The roadmap for the formation of the new Italian Government
The formation of the Executive could take between four and six weeks, according to the precedents. These are the steps to follow:
– Proclamation of parliamentarians: After the final count, which may take a few days, the elected representatives for the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate are officially proclaimed with the new numbers, after the reduction of the seats: from 945 to 600 (400 deputies and 200 senators).
– First session of the Chambers: The new chambers must take office on October 13 and then, after the formation of the different parliamentary groups, with the first official step of the new legislature, it will be the election of the new presidents of the Chamber and the Senate.
– Consultations of the Head of State: the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, begins consultations to decide who to entrust with the mandate of forming the new Government. Normally, consultations start a month after the elections but, given the very tight deadlines, Mattarella could start his talks in mid-October.
– Order to the President of the Government: Although on other occasions this assignment may come after several rounds of consultations between the political parties, it is expected that this time, given the overwhelming victory of the right-wing coalition, there will be no problems for Mattarella to find a person whom he will commission to form a government. .
– Appointment of Prime Minister: immediately afterwards, that same day or the following day, the head of state appoints a new prime minister and a new executive.
– Government oath: the next day, or even a few hours later, the President of the Government and the ministers are sworn in at the Quirinal Palace before the President of the Republic.
– Investiture vote: One or two days later, after the first meeting of the Executive, the prime minister presents his programmatic speech before the Chambers to request the investiture vote. (Eph)
