Does Renzi work for Gentiloni at the Quirinale?
How Renzi moves and agitates in view of the race to the Colle. The Scratches of Damato
There is something that perhaps explains that expression of satisfaction and at the same time of relief that was caught in Sergio Mattarella's daughter, Laura, on the royal stage of the San Carlo Theater in Naples while her father picked up the usual standing ovation that now accompanies her. in his exits from the Quirinale during this end of mandate period. It seems that the daughter, even more than her father, is opposed to a confirmation from the outgoing president, as happened in 2013 with Giorgio Napolitano to mature the conditions then lacked for the election of a successor, after the rejection of both candidates of the Democratic Party launched by the then secretary Pier Luigi Bersani: first Franco Marini and then Romano Prodi.
Seeing Laura Mattarella happy and at the same time relieved by the umpteenth manifestation of trust and sympathy for her father, we thought of something new that was maturing, or had already matured, due to an ordinary dissolution of the quirinal knot. That is, without the deviation, let's call it that, rightly or wrongly seen behind the President's recent references to the uselessly presented proposals by the predecessors and party colleagues Antonio Segni and Giovanni Leone to put in the Constitution the immediate ineligibility of the Head of State and the abolition of the so-called white semester. During which the President loses the prerogative of the dissolution of the Chambers. "Commit yourself to making these changes in the residual year of the legislature and I will lend myself to a confirmation aimed at this purpose, which would make the replication of the exception already experienced with Napolitano really last", had seemed Mattarella's hidden message. And someone had already begun to work to open the construction site for this constitutional reform in Parliament, perhaps enriching it with something else, such as constructive distrust or confidence in joint chambers ventilated by Giuseppe Conte a few days later, coincidentally.
We can now have the well-founded suspicion that, let's say, Mattarella's daughter was reassured by a meeting held on November 9 in Brussels, but of which only today the correspondent of Repubblica Claudio Tito gave news, between the European commissioner and former Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni and Matteo Renzi, famously proposed well before the annual gathering of his just ended at the Leopolda station in Florence to be a little director of this edition of the race at the Quirinale. What he succeeded in 2015 as secretary of the Democratic Party and Prime Minister with the election of Mattarella, even at the cost of breaking the pact on constitutional reforms that he had made with Silvio Berlusconi, perhaps paying the price with the rejection of the referendum of December 2016 . Of course, Renzi's position today is not that of 2015, but also as a scaled-down leader as he is, at the head of a small party that does not exceed 2 percent of the votes in the polls, he has shown in recent months that he knows and is power promoting complex operations such as the removal of Conte from Palazzo Chigi and the arrival of Mario Draghi .
The " peace of Brussels " announced by the Republic perhaps has something emphatic, but it is important that the two have returned to look for each other, to meet and talk to each other after the abrupt interruption of relations in 2017, when Gentiloni made an axis with Mattarella and did not comply Renzi's request to dissolve the Chambers after the referendum defeat. Which, having taken place with an honorable 40% yes to his reform, could perhaps have allowed him a political recovery in a new Parliament.
