Mattarella bis, on Thursday the oath. Read: "Now change the electoral law"
After the confirmation of the Head of State at Colle, the Draghi government returns to work and the parties lick their wounds. The Pd secretary, meanwhile, aims to modify the Rosatellum
The oath of Sergio Mattarella, re-elected to the presidency of the Republic at the end of six hectic days, is expected for Thursday afternoon.
Already on Monday, however, the government will return to work "normally", with an agenda of objectives and deadlines already set. The Council of Ministers will meet at least twice to put hand to the new rules to contain and manage the Covid emergency and, a little further on, measures are announced to try to contain the expensive bills.
Looking at the longer term, one issue that the forces that make up the majority will have to address is that of the electoral law. Pd secretary Enrico Letta put him at the top of the list of priorities between now and 2023, when the legislature expires and we will return to the polls, defining it a knot that must certainly be addressed "to allow citizens to choose the elected ones. And eliminate it. the worst electoral law that has ever been, the Rosatellum ".
But the first stop has already arrived, from Forza Italia, which with Antonio Tajani confirmed its loyalty to the majority.
But if the vote for the Colle and the confirmation of Mattarella have given Mario Draghi the possibility of continuing to work, what happened between Monday and Saturday in the Chamber left heavy aftermath in the parties.
The center-right alliance has in fact "pulverized" . The definition is by Giorgia Meloni, who, deeply disappointed by the support of Lega and Forza Italia to Mattarella's encore, consumed on the right between burnt names and negotiations on several tables, now claims the role of kingmaker to re-establish the same center-right, removing it from the secretary of the Lega Matteo Salvini.
And it is also war within the 5 Star Movement , grappling with the disagreements between Giuseppe Conte and Luigi Di Maio, with the latter harshly criticizing the former premier for the strategy adopted during the negotiations for the name to bring in classroom for the Colle, also suspecting a sort of double game with the old ally Salvini to bet on Elisabetta Belloni. Result: both ask for an internal "clarification" that smacks of a definitive showdown for the five-star leadership.
In all this, Enrico Letta appears to be the most peaceful, whom Dario Franceschini has defined "the winner", the winner of the match for the Quirinale, and who now claims as a victory having silently bet on the encore Mattarella since the beginning of the negotiations.
