The new point of the situation will be made on Wednesday after the resignation presented yesterday by Prime Minister Mario Draghi and the decision of the President of the Republic to reject them. In five days, therefore, Draghi will present himself to the Chambers to have confidence, while on the 18th and 19th an important mission awaits him, that of Algeria, where he will go to address the issue of gas supplies as an alternative to the supply of Moscow.
According to the indications of the Quirinale, Parliament will vote on a resolution with the aim of verifying whether the head of government still has a majority.
And here the political forces are divided: on the one hand who will be committed to keeping Draghi at Palazzo Chigi, like Enrico Letta's Pd, on the other hand who will continue to support, as in the past few hours, the need to return to the polls (among these Giorgia Meloni, "the legislature is over", underlined yesterday).
The political earthquake announced on Wednesday evening became clear when the vote on the question of trust for aid in the Senate opened. The M5s had already said that it would not vote, and the attempted mediation by the Minister for Relations with Parliament, Federico D'Incà, who proposed to the majority group leaders not to place the trust, proved useless. Everything useless. At the call of the senators, the pentastellati leave. 172 yes, but there are none of 61 exponents of the Movement. Draghi goes up to the Quirinale and meets Mattarella, gives his resignation and sees them rejected. Now we will talk about it again on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, international reactions include that of Dmitry Medvedev, vice president of the Russian Security Council, who ironically writes a question mark on Telegram combined with photos of Boris Johnson and Mario Draghi, as if to say "who will be next?".
