Mattarella’s hand on the Meloni government

Sergio Mattarella once again wanted to leave his mark – not only formal but also substantial – in the formation of the new government.

MATTARELLA'S WORDS ON THE MELONI GOVERNMENT

In the brief final communications in front of the cameras, after Giorgia Meloni had read the list of ministers he had just accepted, and perhaps even a little improved, the President of the Republic wanted to remind "the clarity" of the electoral results to those who, listening to him, could do not appreciate the newborn creature.

THE BACKGROUND OF MATTARELLA

Compared to those results, a head of state cannot get in the way, as Mattarella himself demonstrated at the beginning of the last legislature by accepting the return of Giuseppe Conte a little lopsided, at the last moment, after a first renunciation. The lawyer had reopened negotiations with the Northern League after Mattarella had already given the job to another: poor Carlo Cottarelli.

THE SPEED OF MELONS AND THE HAND OF MATTARELLA

Mattarella also boasted a little of the speed with which the formation of the new government was reached, less than a month after the elections, but on the other hand he somehow apologized for it, recalling the urgencies and emergencies together on the carpet: domestic, European and global.

NEWS AND SAVINGS

Among the innovations imposed, or in any case resulting from the necessarily rapid timeframe of this start of the new legislature, there is the saving of all the meetings, even pleonastic, which for many years the presidents of the Council in charge allowed themselves and imposed on us before accepting the assignment. Well done, I would say. And thanks.
