At 16.00 pm the start of the consultations at the #Quirinale. A call, as a rule, to the former president Giorgio Napolitano and then to follow, they crossed the door manned by two cuirassiers, the president of the Senate, Maria Elisabetta Alberti #Casellati, and the president of the Chamber, Roberto #Fico.
A news beaten by Agi: the door that creaked and struggled to close in recent consultations has been changed. A door overused in recent years, worn out by too many consultations. Recall that the last elected government was that of Silvio Berlusconi.
After the high offices of the State it was the turn of the parliamentary group for Autonomies (Svp-Patt, UV) of the Senate. Followed by the Mixed group of the Senate and the Chamber. The group of Free and Equal Montecitorio ends on the first day of the consultations.
The senator Pietro #Grasso, in an open letter addressed to the secretary of the Democratic Party, Nicola #Zingaretti, and to the political leader of the 5 Movement stars, Luigi #Di Maio, anticipates the position of #Leu. "This is not the time for tactics, personalities, partisan interests, be they small or large. It is time to serve Italy in the noblest way that politics can do "," Dear Nicola, dear Luigi, a government is needed that forever archives the season of anger, beasts on social media, hatred, contempt for the institutions of the Republic. Let's build it on an agenda that will do the job; that restores dignity to people; that defends and invests in school, health, research, innovation; that promotes social justice; who fight against the climate emergency. Let's use the next 3 years to really realize the project of a different Italy. The numbers are there, just want it and don't fall into the traps of crossed vetoes. We do not hand the country over to uncertainty or - even worse - to Salvini's right. It would be the biggest mistake".
Tomorrow, instead, the parliamentary groups of Brothers of Italy. At 11 it will be the turn of the groups of Pd of Senate and Chamber, to 12 to those of Forza Italy, to the 16 to the groups of the Alloy and finally, at 17 pm, to those of the M5s of the Senate and Chamber. -
In these two days, Mattarella will check whether the voting party or the non-voting party is the majority party. However, it seems unlikely that there could be an exploratory assignment. In fact, the head of state should immediately ask the main political forces if they are willing to make a new government and indicate the name of the possible prime minister. The timing this time should be faster than last time, when three months passed from the elections in March 2018 before finding the yellow-green agreement.
The budget law and the international agenda hang over the birth of the new executive. By August 26, all countries must notify the European Commission led by the German Ursula von der Leyen her candidates: Italy aims at the Commissioner for Competition. Another important appointment is scheduled for Saturday with the G7 meeting in Biarritz in France, where a resigning Giuseppe Conte will represent Italy, perhaps for the last time, considering the voices and the will of the pentastellati to support a Conte bis.
