“Our war against Corona”

in Chaotic scenes that were. On television you listen to the talk, guests now more and more of the “our war against the Virus” talk. The crisis is the first large and also the lens is a complex litmus test for Italy’s Prime Minister.

Conte has been around for almost two years in office. A long time it was said, of the non-party attorney from the southern Italian region of Puglia, 55 years old, have little Format. He was a puppet of those who had pushed him to the stage, as nobody had known. Although Conte was popular in the people, he was ridiculed. That he reigned first with the right-wing Lega and then moved, according to Matteo Salvini’s quarry, flying, the social Democrats, was designed less as a rope dancer quality, but as an ideological arbitrariness. In the past few months, he held together his new Cabinet with difficulty.

Now he is everywhere, as a crisis Manager. Conte often says, he is wearing Decide the “full political responsibility” for his. The Italians will recognize in him a Leader with a steady, sure Hand. The image it is not always the case. As he announced in a media conference, the blocking of Lombardy and of fourteen provinces in the North, it was Sunday morning, two o’clock in the Morning.

Tactical Agitate for a national state of emergency is not good. This seemed a bit like betrayal. The Lega has lost in the polls significantly in popularity. In order to correct the faux pas, the proposed but now all of a sudden the establishment of a “Governissimo”, a Grand coalition government with all parties. But since no one was interested.

the Salvini’s urge for a revenge at the ballot box so not true, and that also has to do with the Coronavirus to. Because of the epidemic, a national referendum was postponed, initially for the 29. March was scheduled to have been: it is about the reduction of a Parliament, a Prime theme of the Cinque point. The number of deputies and senators should be reduced from a total of 945 to 600. The double reading of the Reform in Parliament is over, now it still needs the confirmation of the people. This is regarded as safe. However, due to the postponement of the deadline for an indefinite period of time, and because after the Referendum is still a long waiting period is necessary, also brings the prospect of new elections in the distant future.
