is a three-axis against Renzi

Woe to talk about the reverse of Giuseppe Conte, at Palazzo Chigi at night they flatly deny: "The premier only mediated and tried to make common sense prevail and accepted proposals that were already his own." But after the ultimatum launched on Saturday, when he said that "the anti-evasion plan cannot be touched, whoever is not a team is out of the government", Conte had to soften the line of … firmness. And he followed Luigi Di Maio precisely on the issue that is dearer to him and to the Democratic Party: the fight against tax evasion, in fact.

The proof: after a carousel of "confessionals" separated between the Count, the Minister of the Economy, Roberto Gualtieri, and each yellow-red member, the majority summit signed an agreement that largely accepted Luigi Di Maio's requests. Those against the POS fines for traders and artisans (they will start only from July 1, when bank commissions will be lowered), the defense of the 15% flat tax for VAT but with anti-smart constraints. And even jail time for tax evaders.

This success was achieved by the 5 Stars after a long meeting between Di Maio and the head of the delegation, Dario Franceschini, which took place in the afternoon. Then, at the end of a heated discussion lasting a good two and a half hours, the PD and Italia Viva asked for and obtained higher thresholds of punishment than those proposed by the Minister of Justice, the Adriano Bonafede grill. "In any case the rule will come into force only on the date of promulgation of the decree, the Parliament will be able to do things right …", they specify to the Nazarene.

On the other hand, there is a half fiasco for the other rebel: Matteo Renzi. And this is because Conte, the leader 5Stelle and Franceschini have made a pact to "harness" the former prime minister, who collects a six-month deferral from the lowering of 3 thousand and 2 thousand euros for the use of cash on the roof. But it loses on "share 100": it will not be touched. And moreover he must swallow the penal crackdown against the evaders. However, during the summit, Teresa Bellanova fought with questions such as: "Pre-trial detention becomes automatic with lower punishment thresholds !?"

The changes to the maneuver, and here Conte held the point also thanks to the request for clarification made by Brussels, in any case will be made with corrections during the approval process. Not with a new Council of Ministers, as the movement's political leader had initially asked.

It is no coincidence that the premier, to hold together the majority, has granted not a summit, but six: the morning one with Di Maio, the afternoon ones with the single parties and the evening one with the whole majority, after Saturday had done filter out of not wanting to celebrate even one. And it is not by chance that Conte has given in to a greater extent not to Renzi's requests, but to those of the political leader of the Movement committed to defending artisans, traders, VAT Number: the electoral basin in which he is competing with Matteo Salvini.

The reason: the Prime Minister, as the 5Stelle leader roughly reminded him in the double long meeting, must "inevitably satisfy the party that has the most parliamentarians". And the premier, comforted by Franceschini after the conversation between the dem and Di Maio, did it. But it is a fragile truce and moreover armed: the political and personal distance between the grillino leader and the prime minister, like the suspects, remain. Intact.
To make the balance tip in favor of the 5-Star and not of Renzi, the Pd has contributed that nothing wants to grant to the former prime minister, let alone a sensational victory on “100 quota”. "And at this stage," says an authoritative source close to Conte, "Giuseppe cannot afford the luxury of losing the support of the most loyal and responsible party." I dem, in fact.

A party so loyal and responsible to sell on the former Ilva to calm the grillini and, during the "confessional", Franceschi and Antonio Misiani told Conte exactly what he wanted to hear: "The operation of the maneuver must be confirmed". In addition, the delegation called for reinstatement of the Imu-Tasi Fund budget for municipalities.

Then, since there was, the Democratic Party for not appearing the only executioner of plumbers, electricians, taxi drivers, etc., has registered the slowdown on the fight against evasion. Such as? Filtering through to have asked what Di Maio had demanded: the cutting of bank commissions on the POS, the simplification of the rules for VAT Numbering in the flat rate below 65 thousand euros, the abolition of quarterly VAT payments "to simplify the lives of companies and the self-employed ». Thus, on balance, only Leu remained until the end alongside the prime minister, as shown by a statement by Federico Fornaro and Loredana De Petris: "The fight against tax evasion must be the cornerstone of the maneuver".
