"We are working for a government pact, not to build ultimatums, vetoes or conflicts," said the Democratic Party secretary, Nicola Zingaretti, at a press conference. "Italy would not understand a rebuff of the fallen government," Zingaretti explained.

"We do not believe in the contract model, with two parallel programs," said the secretary of the Democratic Party, at the party headquarters after the first programmatic table for the possible formation of a new government.

And on the names he says: "In a government of change and discontinuity the discontinuity I believe must also be guaranteed by a change of people, there are different opinions but I reiterate my position, also convinced that a solution will be found in a confrontation. to find her and I am convinced that we will find her.

"We are very concerned about the economic and financial situation," said Zingaretti. "We will have to work on renewal for a new season also in economic policies," he added.

Di Maio a Zingaretti: Conte single name
In the morning, according to ANSA from qualified sources, a telephone call had occurred between the political leader M5S Luigi Di Maio and the secretary Dem. 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.

The secretary of the PD reiterated the no to a Conte bis, for the reasons he had already explained to the leader M5s. According to sources from the Dem secretariat, Zingaretti would have expressed "malaise" for the "ultimatums" by the Cinquestelle. The sources report that "we still work on a solution".

But the M5S has 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 ".

Renziani: "Zingaretti accepts the challenge of the M5s, green light for Conte"
"Zingaretti accepts the challenge of the M5s, a green light for Conte to form a breakthrough executive on the contents and the ministerial team". This is what Renzian parliamentary sources that push for the agreement are leaking in these hours. "The secretary - they say - must remember that a government with Salvini is still possible, resettled by the Viminale. This is why the Democratic Party must keep the bar straight, and work towards a reforming alliance, even with Conte premier".

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.
