Two "calls" will be called. Each senator will vote from the post, with entry into the hemicycle in groups of 50 every ten minutes, in alphabetical order.

The senators of Italia Viva met at the assembly before the vote and the reservation on voting intentions has not yet been lifted. In the last hours, Pd and M5s have warned Matteo Renzi's party: if the motion will vote, the crisis will open, there are no alternatives. Last night the President of the Chamber of Deputies Roberto Fico insisted: "In that case a political problem and a government crisis will open, so I think it will not happen". 

Yesterday afternoon the group leader Iv in Montecitorio Maria Elena Boschi had a two-hour talk with Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte at Palazzo Chigi to try to untie the knot. On the table, in addition to Iv's attitude towards the motion of no confidence, there may also have been the package of proposals that the party had sent to the Prime Minister in recent days. Meanwhile, the M5s makes a square around its minister.

Rosato: "We are not cheering to send the government home, we are asking for institutional representation"
"We are not cheering to send the government home but to straighten the government line". So Ettore Rosato coordinator of Italy lives, on Radio too, on today's Senate vote on the Minister of Justice. "Today we will listen to the minister and we hope that the things we have said will be clearly represented by him. Many things that are contained in Bonino's motion can be shared," he added. "In the emergency we are experiencing, we have a duty to keep the bar straight on justice by asking Bonafede about the precise commitments that we hope to hear today in the Chamber," he underlined. "There is a Cencelli manual - he adds, speaking also on Radio 24 - we ask for institutional representation like others but we have not asked for any undersecretary for justice and Gennaro Migliore could make the minister better than Bonafede".

Bellanova: "IV vote based on the minister's signals"
We will listen to the minister of justice. The minister is well aware that there are sensitive issues on justicialism, we continue to think of it in a different way as on prescription. So let's wait for the minister to give important signals in this direction. On the basis of this, our vote in the Senate will be expressed. "Thus the Minister of Agricultural Policies, Teresa Bellanova, guest of the broadcast" Circo Massimo "on Radio Capital on the motion of no confidence against the Minister of Justice Alfonso Bonafede." it is about promises but about taking on the composition of a majority. We are not people who change positions when needed. You have to recognize differences and mediate otherwise you don't understand how a majority is held together. "According to Bellanova" you have to give a signal of a coalition that wants to work by mutually recognizing each other. "There is talk of reshuffling, of new government posts for exponents of Italia Viva: "This is a way to make the comparison lesser", replies Bellanova, "Italia Viva did not ask for subgovernment posts, but it posed a problem".
