February 17, 2020 "I don't want to go to elections. There were others who had already made the agreement with Salvini. In addition, there will be no elections for months (after the March referendum, colleges have to be redone and therefore technical time is needed). So if the Conte Bis government falls, there will be a new government. Not the elections. " So the leader of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi, in a passage of his enews. In any case, he explains, his party will not be part of a possible Count Ter. "For days - he denounces - many of our senators have been approached by invitations to leave Italia Viva. Some of them have already been indicated by some media as ready to flee. If ten senators from Italia Viva passed on the other side there would be Count Ter: third government in three years, with a third different majority. I don't believe it, also because I know the senators of Italia Viva and I don't see ten ready to leave (for now I don't even see one, actually). they don't have the numbers and they are realizing it right now. But if they have the senators they are looking for and the numbers for Count Ter, we will happily be in the opposition. ""None of us - remarks Renzi - said that we want to discourage Conte. We said that we do not share the battle over prescription. And that we will rely on that our numbers. Point. We do not go back on this. For us, the prescription does not the end of the government is worth: that's why Bonafede would do well to stop him, before combining the patatrac. Who is the arrogant? Who like Italia Viva says: "We don't agree on this" or who like Bonafede says: "Yes does it do as I want, even if we don't have the numbers in Parliament? "asks the ex-Prime Minister rhetorically, who in another passage attacks:" A part of the government and the majority has worked throughout the week to throw us out and do without our votes, because we did not follow the prescription of the incomprehensible justicialist turn of the Democratic Party. Our fault is defending the guarantees for citizens from the inefficiencies of the State. Our punishment? Outside the Government, in no me of 'zero tolerance', after a hard reprimand on the lack of education. As if proposing content and carrying out one's ideas was prohibited. What then is how to forbid politics in the name of good education ".
As for the possibility that the government crisis weakens the national economy, Renzi shifts the focus: "What weakens the Italian economy is not a possible crisis but the lack of a vision, a horizon, a capacity for choice. On this Italy Viva gave more ideas than all. Remember when others wanted to increase VAT? Well today the data of Japan that increased VAT in autumn 2019 came out: devastating data, GDP at -6.3% on an annual basis. Perhaps we were not entirely wrong in blocking the increase in VAT. And in any case the Italian economy weakens when anti-business choices are made, not when discussing politics ", summarizes the leader of Iv.
