The big issue that has been taking hold for weeks, influencing choices, alignments and political positions is the future tenant at the Colle. The Quirinale match could be another chapter that is not easy to manage. President Sergio Mattarella called himself out and repeatedly reiterated his no to a possible encore. The full names would also indicate the current Prime Minister Mario Draghi, but it is clear that for a majority so heterogeneous and different for political alignments, from the Democratic Party to the League, passing through the Five Stars, continuing with the current Prime Minister is the preferred choice and more obvious.
It is no coincidence that the leader of the Democratic Party Enrico Letta, today in Lucca at a party initiative to present the primary elections to designate the center-left mayoral candidate in the next spring municipal elections in the capital, said that “we will build a broad alliance, democratic, progressive in view of the next political elections that will take place in 2023, not before. It takes patience, but this is how I interpret my role, we must be open and work to the maximum to create cohesion in a wide field ». Elections in 2023 means, from a PD perspective, having a Mattarella bis and Draghi at Palazzo Chigi.
This is how Matteo Salvini thinks who, yesterday, during the feast of Fdi Atreju, spoke of “a central center-right, not only strategically but numerically”. Reiterating that for the “Quirinale Berlusconi is a real candidate”. Today at the party assembly in Puglia Salvini stressed «that the League has the honor of leading a center-right that has the right cards to be the protagonist of the choice of a president who, finally, does not have the Democratic Party card in his pocket. A president of the Republic chosen jointly. From Monday I will call all the party secretaries, everyone, from the smallest to the largest, to say let’s sit around a table and talk about it ».
Cautious Renzi while Conte chiara gathered his followers
On the other hand, Matteo Renzi, who maintains, does not spare an attack on former Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. “Draghi saved the country, compared to Conte who was not up to par, the premier and also the president of the Republic would do very well. Thank goodness we have one we can play in two different roles ». And the former premier? Conte has gathered his hips, as well as with a view to reorganizing the Movement, also with a view to possible elections. «The Movement must be everywhere – said Conte -, with the maximum presence in the territories and a constant dialogue with members, administrators, associations, civil society and the Third sector. We must immediately elaborate at least three proposals for each Committee, the M5S must dictate the political agenda ». The eDrax premier spoke about it this morning during a meeting with the vice-presidents and the 17 political committees just elected from the base, with percentages around 90%. “Each of the committees must immediately elaborate at least three proposals in the field of its competence,” added Conte.
