Governo Conte al capolinea: il j'accuse contro Matteo Salvini

Rome, August 20 (askanews) - "At the end of the debate, I will go to the President of the Republic to tender my resignation to him." The outgoing Prime Minister stated this in a tumultuous session of the Senate. The yellow-green government, forced into crisis by the League, has fallen, but Giuseppe Conte has taken more burdens off his shoulders than pebbles, in a speech entirely aimed at Matteo Salvini, a long j'accuse, from his irregular behavior to crucifixes to Russia: "The behavior adopted in recent days by the Minister of the Interior reveals a lack of institutional sensitivity and a lack of constitutional culture." "Allow me to say that the Minister of the Interior has shown himself to be pursuing personal and party interests." "You announced this crisis by asking for full powers, and I heard you call for the intervention of the streets; this view of yours worries me." "Those in positions of responsibility should avoid juxtaposing political slogans with religious symbols during rallies." "If you had agreed to come here to the Senate to report on the Russian affair, you would have prevented your Prime Minister from appearing in your place, and you would have also refused to share with him the information you possess." A harsh speech, therefore, punctuated by applause and protests from the Northern League in a surreal atmosphere, with Conte speaking to the chamber, but addressing Matteo Salvini, who as Deputy Prime Minister was at his side. But he then returned to the League benches to retort: ​​we had to bring down the government of the Noes. "The Saviano of the day would have been enough to receive this barrage of insults; the Prime Minister was not needed." The League leader calls for a safer Italy, made up of a sovereign people, of families with a mother and a father. Salvini's cry is always the same: let's vote straight away, we have no fear of losing our seats. But the crisis remains pending at the Quirinale, as does the possibility of a government with the Five Star Movement and the Democratic Party. Meanwhile, Senator Matteo Renzi, in his speech, sent a message to the Five Star Movement: "I don't know if, in the name of responsibility, we will vote for the same government in the future. I am certain that if this were to happen, I will not be part of this government.
