A call came between the political head M5S Luigi Di Maio and the secretary Dem Nicola Zingaretti, according to qualified sources, this morning. During the conversation, Di Maio reiterated that he did not accept any veto on Giuseppe Conte. "The whole M5S is loyal to Conte and is the only name as premier," said the leader of the M5S in Zingaretti.

Sources M5S have subsequently increased the dose: "No comparison is possible before the vetoes, like the one that continues to arrive on the premier Giuseppe Conte. If the vetoes are not dissolved and we do not get the adequate guarantees for the country it becomes all very difficult". And they add: "Saying no to Conte to find other names of political strategies means weakening the country. We would not like it to be an excuse to return to the vote. In this case Zingaretti and his must be clear".

And Grillo came back today to praise Conte. In a post on his Blog, where the contents posted during the week are reviewed, the M5S guarantor publishes again an extract of the August 23rd article dedicated to the resigning Prime Minister. "'With great pleasure I greet Professor Giuseppe Conte, we have seen him traverse a forest of clumsy, factious and mannered doubts and concerns, which he has been able to overcome thanks to the fundamental requisites for the position he is destined to fill: the psychological estate and the 'elegance in the ways' ", says Grillo's post -" I wrote about our Prime Minister, in May 2018 and this is my thought after one year ".

Fico takes off: "Resto a Montecitorio"
"Roberto Fico holds the position of President of the Chamber of Deputies and intends to responsibly give continuity to his role". This was announced by sources close to the Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies.

The name of the president of the Chamber as prime minister of a Giallorossi government had emerged yesterday evening. A name acceptable to the Democratic Party, "an excellent starting point" in the ongoing negotiations with M5S, after the no to the hypothesis of a Count bis. Already for days a part of the pentastellati parliamentarians had expressed itself in favor of the premiership of Fico.

The president of the Chamber - although respecting the third party of his role - would support the line of the 5 Star Movement's leaders, who are working for a Count bis. And there are those who do not fail to highlight how the relationship between Fico and the outgoing premier has always been characterized by the utmost cordiality.

Sources of Palazzo Chigi denied, in the meantime, telephone contacts between the premier Giuseppe Conte, engaged at the G7 in Biarritz, and the vice premier Luigi Di Maio, reported today by some media. No complaints or grievances have been made by Conte to the leader of the Movement, it is specified. Indeed, Conte was clear: at this moment we must let the leaders of the political forces work to see if a solid and sustainable programmatic understanding can be born, that can implement a broad reform program.

Conte yesterday broke a silence that had lasted for days to put the turbo alliance between the PD and the Five-Star Movement: "As far as I am concerned, the season with the League is closed and will not reopen". The message is clear: I am available to a Conte bis, but we must definitely close the door to Salvini. The jury liked the tune, which for the whole day did not get a clear answer on the end of the yellow-green experience from the Five Star Movement. "I hope the double oven hypothesis does not exist," reiterated Pd secretary Nicola Zingaretti.

However, the circle is not closed . Because Conte does not want the League, but the secretary Dem does not want Conte, who is instead supported by Luigi Di Maio. The square is still missing but the attempt at agreement seems to take shape. Yet, the deadline indicated by the Colle is approaching. The president Sergio Mattarella was clear: on Tuesday he wants clear answers. And above all, he wants a name to give the job. Then he could give some more time to allow the person in charge to form the government team. But the official statements of party leaders are suits marred by tactics. The real work to find the agreement goes on below. It's hard for everything to jump just for a name. They will be days of raises, of requests that also serve to test the intentions of the opponent.

Even the Five Stars have to deal with them. The base boils, divided between those who would like to go to the vote and those who aim for an agreement with the Dems. So much so that the hypothesis of voting on Rousseau is approaching. According to some pentastellati parliamentarians, if a Giallorossi government is born, the agreement will be examined by the online consultation if the premier is Giuseppe Conte again. Without him, the risk of a rejection would be very high. In all this, Matteo Salvini still has not lost hope.

In all this, Matteo Salvini still has not lost hope. "Never give up, ever!" He wrote on twitter. The League leader spent the day at home with Minister Lorenzo Fontana who, intercepted at the door, to journalists asking him if there is still hope for an agreement with the Five Stars, replied with a smile: "I really think so." Silvio Berlusconi seems to be the most disconsolate, attributing to the Pd-Cinque Stelle coalition "the ideas of the oldest, worst and failing left pauperist, statist and welfare" and recalls "the many damages that Italy has caused" the yellow-green one.

Meanwhile, from the race at Palazzo Chigi, the vice president of the Constitutional Court, Marta Cartabia , pulled up by some journalistic reconstructions: "I intend to complete the task of the Constitutional Court, which will end in September 2020".
