September 16, 2019 At the Senate there are ten for the moment: Bonifazi, Bellanova, Comincini, Ginetti, Grimani, Cerno, Marino, Faraone, Renzi and Nencini (although a note from the PSI makes it known that the latter "is and remains socialist") . Also by Nencini the mark and symbol will be used to constitute a new formation at Palazzo Madama, although a discussion will have to be undertaken on the norm governing the creation of autonomous groups. In the Chamber there should be many more Renzians ready to tear. There are those who expect to be at least 25.Renzi calls Conte
In the evening, Renzi had a telephone conversation with Prime Minister Conte, to inform him of the decision to leave the Pd. The Adnkronos learns from sources close to the senator. In the same call, the former Democratic Party secretary assured President Conte that he would continue to support the government with conviction. Renzi's phone call to the Prime Minister is confirmed by Palazzo Chigi. Nothing on the content instead. This is what Palazzo Chigi sources know.
According to rumors raised in the T7 of La7, the interview would have served Renzi to anticipate to the premier the announcement of the formation of parliamentary groups autonomous from the PD both in the House and in the Senate loyal to the government. With the indication of Minister Teresa Bellanova as head of delegation to the government of the new parliamentary majority force, also composed by the minister Elena Bonetti. The vice-president of the Chamber Ettore Rosato, on the other hand, would assume the role of coordinator of the new Renzian formation.
Tuesday night at "Door to Door"
Tomorrow, Matteo Renzi first in an interview with a newspaper then from the living room of 'Porta a Porta' will officially dissolve the reserve. The splitting is now done. The former prime minister will explain the political reasons for which he has decided to abandon the Democratic Party, he will argue that the Democratic Party has shifted too far to the left, which has disowned some important reforms such as the constitutional one and the Job Act, it will stress the need for preside over the camp of the moderates, or a center that can then carry on battles independently. Renzi will also claim to have taken the first step towards the establishment of a yellow-red government. An account, however, and an alliance to save the country's accounts, another is to espouse the thesis that a union between the PD and the M5 stars is now necessary.
The former prime minister is opposed to a marriage between dem and pentastellati but will reiterate that he wants to be loyal to the government and will confirm his confidence in Prime Minister Conte. The government expects Renzi's move and above all to understand whether the 'R factor' will be destabilizing for the majority and the executive. The fear that autonomous groups may harm the navigation of the government is there, but Conte aims first to tighten on the games carried out in these days, starting from the theme of immigration - on Wednesday the bilateral with Macron is expected - and then with the law budget (on the same day the premier will meet the unions). Renzi would have called Conte to reassure him. Nobody - this is his reasoning - wants to put the government at risk. Zingaretti and Di Maio are also waiting for the operation of the senator of Florence.
For the majority, the move by Renzi is inexplicable, it has no political motive. These days there have been several appeals on the part of the big dem - Franceschini in the first place - to get Renzi back on his feet and the pressure from the reformist base is also strong, with Guerini and Lotti engaged in a work of conviction on the deputies and Senators of strict Renzian observance. Renzi's operation will start first in the Chamber and then in the Senate. In the Chamber the group leader should be Marattin, while in the Senate the name Faraone is given. The Renzians are busy in these hours in the constitution of the Statute of the movement that should be called 'Italy of the yes'. For now, the arrival of members of Forza Italia is not expected, but dem parliamentary sources reveal that 7-8 senators would be ready to join the group later. "Better make the group right away and make things clear in the beginning," explain the Renzians who should leave the Pd group of Montecitorio on Wednesday. After a few days it will be up to the senators.
Franceschini: divisions made Mussolini triumph
Fiery discussion in the Pd deputies' chat on Renzi's split. Even Dario Franceschini would have intervened with these words: "In 1921-22 fascism grew more and more, using anger and fears. People, socialists, liberals had a majority in Parliament and gave birth to Bonomi governments, then Facta 1 then Facta 2. The litigation and the divisions within the parties made them weak until Mussolini triumphed in October 1922. History should teach us not to repeat mistakes ".
