Giuseppe Conte, leader of the 5 Star Movement, spoke during the debate on the approval of the ESM in the House of Representatives; This was a speech that many of those present described as a “melon” speech, both because of the words used and the enthusiasm. The former prime minister explained the reasons for his party’s “no” answer.
Grillini’s votes added to those of the League and the Brothers of Italy, causing reform to falter for at least the next six months.
“Giorgia Meloni lied”
The leader of the 5 Star Movement said during the announcement of the vote: “Giorgia Meloni said that we passed the ESM in the dark – but she lied to the Parliament. Only today you decide on the ESM and you take responsibility for it. We” refused when everyone wanted to push Italy and we even worked to develop this instrument in December 2020, making the ESM a community agreement rather than an intergovernmental agreement. Today you secretly brought the vote on the ESM to the parliament, but you think that Italians are so stupid? Mask your failures and thanks to you the ESM will remain an intergovernmental agreement, not a community agreement.”
Screams of the former prime minister
In some parts of his speech, Giuseppe Conte commemorates Giorgia Meloni with his “opposition” version, but he also mentions the grills of the first hour, such as Alessandro di Battista and Paola Taverna of the golden times. The voice gets louder, facial expressions become aggressive. And in one passage the former prime minister quotes the Prime Minister’s enthusiasm, which in his view is now evident only outside the institutions: “When Giorgia Meloni is ruined and red, you are the lions in your party parties in Atreyu. Why is it not turning red in Europe?”. And again, declaring his party’s ‘no’: “We are consistent, we vote no because of your incompetence, incompetence, incompetence. Unfortunately, we condemn this anti-patriotic pantomime of yours.”
dream of overcoming
It looks like the race for the European elections has officially started today. By saying ‘no’ to the ESM reform, populist parties (of which the 5 Star Movement is one) cleared the field of a problematic issue that could cause problems. The highest wall was raised by deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini after the number of immigrants doubled, the flat tax was weakened and the excise tax on fuel was not cut, despite unsuccessful attempts at mediation by Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti. He would present himself to empty-handed voters. Now the leader of the Northern League will be able to deliver this small gift to his followers. The same goes for the other front.
The 5 Star Movement in the ESM had played a similar game to the League and can now boast a card of consistency. Giuseppe Conte’s dream, which has been overshadowed in recent months by the battle between Giorgia Meloni and Elly Schlein, is to attempt a potentially sensational overtake from now until the European Championship. In the super average of political polls, the distance between Pd and M5S is not stellar: the former stands at 19.2 percent, the latter has risen to 16.5 percent. The mention of Atreyu, the Fratelli d’Italia show, was probably not accidental: during that long weekend of political events, the two main majority and opposition parties dominated the scene and polarized attention. The fiery tones of the past few days, including the Grillino leader’s press conference to demand a “jury of honor” against the prime minister, are likely to be part of a new communications strategy to emerge from the crisis. view of spring voting.
