"We have presented some points to the President Conte that we consider essential. If they are received well, otherwise it is better to go to the vote and, I add, also soon". The political leader of M5s Luigi Di Maio speaks at the end of the consultation with the prime minister in charge Giuseppe Conte at Montecitorio. Raises the stakes in the negotiation for the formation of a Giallorossi government, giving Conte a program that doubles, from 10 to 20, the "essential" points for reaching a government agreement. Twenty posts planted on the open table with Zingaretti.

Thus, when everything seemed to suggest a downward conclusion of the negotiations for the Count-bis, the words of Di Maio, which close Conte's consultations , report everything in uncertainty.

Orfini reacts immediately: "The press conference by Luigi Di Maio is incomprehensible. Has he changed his mind? Tell him clearly." tweeted the deputy secretary Pd. Graziano Delrio echoes: "The Democrats are committed to loyally supporting President Conte's efforts. This effort alone has already restored confidence in Italy. Di Maio's ultimatums to the appointed president are truly unacceptable". And the stock markets react immediately: Piazza Affari goes red and the spread goes up to 172.

All the statements of the political leader 5S are marked by a certain rigidity, at least in tone, even in the parts that are not incompatible with the requests of the Dem counterpart. in the remarks of the Head of State: "We believe that it makes no sense to talk about changes to the security decrees - says Di Maio - the comments made by the Head of State must be taken into consideration, but without changing the rationale of those measures. I said - he adds - that we do not deny these 14 months of government ". Orfini thus returns to complain with force of the total repeal of the measures, instead of simple modifications.

Before Di Maio, to meet Conte is the delegation of the PD, led by the secretary Nicola Zingaretti, which focuses its statements on the programmatic cornerstones of the next executive. Zingaretti reiterates the need to "cut taxes on average low wages as an element of justice" and to boost consumption "and labor" with a real public investment plan and incentives for private investments, green infrastructure and for industry 4.0 ", as well as a" revolution of the concept of the right to education, with the gratuitousness from kindergarten to university for medium-low incomes ".

Sprint consultations, but without Salvini
After the sparks of the Senate, the leader of the League deserted the meeting with Conte and recalled the Lega square in Rome on 19 October against the new government. An initiative that divides the center-right: Fdi will manifest the day of trust, Fi is cold. Meanwhile, the Five Stars make a square around Di Maio: "Whoever attacks him is against all of us", says Patuanelli. And confirms the vote on Rousseau.

The prime minister told the parties that from today it will take a few days to reflect, draw up the program and define the government team, and it would be given Tuesday or Wednesday as an indicative date to return to the Quirinale and dissolve the reserve. From that date, the process that provides for the oath to the Quirinale for President of the Council and ministers will start, programmatic speech to the Chambers (it will begin from Montecitorio) and trust of the two branches of the Parliament.
