February 14, 2020 "Renzi? What did Renzi from the South say? He didn't say anything? What is more important today as news of a ten-year plan for the South?". So Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte in Gioia Tauro where he presented the Plan for the South, responds to the leader of Italia Viva. Applauded by the audience, he continues: "Citizens from politics want this, the answer is here, not in controversy". Then addressing the press, the premier adds: "I didn't want to be offensive, we must also respect the role of the press but from this spontaneous applause we all, politicians and the press, must grasp what is the concreteness of political activity. It is easy to fill an article in the newspaper with a controversial issue, more difficult to fill it with content. We must all commit more, even we politicians to offer you concreteness ".

"If they want a Conte ter, take a seat. If the Premier wants to kick us out, do it: it's his right", Matteo Renzi wrote on Facebook. The leader of Italia Viva had written: "We think of Italy and keep our battles high". Renzi in the post recalled that "in politics there are those who look at the polls and point to sympathy and those who look at Istat data and point to growth, to GDP, to business confidence". The ex premier explained: "This is my last post on prescription. Now that the position is clear, let's talk about taxes, construction sites, business crises. Italy risks a devastating economic crisis, the government must change pace".

If it does not, the implicit message, it will be necessary to look for new ways to avoid the worst in the country. From Italia Viva it is explained that the will is still to keep the government going, avoiding "gathering provocations" that would come from Conte himself.

"The position of the Lodo Conte is unconstitutional according to the main experts. We will try to change it in Parliament before it is rejected by the Constitutional Court as already happened during the week to the Bonafede Law". So Matteo Renzi on Fb arguing that "this is a cultural battle for us. We will not give up just one centimeter. The Pd has chosen to follow the grillini, we have chosen to follow the competent people: lawyers, magistrates, experts in the field".

"If I have to work to carry out the government program, it is such a responsibility that I would carry it out by putting aside any personalism. Any likes or dislikes would not count, because I am naturally inclined to look at the common good and the collective superior interest", he said, speaking with journalists in Gioia Tauro, the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, about the controversies with Matteo Renzi and Italia Viva. "We do not personalize - he replied to those who asked him if he trusts the ex premier - I have no problems with Renzi and I will never have them".

On the future of the government he says: "I have the responsibility of government and I asked for the trust to carry out a program. What sense would it make to work for a Count Ter?", Said the prime minister at the Conference for the south.

And on possible contacts with Italy, Viva Conte says: "I have not heard from Iv, but consider that we were first in a meeting at Palazzo Chigi and then I left to come here: but my doors are open," Conte told Gioia Tauro.
