The total reorganization of the Italian political forces continues in view of the early Italian parliamentary elections on 25 September. The formation of a government is expected to be difficult.
In the latest gallops, the far-right Brothers of Italy and the center-left Democratic Party secure exactly the same percentage. That is, they touch 23% of the voting intention.
The conservative alliance, however, as a whole, is ahead, in all the opinion polls that have been done so far, with a twelve percentage point difference. Despite this, Berlusconi’s Forza Italia is constantly losing important executives. So far, three ministers and two MPs have left Silvio Berlusconi’s party because they believe that he has changed his overall political position and that he is succumbing to all the pressures of the extreme right.
To a large extent, these elections will be decided “at the center”. The moderate space, that is, is expected to act as a defining “needle on the scale”. For this reason, Enrico Letta’s progressive Democratic Party is urgently trying to create new alliances, starting with the newly formed liberal party “Azione”, Action.
Difficult to form a credible government
It has not been made clear, however, if apart from the center-left and the center-right with the extreme right, a third, autonomous pole will take part in this political confrontation, which will belong precisely to the space of the center or if, finally, the moderate formations will proceed to separate alliances.
As for the Five Stars, which in 2018 received 33% of the votes in Parliament, they are facing a huge problem. At the gallop they are now at 9% and according to all analysts, in the coming weeks they will again try to project a radical, militant profile. With a possible return to the arena of politics, in fact, of their founding member and former executive, Alessandro Di Battista. But it may be too late.
Everything shows that after the elections, the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella will have to make significant and multi-day efforts to be able to guarantee the composition of a stable and reliable government. And to send, of course, a reassuring message to Brussels, Washington and the markets.
