A few hours after the second round of consultations at the Quirinale with the head of state, the summit scheduled at 11 was canceled between the delegations of the M5S, Luigi Di Maio and Giuseppe Conte, and of the Pd, Nicola Zingaretti and Andrea Orlando. As we learn from Dem sources, a phone call came from Palazzo Chigi al Nazareno to cancel the meeting.

M5s dictates the conditions
"We will review the Pd when in their party organs they will have given the go-ahead to the task of Conte. No other meeting until they have officially clarified their position on Giuseppe Conte," reads a note of the pentastellars.

Dem talk about "uphill road on program and contents"
Indeed, yesterday's four-hour meeting between the Democratic Party and M5s delegations was not enough. Fondi dem talk of "uphill road on program and contents. Differences emerge on the financial maneuver". "If they do not say yes to Conte it is useless to see each other, I am tired of toys," Luigi Di Maio would have said to his family after the meeting with the PD delegation. "It is a delicate moment and we ask for responsibility, but patience has its limits. Italy cannot wait, we need certainties. We await their official position on Conte": this is the case with M5S sources. Zingaretti will not join an M5s-Pd government, it will remain in the Region. This was confirmed by sources in the evening summit at Palazzo Chigi between Zingaretti, Orlando, Di Maio and Conte on the Giallorossi alliance, ending with nothing. And the post-summit statements make it clear that the corners to be smoothed out are many. "Road uphill on program and contents. Differences emerge on the financial maneuver. Today we continue": this is how dem sources. "It is a delicate moment and we ask for responsibility, but patience has its limits. Italy cannot wait, we need certainties. We await their official position on Conte": this is the case with M5S sources. "If they do not say yes to Conte it is useless to see each other. I am tired of playing games". This is what Luigi Di Maio would have said to his supporters after the summit.

Zingaretti will not join an M5s-Pd government, it will remain in the Region. This is confirmed by dem sources. A new summit should be held this morning at 11am.
