On 24/1 the election of a new president in Italy


At the end of the month, the process of electing the new president in the country will begin, which due to the pandemic is expected to last longer.

Voting for the election of the new President of the Italian Republic will begin on January 24. Due to the coronavirus, however, the process this time will take longer: With only one vote a day and with continuous disinfection of the parliament hall. Fermentations, however, have already begun at a feverish pace. A total of 1,009 large voters are voting: MPs, senators and representatives of the regions.

Mario Draghi’s candidacy, even though it has not yet been formalized, continues to be very strong. Many analysts, in fact, emphasize that even if Italy is a parliamentary democracy, in the event of the election of “Super Mario” the responsibilities of the president will be, in fact, increased. In addition, with the role of guarantor of the country’s political stability, so that the message is sent to Brussels that the funds of the recovery and resilience plan will be allocated in a useful and effective way.

As for Silvio Berlusconi, he insists on the same pattern, that he has all the necessary conditions to take over the presidency of the country. On paper, the conservative faction has 451 deputies and senators, plus 33 regional representatives. But the vote is secret, and often full of surprises. It is not ruled out at the last minute that Cavaliere will step back and propose someone he trusts. Like the former deputy minister despite the presidency of his government, the mighty Gianni Letta.

Uncertain predictions and possible solutions

Uncertain predictions can also be made due to the highly fluid situation in the Five Stars: 338 MPs and senators were elected, but within four years 105 became independent. There is, however, a different solution: to re-elect Sergio Matarella for a limited time , perhaps for a year, as had been done in the past with Giorgio Napolitano. At least until the state of emergency of the pandemic is overcome, that is, the parliamentary elections of 2023 take place. In this case, Draghi will remain prime minister, and then he will be able to turn his attention to higher, European positions.
