(Finance) – With 410 yes, 49 no and one abstention, the Chamber today confirmed the confidence placed by the government on the Aid Dl. The provision thus starts the final vote expected on Monday in Montecitorio. But the tension with the Five Star Movement remains high. The first signal came today with 28 defections in the pentastellato group. And the game in the Senate – where the regulation does not allow to separate the vote of confidence from the final one as in the Chambers – remains an unknown factor.
“We vote for confidence in the government, we want to collaborate with the government: yesterday we brought a document with the priorities of citizens, families and businesses – explained today the leader of the M5s Giuseppe Conte -. There is therefore the availability, but also the urgency, that those important things are done. As for the final vote on the text in the Chamber, as we have said, these are measures that we have loudly invoked, some we have directly suggested, such as those of support for families and businesses, but frankly we did not understand why there was the obstinacy to insert a completely eccentric norm, which has nothing to do with the material of the supports and which concerns the prospect of an incinerator which is absolutely obsolete. This is why we have taken a line that cannot be to share content. When we get to the Senate we will see. “In the document delivered yesterday by Conte to Prime Minister Mario Draghi during an hour-long interview, the M5s sets nine conditions: from the end of the suspension of the Dignity decree to the superbonus, from an extraordinary intervention for families and businesses with a budget gap to a cut in the tax wedge in favor of workers. The deadline set by the Movement to accept the requests, avoiding the possible exit of the pentastellato group from the majority, is set at the end of July. Draghi has the task of finding a margin of mediation.
M5s deputies could decide to abstain on Monday final vote on Dl Aid, while at Palazzo Madama the pentastellated senators could leave the Chamber at the moment to express themselves on the text. Even without the Movement, Draghi would still have a majority in the Senate, but it is clear that any decision not to vote the confidence would have serious political consequences.
