Today is a day of truce, pending the outcome of the vote in Friuli, indicated by the center-right as essential to have more persuasive force towards President Mattarella. The decision of the Democratic Party is expected, after the words of Matteo Renzi, also in response to the appeal letter from Luigi Di Maio. The dialogue between Lega and M5s is expected to restart, despite the opposition of Silvio Berlusconi, in the face of Matteo Salvini's proposals.
Meanwhile, at the Quirinale, the effects of the possible variables of each scenario are being assessed. The goal remains to give a government to the country, which is why we remain silent so as not to create confusion in a delicate moment. But even if the attempt born from the last exploration should fail, the next possible path is being identified at the Colle.
The no is true for every task in the dark. Even today, the center-right has received the request for an investiture of the coalition to seek the votes necessary for trust in Parliament. But Colle is opposed to blind adventures, which would give no guarantees of success or estate.
All that remains is to call the parties back to the Quirinale, perhaps for a third round of consultations, which would represent an appeal and in part a pull of the ears, albeit calm. If no one responds positively to the call for responsibility, the risk of going to elections in October would be very real.
But for Sergio Mattarella this hypothesis has two contraindications: the risk of provisional exercise and the doubt that the stalemate of recent months can be repeated with the electoral law unchanged. For this reason, the Head of State will try in every way to encourage a discussion on a modification of the Rosatellum and also the launch of the budget law quickly, in order to reach elections with the accounts in safety. At Palazzo Chigi, in the summer, there may no longer be Paolo Gentiloni but a transitional, institutional premier accompanying these two steps.
The opening words of Renzi could not be missing. Kick off the "third Republic" with a constituent legislature, which approves an electoral law and a constitutional reform, perhaps on the French semi-presidential model with a ballot. Through a president's government that lasts for a maximum of two years. It is the proposal with which Matteo Renzi, on his return to the public scene after the electoral defeat, tries to relaunch the role of the Democratic Party, to unblock the impasse without ending up being "carers" in a government with the Five Stars. "You make the proposal", is the message sent to Luigi Di Maio and Matteo Salvini: "The Democratic Party is ready to sit at the table". As of now, there does not seem to be much doubt about the proposal being supported by the Democratic Party. Already on March 14 Dario Franceschini proposed a constituent agreement on electoral law and single-chamber reform, and on the same day Carlo Calenda also relaunched an "institutional executive". And Maurizio Martina has always affirmed the "responsibility" of the Democratic Party. A few days after a party leadership convened to decide whether to open up to a government with the Five Stars, the former secretary, who is still a point of reference for the majority of the party, places a tombstone on every possible agreement, challenging Di Maio to a meeting in streaming that would reveal the impossibility of an executive together. He does so with words that make the "governists" of the Democratic Party very irritating, because - observes a manager who is on Martina's line - evokes a possible agreement as the result of "fireplaces" who want to "divide up seats as undersecretary and have seats in the board of directors ". But the former leader does not seem to care: if Martina wants to sit down to make a comparison in streaming with Di Maio go ahead, it is the sense of his reasoning, but then if there was a government the Five stars would have good game - to name one. - to blame the failure of citizenship income on the Democratic Party. The only government that the Dems could support, he says, is one in which the M5s and the League promote a constituent season, to return to the vote "in a year or two". With which government? “The formula will be decided by the President of the Republic” Renzi cuts short. What matters is that there are the winners of the elections. And it could be convenient, the former prime minister argues: if the M5s and the League fail to establish a political government - he says - they risk paying for the "theater" of these fifty days with a drop in an early vote. The model that Renzi has in mind has already been put on paper in Parliament by two parliamentarians very close to him: Stefano Ceccanti in the Chamber and Tommaso Cerno in the Senate. It is a French-style semi-presidential system. And, as a consequence, an electoral two-shift electoral reform, based on the model of mayors. Other than making a party at Macron: Renzi assures that he wants to copy the institutional system. And shuffled with his move, from the TV studio of Fabio Fazio, the cards first in the internal debate in the Democratic Party.
