Open battle in the majority over the times of the political crisis and the moves before the vote. After the decision of the League, which presented in the Senate the motion of no confidence in Prime Minister Conte, among the first decisions to be taken is that on the date for the arrival of the motion in the Chamber. But if the premier has repeatedly stated that it will not be his deputy Northern League to set the time, the League pushes on the accelerator for a rapid scheduling that will lead to new elections between September and October.

Salvini: "Parliament expresses itself before August 15th"
"The only thing I expect is that Parliament will express itself as soon as possible, not after mid-August but before mid-August": said the leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, answering Policoro to questions from journalists about the government crisis. "I - he added - I look forward and I am preparing a stable, courageous and serious government for the Italians. If not all of them had arrived No, we would not have done what we did". And on the maneuver he declared: "We are already working. We will dialogue constructively with Europe and will convince them to cut taxes to Italians, certainly not to all Italians". Waiting for him in Policoro also some protesters who challenged him with a throw of water and a banner with the writing: 'Salvini beach party - Entrance 5 Rubles'. About the alliances the leader of the League takes time: "We have not decided if we will run alone - he says - we have an idea of ​​Italy that we will submit to those who share it with us". Meanwhile he has called all the parliamentarians of the Carroccio for Monday at 6 pm.

"More happy if elections run by others, I will have more time"
"The important thing is that there are elections, then if someone else manages them, I'm even happier because I'll have more time" for the electoral campaign, "says Matteo Salvini in Isola Capo Rizzuto, talking to journalists about the controversy surrounding his double role of candidate for Prime Minister and Minister for the Interior.

Di Maio: "First let's cut the parliamentarians, then the vote"
The approach of the other deputy prime minister, Luigi Di Maio, is very different. He reaffirms the intention to bring the parliamentarians' cut to fruition first - there is only the last go-ahead from the Chamber - before returning to the vote. The leader of the 5-star Movement in a post on Facebook has appealed to all political forces: "This morning we will begin to collect signatures among parliamentarians to request the emergency scheduling in the House of Parliamentarians. Cut 345 seats of parliamentarians and their salaries. We can do it right away, just one vote missing, "he says. "Whether it's the League, the Democratic Party, Forza Italia or anyone else supporting it, we don't care. We care about it. And let's face up to Conte's statements to the Chambers. Anyway - he adds - we've been clear. The M5s is not afraid of elections, in fact, right now we are even more united, with Alessandro, Davide, Max Bugani, the group leaders, our ministers and all those who have given their soul for the Movement. , he wrote. And the M5S parliamentarians will also meet on Monday.

Count ready to communicate to the Chambers
Premier Giuseppe Conte in his press conference, reiterated that the crisis will be "transparent" and parliamentary. The premier wrote, therefore, to the presidents of the Senate and the Chamber, Casellati and Fico, to give his willingness to make his communications to the Houses. Thus on Monday 12 the President of the Senate, Elisabetta Casellati, convened the conference of the group leaders at 4 pm, to establish the date on which the motion of no confidence in the prime minister should be voted. While the meeting of the group leaders of the Chamber of Deputies is scheduled for Tuesday 13 August. Meeting which, also in this case, will serve to schedule the motion of no confidence presented by the League. The document could therefore be placed on the agenda as early as Tuesday. A request that will probably be made by the Northern League, determined to accelerate the crisis, and which, however, in order to be accepted, will have to find the consent of the majority of the Parliamentary Groups. Otherwise the discussion and the vote could be postponed to the week after Ferragosto.

Pd: vote of no confidence in Salvini and no other governments, ready to vote
To raise the tension, there is also the position of the opposition, starting with the Democratic Party. On Monday 12th August at 3 pm the assembly of the senators of the Pd will be held at Palazzo Madama. The meeting was convened by the president of the senators Dem, Andrea Marcucci, an hour before the conference of the group leaders who will have to decide the calendar of the classroom. The motion of no confidence in the Interior Minister Salvini will be asked to schedule the Senate before the motion of no confidence in the Prime Minister. To assure it, dem parliamentary sources who recall that the same motion against the owner of the Interior Ministry presented to the Chamber (and scheduled for September 12 at Montecitorio) was also presented at the time in Palazzo Madama. This is why Marcucci will ask the group leaders on Monday to respect the chronological order. The secretary Nicola Zingaretti assures that the challenge "is not lost: populism in government has failed - he says - and Salvini has accelerated the crisis because he is afraid of doing the maneuver". Furthermore, the proposal to approve the cut of parliamentarians according to the Dem sources in the Chamber "is a trick to not go to the vote and prolong the agony, in order not to take responsibility".

The deputy secretary of the Democratic Party, Paola De Micheli, at Rainews24 stated: "" There are no political conditions for another government, at least with the Democratic Party: it is the line that the national management has unanimously approved 15 days ago. The maneuver that awaits us, from 23 billion, I think should be done after a clear popular mandate, "he added.

Renzi: I don't do secret tricks
Former prime minister and senator Pd Matteo Renzi also intervenes in the debate: "Today the newspapers are full of backstage about secret agreements between us and the Five Stars. Someone already speculates that I can vote for confidence in Fico premier. And why not Toninelli premier then "Or Di Battista? They are such skilled and competent boys. Come on, boys, let's not joke," he writes on Facebook. "The crisis of the worst Government of the Republic will go to Parliament in the next few days, following the constitutional rules: in that forum, and also in the newspapers, on the social media, in the squares I will say what I think about the increase in VAT, the reduction in the number of parliamentarians, on who should manage the elections from the Interior Ministry and from Chigi. I do not do secret tricks, I speak with interviews, with speeches, with posts, "he adds.

Controversy on a jersey worn by Salvini
"Matteo Salvini cannot go on in-depth journalistic broadcasts with T-shirts or other garments that carry the indication of voting, it is forbidden by law. I wrote to the CEO of Rai Salini so that he activates himself to sanction those responsible for what happened yesterday at 'Speciale Tg1', with the League leader showing a 'Lega Salvini premier' t-shirt, and to take action so that episodes of this kind are not repeated I have also sent a letter to the president of Agcom so that the Authority verifies if abuses and evaluations have not been committed, the immediate entry into force of the Par condicio, given that we are already in fact during the electoral campaign and certain episodes must be punished harshly with the specific rules provided for by electoral legislation ". The deputy of the Democratic Party and secretary of the Rai Supervisory Committee, Michele Anzaldi, wrote it on facebook.

Giorgetti: Conte wants traumatic rupture
"I seem to have understood that Conte does not want to resign but wants to go to a classroom count and this is a traumatic break": this is how the League's Giancarlo Giorgetti returned to talk about the crisis of government on the TgR Lombardia microphones convinced that " this point a consensual separation was the most reasonable thing ".

"Now - said Undersecretary Giorgetti - I see that some rags are flying and I'm sorry". "I think that Salvini asked Conte to end this adventure in bonis" he added, explaining that the decision not to resign but to go to Parliament is a "traumatic break-up because it means there is a vote, there is a certified split". "There are two types of separation: judicial and consensual and - he concluded - there will be a judicial separation by Parliament at this point".

Fico: only presidents summon Chambers and only Colle dissolves them
"The presidents of the House and Senate convene the Chambers. No one else. The planning of the work of the classroom is established within a meeting called conference of the group leaders and nowhere else. The president of the Republic is the only one who can dissolve the Chambers and call for early elections, no one else. During the government crises the Constitution assigns extremely clear powers to the President of the Republic. This is our Republic, our Constitution, our democratic life! ". The president of the Chamber Roberto Fico writes on Facebook.
