"Every day that passes is a lost day, for us the only alternative to this government is to give the word back to the Italians with new elections". Thus the League, which reiterates its position: "Never asked or ask for seats, far from any hypothesis of government reshuffle". "There is the awareness and the acknowledgment that, after the many good things done, for too long on fundamental issues for the country such as major works, infrastructure and economic development, fiscal shock, application of autonomy, energy, reform of justice and relationship with Europe - it is noted - between the League and 5 stars there are different visions ".

"Yesterday's vote on the Tav is just the latest, obvious, irremediable certification. Italy needs certainty and courageous and shared choices, it is useless to go on with no, postponements, blockades and daily quarrels", the party points out by Salvini.

Conte-Mattarella interview at the Quirinale
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte had a meeting this morning at the Quirinale with the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella. Conte then returned to Palazzo Chigi. The interview - how much of it learns - would have been informative, to make "the point of the situation". There would be no talk of a crisis opening, let alone resignation.

The Prime Minister returned to Palazzo Chigi after an hour's talk with the Head of State. The premier, who showed himself smiling, did not answer the reporters' questions. Conte thanked those who wished him happy birthday and sometimes said: "Best wishes and good work".

However, according to the Adnkronos, among the hypotheses at stake, Matteo Salvini, in the last hours, would be considering to withdraw the Northern League ministers from the government. This option would be subordinated to the step back of the premier Giuseppe Conte. If he does not leave, we withdraw our ministers from the government, it would be the reasoning on the table, with a scenario expected between today and tomorrow. Yesterday evening, from the Sabaudia stage, it was Salvini himself who said that "the ministers of the League are available".

The day after the split of the majority in the Senate, Matteo Salvini and Luigi Di Maio meanwhile have canceled all the commitments and are in Rome.

Lega sources: no to reshuffle or technical government
Matteo Salvini is against any hypothesis of reshuffle, in any form. the Lega government sources stress. No also to any idea of ​​technical governance.

Di Maio: "We in the government not to ask for seats, but to cut them"
"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.

Sources M5S: madness if technical crisis returns with the crisis
"We read from the newspapers of possible government crises. The M5S is at work as every day for the country and therefore it is also the political leader, Luigi Di Maio. Anyone who today opened a government crisis, on August 8, would assume the responsibility to bring a technical government back to Italy. Thus sources of government of the M5S.

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".
