough, we need facts ".

The deputy premier M5S arrived at Palazzo Chigi this morning at around 11am, after canceling all the commitments that were scheduled for today. Di Maio has met pentastellate vertices. This morning he was in the Chamber of Deputies, and then he went to the headquarters of the government where the M5s leaders of the Chamber and Senate, D'Uva and Patuanelli also arrived.

Salvini: "Something broke in the last few months"
Let Matteo Salvini mount tensions and fears. Yesterday afternoon, knocking at the door of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. And it sets its conditions for moving forward. Then in the evening the meeting in Sabaudia where he clarifies his position: "I don't care about replaying or replaying two ministers more or less, I am interested in being able to do things. As long as they could be done, I went ahead like a train. should I realize that we can no longer do, better do as in marriage when we don't get along. Make the choice that adult people have to make, divorce. And I have some experience with it ". "The right choice that always satisfies everyone is not possible. I hope to please many. There will always be someone who does not agree. But we are in a democracy". However, he underlines "the choice must be made quickly, our fate is in the hands of the people".

"I will never get a negative word out about Di Maio or Conte", but "something has broken in the last few months". So Matteo Salvini from the Sabaudia stage, after recalling the government's results. "The last of the things that interest us is having a few more ministries, a few more seats. In fact, the seven armchairs of the League are available to the Italians. Or you can do things or go back to voting". "I'm not made for half-measures, or things can be done in full and in a hurry, or just sitting there warming up for me," says Salvini. "Keeping us 7 ministries for not being able to do things, all of them, 100 out of 100, is useless".

Castelli (M5S): "For us it goes on"
"For us it goes on, there is a government contract. We have very important battles still to be made, especially long-term because this is the policy of the M5S for the sustainability of citizens and businesses. On tax reduction there is a maneuvering at the door very dense that we have every intention of carrying forward ", the Deputy Minister of Economy Laura Castelli (M5S) says today. "Journalists like to talk about splitting. It is politics that communicates, that has the tones and what you are seeing", he adds.

Molinari (Lega): "We need more reasonable ministers"
"We have never said that the positions have to be changed with the ministers of the League. We could replace some ministers with other members of the 5 stars who have more reasonable positions." Thus the leader of the Chamber of the League, Riccardo Molinari, intervenes this morning on Radio 24, talking about the possibility of a Count - bis. "In the 5 stars there are brakes that we could tolerate first - adds Molinari - now we can no longer do. The new polls require us to assert ourselves on the positions we do not share," he adds. And he sends a message to Minister Tria: "Either he follows the indications of the majority or there is a problem like all the other ministers".
