Today at the Quirinale the most eventful day in Republican history. After more than 80 days of crisis, finally tonight the Italians have a new government, a politician that brings together the expression of the voters, after the consultations of the 4 last March.
From this morning the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella has woven the canvas that has, in the end, satisfied everyone. The role of the President of the Chamber Roberto Fico was very important, who had the first approach with the guarantor of the Constitution after the institutional clash of recent days, when the leader of the M5S Luigi Di Maio had tightened relations with President Mattarella, "shouting" to the 'impeachment. Luigi Di Maio, challenged by the base and by the national board, had to backtrack and return to negotiate for the birth of a political government. Even the markets have not given respite and have almost marked, to the sound of unsustainable spread values, the time of an inopportune crisis.
Luigi Di Maio, who went up to Colle today, collected the proposals of President Mattarella and reported them to the leader of the carroccio, engaged in Liguria, in the electoral campaign. Matteo Salvini, seeing that the political question was beginning to take concrete form, decided to leave Liguria to reach the capital. It was necessary to ring the last pieces of the government of change. At 19.30 Cottarelli went up to the Quirinale to resume his mandate. Immediately after Giuseppe Conte, just before 22.00, he joined the President Mattarella. After more than an hour of talks, Secretary General Zampetti announced to the press that Giuseppe Conte had accepted the post of Premier and that shortly thereafter he himself would list the government team.
Giuseppe Conte came out of the door that faces the press and began, saying: "Welcome back" - to follow - we will work hard to achieve the political objectives anticipated in the government contract, we will work with determination to improve the quality of life of all Italians ".
Tomorrow at 16.00 pm the oath of the members of the new government, before the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, now nicknamed the "weaver".
