The Draghi bis is moving away , with or without the M5s, and the legislature appears increasingly in the balance. The parties still have four days to deal with and put together the pieces of the crisis that opened with the movement's non-confidence vote in the Senate, but it is an uphill struggle.

In the meantime, the 5 Star Movement is experiencing deep tensions and a strong internal clash over the hypothesis of withdrawing the delegation of ministers . A scenario that is advancing but there is no unanimous consensus. In short, chaos reigns, and a new rift is foreseeable in the party led by Giuseppe Conte

Salvini and Berlusconi close to any hypothesis of being able to continue to sit together with the 5S in the executive and say they are ready for new elections, even if the forceists are working for an encore of Draghi without pentastellati. The Democratic Party, which continues to hope for a rethinking of Draghi, remains convinced that the "format and perimeter" of the majority must remain unchanged . While the centrists are clamoring for an encore Draghi without M5S , complete with an online petition launched by Italia Viva.

If these are the "premises", observes the Undersecretary at Palazzo Chigi Bruno Tabacci, " the legislature is over ". The Northern League player Giancarlo Giorgetti admits that "the teams are now tired" and that the "game is difficult to unlock" but hopes: " Possible a goal in extra time ".

The choice of Draghi appears to the most definitive , as shown by the words chosen to announce the resignation to his ministers and then frozen by the Colle. The pressures of Mattarella, of the European parties and chancelleries do not scratch him for now.

Luigi Di Maio's attack on Conte was very harsh: " The M5S is gone, now it's called Conte's party, it's a boss party that has decided to put its flags before security and national unity", he said. “If we go into business as of Wednesday, we will not be able to do almost anything more than what is needed to overcome the economic crisis. I'm talking about the decree of 15 billion against expensive bills. We do not have the powers to make the budget law and we will go into provisional exercise. We no longer have the negotiating power at international tables to get the gas price cap. It is irresponsible not to understand it ”.

On the international front, Moscow corrects the shot after yesterday's irony by Medvedev . “Political developments in Rome are an internal Italian affair. We wish Italy all the best possible, and to be able to overcome the problems created by previous governments. We want to have good relations with Italy , ”said the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova. “Not only the leaders, but the majority of the Russian people - added the spokesperson - consider Italy as a good partner. We have many things in common, and common goals ".

Here are all the updates on the government crisis by the hour

Giorgetti: "Forward only with forces capable of saying yes"

"What Italy needs is a political class that is capable of saying 'yes' even in the face of demanding choices that do not bring immediate consensus". Thus the minister Giorgetti in video connection with the Uil Festival in Cesenatico. "In the Cesarini area, as in extra time, you can always score but only if you can build a government that knows how to say yes in the face of demanding choices. If we have to set up a government blocked by mutual vetoes, frankly no, it doesn't help anyone. I think that in the time we have between now and Wednesday no one is holding back but with those who say 'no' we don't waste any more time ".

Tabacci: "I see no hope for Wednesday"

"In the coming days we will dance even more because it is clear that Italy cannot afford to sacrifice Draghi for a substantially incomprehensible operation" which "cannot be explained by the waste-to-energy plant in Rome.

Thus the undersecretary Bruno Tabacci, president of the CD, at the congress of the PSI. "The prospect we are facing is very delicate: entrusting the country to a 'right-right'", "the consequences of an open crisis in this way will be very serious for our country".

The leader of Fdi Giorgia Meloni said so.

Hope: "I hope that the government will go ahead with M5S"

"Our hope" is that the M5s will also be part of the majority that supports Mario Draghi. Health Minister Robetto Speranza said this on the sidelines of the PSI congress. Speranza defined the Movement's non-vote yesterday in the Senate on trust in aid "an error" but added that it was "a choice of merit linked to the incinerator in Rome". Therefore, "the parliamentary passage is perfectly right" for verification. To those who ask him if a Draghi bis without M5s is conceivable, Speranza replies: "It seems to me that Draghi was very clear and that his position must be respected".
