"M5S alone in Emilia and in Calabria". Yellow light split, other than contract

Rome, Nov. 26 – Il 5 Star Movement he will run alone in Emilia Romagna and Calabria. To confirm it once and for all is the political leader Luigi Di Maio. Guest of Serena Bortone ad Agora, the Foreign Minister has denied the hypothesis of an agreement with the PD in Calabria, reiterating the intention of the M5S to present itself as an alternative force. "Callipo? – says Di Maio referring to the Calabrian presidential candidate – I deny any agreement with the Democratic Party in Calabria. When I talk to Grillo and we discuss local government issues, we both agree that we can converge on the issues but we cannot support the candidate of a party. If we do convergence on the issues, it's fine but we never talked about pacts, Olive trees or anti-Olive trees ”. The same goes for Emilia Romagna: "It was described as the region of the M5S in war – explains Di Maio – I found so much affection and out of 60 interventions that I heard 59 told me we have to go alone. Only one said to support Bonaccini but we – specifies the political leader M5S – we cannot by statute".

Grape: "No second M5S consultation on the vote in Emilia Romagna"

At the same time, the 5 Stars Francesco D'Uva stated that the Movement will not hold a second consultation on the regional elections in Emilia Romagna: "AWe have just voted on Rousseau, I do not think it is appropriate to do it again", He stated in an interview with Corriere della Sera. "We would be uncomfortable in a regional agreement with the PD. It is better to make an alliance with the civic forces ", he explained, although it is" right to be together in Rome, because you cannot govern yourself ". D’Uva then ruled out that the outcome of the vote had an impact on the government: "Only a fool can think of such a thing, it is absurd that a government is hanging on to the result of a" regional election ". Easy to say. Less easy for the Democratic Party, which if it were to lose the red stronghold par excellence it would have enormous difficulties to remain in government. Di Maio also wished that the regional elections would not be a referendum on the government: "It also happened in Umbria, the day after the elections the Umbrians disappeared".

Yellow split, other than government contract

But the real political knot is cohabitation at Palazzo Chigi. The Pd responded stubbornly to the M5S when it proposed to sign a government contract as it did with the League. The contract formula (starting in January) was repeated by Beppe Grillo himself. But the PD delegation leader in the government, Dario Franceschini, has rejected the hypothesis of a "contract guaranteed by a notary because no signatures are needed, but a political agreement". in conclusion the dems want to keep their hands free. The recent, bitter battle over the Mes – the so-called save EU states, that the premier Giuseppe Conte, in deference to the diktat of Brussels, would like to "trim" to the Italians – who sees the 5 Stars against and the favorable dems says a lot. Not to mention the discussion and approval of the Budget law, which resumes today the process in the Senate Budget Committee. In short, on the economic policies, the yellow and pink are split. And in the middle – let's not forget – there is Italia Viva di Renzi.
