“He has no chance”. Matteo Renzi liquidates the hypothesis Andrea Riccardi at the Quirinale, launched after the summit this morning by Pd, M5S and LeU, and sponsors Pier Ferdinando Casini.

"Casini certainly did it well when he made the President of the Chamber. It turns out in the newspapers that he is one of the personalities that people think about," says the leader of Italia Viva.

What then on the historian, founder of the Community of Sant'Egidio and minister for international cooperation and integration in the Monti government, he says: "Riccardi is an extraordinary person, I love him very much and the minister did very well, but I don't think has no chance of being elected. The M5S wants him as a flag candidate, to be in the newspapers. But this is not Sanremo, you don't win the jury prize ”.

THE CENTER LEFT - “Finally we can compare the names. The identikit is the one indicated for weeks now: non-partisan, authoritative profile. Meetings that should lead to a table between all political forces. We think about Andrea Riccardi as the profile of the ideal president ”, sources from the Nazarene said in the morning after the meeting between Enrico Letta, Giuseppe Conte and Roberto Speranza.

"Riccardi is a candidacy that certainly responds to those characteristics I am describing, but we have not talked about candidates", the words of Giuseppe Conte.

For LeU the group leaders Fornaro and De Petris spoke: “Riccardi is not a flag name, but the right profile as a candidate for the presidency of the Republic”.
