With the election of the presidents of the chambers, the nineteenth legislature officially began and the path leading to the formation of the new government began.
The center-right did it quickly : La Russa was elected on the first shot, Fontana on the fourth, the first in which an absolute majority is enough in the Chamber of Deputies and a two-thirds majority is not necessary.
But yesterday at Palazzo Madama a break was revealed between Silvio Berlusconi and Giorgia Meloni . The Forza Italia senators did not participate in the vote (due to Giorgia Meloni's veto of a ministry for Ronzulli) and the help of the opposition was needed to elect Ignazio La Russa (FdI). At least 17 (but they could have been even more, considering that some votes from the center-right went to Calderoli) senators between Terzo Polo, Pd and Movimento 5 Stelle voted La Russa, saving Giorgia Meloni from the first failure at the last minute and demonstrating that basically , if Berlusconi reaches the final break, another majority is possible.
The break was partially recomposed today in Montecitorio, where the forced deputies rejoined the ranks and voted for the Northern League player Lorenzo Fontana on the highest seat of the Chamber.
The center-right has chosen two very identifying figures , provoking the outcry of all the oppositions, including the more moderate one of the Third Pole, which for the presidency of the Chambers asked - as usual - more institutional and super partes figures.
THE "INCRIMINATED" NOTES
To trigger some friction between the Cav. and Meloni were the photos that immortalize in the classroom where he defined her as "opinionated, arrogant, arrogant and offensive". The reporters asked the Prime Minister in pectore to account for these adjectives at the exit of the Chamber: " - the piqued answer - ".
