December 05, 2019A little minimal opening on the prescription front opens. After the words of the Minister of Justice Alfonso Bonafede who declared his willingness to work together with the government forces, in particular the PD to find an agreement. "I am convinced that with this majority there are grasslands to work together on justice, if we agree on the objective that after the first instance judgment there is a justice response" said the minister talking to journalists on the sidelines of the presentation of the calendar of the Penitentiary Police. "If there are other proposals I am ready to examine them" but "no tools to get the prescription back under another name," he said. "I refuse to think that an M5S-center majority can undermine the government on the prescription," he added.

And the less barricadier tones of the last minutes prove it. So much so that the Democratic Party talks about reopening the dialogue. The signals, report sources dem and M5s, that arrive from both sides are in fact lukewarm, but "in the meantime we try", is still explained. On the table, the Democratic Party would have put the proposal for a suspension of the statute of limitations only for two (or, at most, three) years, after which it would start running again. "It is not the only hypothesis on which we work", stressed dem sources, "there are two or three possible ways" to prevent the entry into force as it is of the Bonafede reform from 1 January.

But, explain pentastellate sources that deal with the matter, that of the stop for 24 months of the prescription after the first degree of judgment "at the moment is a hypothesis that is not confirmed". In short, a possible agreement is not yet on the horizon, but work is being done to avoid an irrecoverable break between allies. This morning there was a meeting of the Democratic Party with all the dem who are dealing with the dossier, and a cautious and lukewarm optimism about the possible resolution of the conflict on the prescription is not hidden. An "approach" between the Pd and M5s positions, according to dem sources, "is possible". All the more so in light of the latest statements by the Guardasigilli Bonafede, who ruled out the intention to want a crisis on the subject of justice.

A truce then after the sparks in the majority and after the aut author of Luigi Di Maio to the Democrats who had irritated not a little the leader of the Senate Senator Andrea Marcucci: "I believe that Di Maio must first change the tone and the ways in which it compares with a loyal ally with the Democratic Party. The reform of the statute of limitations is in the hands of the President Conte, certainly not of the tissue of the M5S. We need a corrective intervention, Di Maio decides if he wants to share it with the majority, or let the Parliament express itself freely " He said.
