Bagarre at Montecitorio during the premier's reply
Climate in the Chamber of Deputies during the response of the Prime Minister after the debate that preceded the fiuducia vote. Welcomed by stadium choirs from the benches of the League, Giuseppe Conte was repeatedly interrupted and repeatedly interjected with the deputies, also recalled by the President of the Fico Chamber. "I have to make a premise concerning the past, in particular many interventions of the Lega and Forza Italia hide strong emotional reactions, of vehement proclamations," said the Prime Minister.

"Treason? This is a great hoax"
"You talked about betrayal but let me say that I know your communicative ability but endlessly repeating these words will not be able to change the reality of the facts: this is a great hoax. The fact of thinking that a single political force or even his leader can decide every year at will or even in his will to bring the country to the elections is irresponsible, "says Conte in the courtroom, responding to center-right deputies shouting" elections ".



"This government presents itself to you not at night but in a linear and transparent manner. In a linear manner, M5s Pd and Leu worked on a project to protect the good of the country. And I used two concepts: courage and responsibility", continues With you. "In my speech I quoted Hannah Arendt, who distinguished between prejudices and judgments - recalled Conte -. Pd and M5s found themselves in opposition and had to overcome prejudices, it was a difficult decision and I understand it. prejudices, aware that they sit here in the interest of Italians ".

"Vulgarity from the League. Did you want more seats?"
"The deputy Garavaglia I worked with for months used an expression that I consider vulgar, 'you want to be bolted to the seats', it's an expression I don't find appropriated because for me an armchair is an element of responsibility, then I have to think, that you wanted to go to the elections to get more seats? ".

"With the European allies you have not helped"
"I say this to the League: let's say that even with European alliances you haven't helped me at all, eh," says the premier.

Melons: from the opposition without discounts
Before the call, it was time for voting declarations. "You will not have the trust of Fdi, we have difficulty in recognizing respect, other than trust". Thus, in the Chamber, the leader of the Brothers of Italy, Giorgia Meloni. Addressing the premier Giuseppe Conte, Meloni added: "Vulgar is to bolt to the seats. It is that you do not understand what the priorities are." The MP announced "an opposition without rebates" against the M5S-Pd executive, calling it "perhaps the worst government of politicians terrorized by popular judgment".

Gelmini: Forza Italia will not vote for confidence
"We will not vote confidence in the government, this executive once again does not come from the majority wanted by the Italians, but by the fear of going to the vote. We have serious doubts that this government can live up to working for the country in these difficult conditions ". This was stated by Mariastella Gelmini, leader of the Forza Italia in the Chamber, during the voting declarations on confidence in the government. "In the government program we find a list of good intentions but there is not a number, there is no coverage," Gelmini added, "many empty words and wrong far from the real country."

Molinari: he told us about it for 14 months
"You mentioned that there were electoral conveniences behind the decision to break up. I could say that too many were not, but I wouldn't tell the truth. The truth is that a year ago you were talking about a sovereign government, asking for trust for a government capable of changing the European balance. We had believed in it. You knew that you were leading a sovereign government that wanted to change Europe. " This was stated by the leader of the League, Riccardo Molinari, in the classroom. "I would not know how to call it if not betrayal, inconsistency. Thanks to the vote of the five stars in Europe you have not changed anything. You have told us bales for 14 months. You have made the lawyer of himself, not that of the people. The Monti government - he adds, addressed to Prime Minister Conte - he was born as his own, with the same purpose, to maintain the status quo, to prevent the people from voting ".
