02 July 2020To discuss what Prime Minister Conte has called "the mother of all reforms ", the majority of government has returned to meet again this morning at Palazzo Chigi. The calendar of appointments to be respected is tight, keeping in mind, however, that there are still important knots to be resolved. So from 9.30 a new majority is underway which in Conte's and government's intentions should be the definitive one and then move on today to a fundamental preconceived and between tonight and tomorrow the most optimistic foresee the holding of a Council of Ministers that can put an end to the simplification DL.

The internal confrontation, however, still seems far from being resolved. "There is an ongoing debate on a measure that we all consider very important, the simplification dl. The comparison is on procedural issues, for example the issue of the commissioners, but there is wide sharing on the need to streamline the procedures and overcome the fear of signing by public officials. We are in a severe recession, it is important to spend a lot and well. So Antonio Misiani , deputy minister of Economy, this morning to the microphones of "Radio me too" on Rai Radio1. 

He echoes him on Rai3 , to "Agorà Estate" the minister Roberto Speranza who maintains: "In recent months the government has made very difficult choices demonstrating strength and courage in facing the health emergency. We have shown that politics, if it wants, can decide. Now we must continue on this path. We must undo the knots immediately and proceed with great determination. "  

However, the simplifications remain differences of position to be overcome within the majority of government." Personally I have strong doubts about the rule that provides for the possibility of awarding contracts without tender up to five million euros and I think this needs further study in the government. In recent years we have witnessed a sharp weakening of the technical structures of administrations, with the inability of public offices at all levels to manage contracts and tenders correctly and to keep up with technical and administrative legislation, often interdisciplinary, which requires new skills. "Undersecretary for the Environment, Roberto Morassut said , speaking on the" Agorà Estate " broadcast on Rai3. 

" As is known, many statistics from research institutes tell us that our public administration is on average older than that of other countries. Europeans. So there is a theme of reform and the  qualification of our devices to enable them to make good races because recent history teaches us that do not always go to direct the race easier, and in many cases can complicate things '', concludes Morassut.

And there are those who, from a position outside the government, invite to have greater determination and courage. "We talk about the Genova model because I believe it is the only case in the last 15 years in which a public work is started and finished on schedule. It was done thanks to an ad hoc law. Conte signed the 'Genova Decree' and he knows what we are talking about: if we do not get it into our heads that simplifications are something we must have courage on, what are we talking about? We must necessarily take risks and take responsibility for restarting the country ". He has it in La7, the president of the Liguria Region, Giovanni Toti , about the debate on the Simplification dl.

Berlusconi: "If conditions are created for a new majority, we will evaluate them"
To fuel the fibrillations within the majority that supports the Conte government, there is also an unexpected and concrete opening of Silvio Berlusconi . "I don't think that the conditions exist and I don't think Italy would need a government with antithetical political forces between them. We and the 5 Stars, for example, have a diametrically opposite view of everything. If, however, in this Parliament the conditions for a different majority, more efficient, more representative of the real will of the Italians, should be verified, of course first of all with our allies ". The president of Fi, Silvio Berlusconi said it in an interview with "la Repubblica".

"We have already voted twice for the deviations and we have been decisive. This time we will vote for it, without placing conditions, only if we have the guarantee that it will give oxygen to the economy, liquidity for production and consumption". "Since the beginning of the crisis - continues Berlusconi, confirming that he will respond to the invitation that Conte addressed to the opposition - Forza Italia has been available for confrontation. We will participate, together with Lega and Fdi, and we will deliver a dossier of proposals for the restart ".

Invitation to the opposition
In fact, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte formally invited three invitation letters: to Silvio Berlusconi, to Giorgia Meloni, to Matteo Salvini. All three confirm that they have received the letter, and appear to be available for the meeting. Of course, they have different tones and conditions, and nothing changes for the unitary event scheduled for this Saturday. The most collaborative, as seen, seems to be the Knight. From the League it is recalled that Matteo Salvini "is ready to collaborate and to reiterate many constructive proposals to the government" made in agreement with other leaders of the opposition parties. 

From Palazzo Chigi it is explained that a date for the meeting has not yet been set. The three leaders will be able to decide whether to present themselves in single meetings or all together (the latter option seems more likely). In the invitation letter, Conte explains that he believes that, in such a delicate moment for the future of the Pase, "the interlocution between the Government and the opposition forces , while respecting the roles and positions, is necessary and necessary and I hope that may prove fruitful and fruitful ".
