- Arm wrestling on the undersecretaries, Conte wants the list immediately
Share
12 September 2019The appointment of the undersecretaries of the Conte government does not seem destined to come today. If he learns from sources in the executive, he would go towards an obstruction to another Council of Ministers, since the list of parties would not be ready.On the agenda of the CDM scheduled at 15.00, however, neither the appointment of the undersecretaries nor the decrees for the assignment to the ministers of certain delegations appear: among others, Tourism to Dario Franceschini and Foreign Trade to Luigi DiMaio.
After another day of frenetic contacts, meetings, expectations and hopes of the aspirants, the game of the 42 undersecretaries of the new government would not seem closed.
The ambassadors of M5s and Pd met in the evening, to try to bring a more or less complete list of names to Giuseppe Conte in time for the Council of Ministers convened at 15. But the Dems are pessimistic: "We are ready but the Five stars no. " "We would like to accelerate but others want more time," says Leu. Haste stems from a stringent need: without the undersecretaries, the government's work cannot really begin. Conte da Bruxelles has let the parties know that he expects a list in time for the CDM: "It would be good to be able to complete the team". It cannot be ruled out that a Council of Ministers may or may not be referred to it on Friday morning.
It would be a wish of Quirinale himself, according to parliamentary sources, that the government is at full strength and at full capacity as soon as possible. Conte should see delegations in the morning: Spadafora, Patuanelli, Franceschini and Orlando would have met - but there are no official confirmations - in the evening to accelerate. However, some knots remain to be resolved.
