The Prime Minister and his allies of the 5 -star movement, all in search of a way out of the government, are in particular in conflict on the diplomatic line adopted by the country since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, on 24 February.
In its infinite creativity, Italian political life is capable of generating the most diverse configurations, so that no possibility, even the most smoky, can be excluded at first. The dramaturgy of a government crisis, on the other hand, obeys a fairly immutable liturgy. It all starts with a latency period, during which the opposition between two constitutive political forces forms is formed.
Then the conflict crystallizes on a subject, sometimes anecdotal – this time, the methods of a decree containing a certain number of anti -cris measures, in particular the construction of a waste incinerator in the periphery of Rome. Soon, this subject causes dramatization and threats of rupture, more or less credible. This is the moment when the two camps are gauge.
Finally, the rise in intensity is very rapid, until the moment of the outcome, which can occur in two ways: by the resignation of the head of government or the sudden disappearance, after a backstage, of the initial problem. The day of July 14, who successively saw the president of the Italian council, Mario Draghi, to lose the support of the 5 -star movement (M5S, anti -System) during a vote of confidence in the Senate, to obtain a comfortable majority, then put back His resignation to President Sergio Mattarella, before he refused her by referring to a new vote, Wednesday July 20, gave a bright example.
“No white check”
However, it is still difficult to know if the crisis is excluded permanently or if it is only “frozen” for a few days. The conflict between Mario Draghi and the current M5S politician, the former president of the Council (2018-2021) Giuseppe Conte, has been in the long term. But, more than on environmental issues, he draws his source from the opposition of the M5S to the firmness line defended by Mario Draghi since the start of the Russian aggression against Ukraine, February 24.
reluctant to the sanctions and opposed to the pursuit of military support for Ukraine, the M5S political leader has more and more openly took his distances, during the spring, vis-à-vis the line followed by the Italian diplomacy. It is for this reason that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Luigi Di Maio, left the party on June 21, leading behind him sixty parliamentarians favorable to the government line. Mario Draghi, for his part, did everything to bring in the rank the M5S in the name of responsibility.
