Quirinale, the center-right votes for a name

It was not enough for the quorum to drop to have a President of the Republic in the fourth vote. Between blank ballots and abstentions, the votes for Sergio Mattarella, the outgoing president who has repeatedly said he does not want a new mandate at the Quirinale. 166 preferences for him, votes that come from various political parties. They could increase if there is no real dialogue between the parties and certainly will not reach the fifth vote with a shared name.

The center-right has decided to bring a candidate from the coalition to the courtroom (voting at 11 am). The name should be that of Elisabetta Casellati, president of the Senate, alternatively one of those released in recent days as Nordio, Frattini and Massolo. The problem is that the center-right saw yesterday, by abstaining, that the votes to choose alone do not have them.

The Democratic Party and the rest of the center left has already made it known that it will not support candidates proposed unilaterally. The hope of Salvini is that a few pieces come off and vote the proposed candidate, but it seems difficult way to go. Perhaps it is only useful to see how compact the center-right really is in view of a negotiation by Letta, Conte and Speranza. Giorgia Meloni would have asked for this compactness test.

«Proposing the candidacy of the second position of the state, together with the opposition, against their government allies would be an operation never seen in the history of the Quirinale. Absurd and incomprehensible. In short, it would represent the most direct way to blow everything up ». Enrico’s tweet Read it is a few days old, but it was promptly relaunched and it is a no to the name of Elisabetta Casellati.

The other names on the pitch are always the same as Draghi who yesterday called Berlusconi to the hospital in Milan a Casini, the most political of the candidates, passing through Professor Sabino Cassese, in addition to the name that always reappears of Mattarella. President of the Republic apart from every name carries vetoes and that of Draghi above all puts the government and the coalition at risk. In short, in a week it seems that nothing has been resolved, perhaps something has become complicated.
