Today, Bignami is due to give evidence before the Committee of Inquiry; in a few days’ time, it will be the former prime minister’s turn: “Conte’s approach is like something out of a Pirandello play”. Meloni’s supporters are insisting on the reinstatement of the ‘No Vax’ doctors, and Gasperini, the ideologue of the National Front, says: “It’s time to let them back in. We are opposed to the health dictatorship, as seen under Conte and Draghi”.

Whilst waiting for a definitive framework to be established, the leaders are mobilising in their own ways: the secretary of the PD is touring the ‘Feste dell’Unità’, where Renzi will also be making an appearance (with his reformist agenda). The leader of the M5S is touring with his book and reigniting identity-based battles. The Green Party leader is campaigning for Lula. Strategies

The Olive Tree coalition’s ideologue speaks out and presses the centre-left: “It is lagging far behind on foreign policy. Schlein and Conte? Dual leaderships are short-lived and almost always end in disaster” 

The Movement’s vice-president, a close ally of Conte: “Regardless of the voting system, we must decide well in advance who will lead the opposition. We already have a policy framework. Between the electoral law and regional autonomy, an unacceptable trade-off has been made at the expense of the Italian people.”

Committees, public squares and a democratic crisis. The opposition is finding new vigour in the battle over the electoral law, which is making people forget the issues surrounding policy and leadership. 100 initiatives are already planned to explain the "risks of the Melonellum. More dangerous than the separation of careers".
