Berlusconi at the Quirinale after Mattarella? More than a suggestion according to Matteo Salvini, who spoke of the upcoming election in Atreju: "He is a real candidate", says the Northern League leader, underlining that "we of the center-right have many defects but if we say one thing we do it".

"The center-right - continues Salvini - must have the determination to have the burden and the honor of electing the President of the Republic, who must not have a Democratic Party card. This is the Christmas gift we give to Italians".

“I hope - he added - that the President of the Republic can be chosen with the participation of all, starting from the unity of the center-right. I will strive to involve everyone ".

And if for Enrico Letta he sees the candidacy of the Cav al Colle "very uphill", Antonio Tajani believes in it.

"When we tell him, he responds with a smile," reveals the coordinator of Forza Italia. The center-right starts with about 440 votes, if everyone gave their support to the Cav, more or less 65 would be missing for the election on the fourth ballot.

"The votes can be found", observes Tajani, "if Berlusconi accepts the candidacy, I am convinced that the numbers are there and I have no doubts about the loyalty of the center-right in all its souls".
