The prime minister in charge Mario Draghi he finished the first round of consultations, today and tomorrow a second very fast lap and then he will go up to Colle to present the team of the new ministers. You do not want to leave any initiative to the parties, the team will be decided by Mario Draghi and President Mattarella. Is it or is it not the government of the President?
A prominent place will be taken by the undersecretary to the Prime Minister and Mario Draghi already has very clear ideas, according to today's newspapers: he should be a technician, a jurist or an economist of the highest level, such as Daniel Franco, general manager of the Bank of Italy and former state accountant, or Luisa Torchia, jurist and student of Sabino Cassese and Massimo Severo Giannini.
Instead, the parties remain DEFENSE, Health, Environment, Education e economic ministries. For the economic ones in the running there are the current operational vice president of the EIB, Dario Scannapieco, the Deputy Director General of Bank of Italy, Luigi Federico Signorini, and Marcella Panucci, who was general manager of Confindustria from 2012 to 2020.
But in the shortlist for Mise (Economic development), Mit (Infrastructure and Transport) and Mef (Economy and Finance) there are also Carlo Cottarelli, Lucretia Reichlln ed Ernesto Maria Ruffini, current head of the Revenue Agency. In agreement with the head of state, the president in charge could choose to leave Luciana Lamorgese to the Interior Ministry and to the Justice to place Martha Cartabia, former president of the Council. A technician would also be assigned to the Farnesina, and in this case the strong name remains that of Elisabetta Belloni, general secretary of the foreign ministry.
Linda Laura Sabbadini, today at ISTAT, it would be supported by the Democratic Party for the Ministry of Equal Opportunities. It could play a role Enrico Giovannini, vying for the Job. In this scheme the most coveted posts for the parties would be the remaining spending ministries, from Defense to Health, from the Environment to Education. For the Democratic Party they run Dario Franceschini, Andrea Orlando and Lorenzo Guerini. The pentastellates instead offer three names: Luigi Di Maio, Stefano Patuanelli and Stefano Buffagni. Forza Italia would put the names of Antonio Tajani, Renato Brunetta, Anna Maria Bernini e Mariastella Gelmini. The League keeps the names of Giancarlo Giorgetti, Riccardo Molinari and Massimo Garavaglia.
There are some confirmatory hypotheses Dario Franceschini, Luigi Di Maio e Roberto Speranza. Among the party leaders ready to enter the government there would be that of Matteo Salvini, which could alternatively give way to its number two Giancarlo Giorgetti.
Mario Draghi will do everything possible to bring the new ministers to the Head of State for the oath next Friday. Then a very interesting game, for the balance of representation of the parties, could be that of the posts of Undersecretary in the various ministries. The rules provide for the appointment of a maximum of 65 representatives including ministers, deputy ministers and undersecretaries.
