Government crisis, yes from the Senate to trust. Final tussle

The majority is there. Not as absolute as the one in the House, but the Conte government also resists in the Senate. 156 votes in favor with 140 doubled and 16 abstentions. The threshold for the majority was 149. All this after a day of very hard interventions and a final with recourse “to the Var”, the president Casellati had to review the video of the last minutes of voting to declare admissible two votes arrived in extremis.

They are those, in favor of Conte, of the senator Ciampolillo, formerly M5S, and the socialist Nencini. They saved the premier who would have had a majority even with two less votes, but even weaker than the one, already not strong, that he has.

Surprisingly, they voted in favor of the government two senators from Forza Italia: Maria Rosaria Rossi and Andrea Causin. Antonio Tajani had said: “those who vote yes are outside the party”. No instead of the former M5S Drago and Giarrusso.

The senator for life voted in favor Liliana Segre, attacked, without being named by Matteo Salvini. “I remind the senators for life who are preparing to vote for confidence, what the leader of the 5 Stars said about them:” they never die or die too late “” said the leader of the League. «Salvini’s words? They are superstitious, they extend my life, “Segre replied.

Now the majority will try to expand with parliamentary agreements. Opposition leaders intend to consult the President of the Republic. “We will turn to Mattarella: there is a government that does not have a majority in the Senate and stands with those who change shirts,” Salvini said. Giorgia Meloni added: «I heard about dozens of perpetrators but net of individual cases, on the other hand there are more, the center-right has maintained its compactness and it was not obvious. I spoke with Salvini, I will speak with Berlusconi. Now we have to ask for an interview with the Colle ».
