Mattarella scraps Conte and clings to Draghi (Renzi gongola)
Turn of the Quirinale: farewell to political governments, ahead with an institutional executive. Mattarella summons Draghi
It's time for Mario Draghi.
Turn of the Quirinale: farewell to political governments, ahead with an institutional executive.
The President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, has summoned the former president of the ECB, Mario Draghi, for 3 February.
The decision of the head of state thus sweeps away any hypothesis of reconstituting a government based on the old majority that gave birth to Count 2.
So no Conte ter (for Matteo Renzi's jubilation)
It is therefore time for Draghi, for an institutional government of the president, for broad agreements.
The majority M5s, Pd, Leu and Italia Viva are not able to give a stable government to Italy.
So go ahead with a government involving the available opposition forces: first of all Forza Italia and probably also Matteo Salvini's League (with external support?).
Because, the head of state said with words that will arouse controversy in those who call for early elections, in the countries "where the vote was taken, then there was an increase in infections".
Statement indirectly criticized by the Northern League player Claudio Borghi:
In case you have not seen: President Mattarella said that in the countries where he voted, the infections have exploded. This is the only state where general elections have been held since the beginning of the second covid wave. pic.twitter.com/ZWTMIfge6F

And from the 5 Stars come relevant puffs on the choice of Mattarella:
I thank President Mattarella for his commitment to give a government to the country, but we have always been clear with the Italians by saying openly that the M5S would only support an executive led by Giuseppe Conte. On this, with coherence, we will go all the way

The President of the Republic, after having registered the failure of the exploratory mandate of the President of the Chamber, Roberto Fico, observed that at this point there are two ways: that of an office or a vote.
But he also noted that the health and economic crisis "requires a government in the fullness of its functions and not a government with activity reduced to a minimum". "Since the dissolution of the Chambers in 2013 – he observed – 4 months have passed" for a government, in 2018 “5 months”.
It would be a matter of keeping our country with a government without full functions in crucial months. All these concerns are clearly present to our fellow citizens, who are asking for urgent responses ”. For this reason, he plans to "confer as soon as possible the task to form a government that quickly faces serious emergencies that cannot be postponed", a "high-profile" position, observed the head of state.
Hence the convocation of the former president of the ECB, Mario Draghi, for February 3 at the Quirinale.
