SILVIO BERLUSCONI Lapresse
Quirinale, for Berlusconi the problems could exist in Forza Italia and not in the Lega and Fratelli d’Italia. Inside
Sniper Nightmare. In the abacus of the Quirinale, that Silvio Berlusconi he consults practically every day, the problem is mainly linked to the possible, probable defections in his party. On paper, considering the regional delegates, the Center-right starts with 440-445 votes and, therefore, it takes about 60 votes to reach 505, the quorum necessary to be elected to the presidency of the Republic from the fourth ballot. In Parliament they assume that the patrol of Brothers of Italy it will be compact and without defections, despite some tension in the last few weeks.
“Self Giorgia (Melons, ed) tells us to vote Berlusconi we all do it without problems “, confides a senator from FdI. The same goes for the Lega di Matteo Salvini, which, however, has almost 200 parliamentarians and is therefore more difficult to control. However, a big player from the Northern League assures that “at the most, 4-5 votes could be minus”. The problem lies entirely in Come on Italy. As he wrote a few days ago Affaritaliani.it, many Italian deputies and senators fear that with the former Cavaliere al Quirinale the party will end up completely, and more than today, in the hands of the so-called Berlusconian magic circle. Which would mean political marginalization and almost certainly remain out of the next electoral lists.
Berlusconi therefore needs, if he really wants to get on Colle higher than Rome, by about 100-110 votes that come from groups not of Center-right. First of all there are the 40s renziani with whom the negotiation has been in progress for some time and is being carried out in particular by Gianni Letta. The same uncle of Enrico Letta together with Marcello Dell’Utri are engaged in the work of convincing the many parliamentarians who nestle in the Mixed Group and in that of autonomies. Then there are the continuous reassurances of the president of Forza Italia on the desire to reach the end of the legislature in 2023. One way – explain blue sources – to try to build an axis in particular with the governors of the 5 Star Movement, first of all the Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio (which certainly controls more pentastellated deputies and senators than Giuseppe Conte).
Obviously the exit in favor of the citizenship income, which surprised many in Center-right, served to open a breach in the Grillino world and then deal behind the scenes especially with the wing headed by the head of the Farnesina. Sources of Fi close to the former prime minister then explain that in the Democratic Party “you could get 15 or 20 votes“both among those who fear early elections, despite the words of Letta (Enrico) who does not want the polls, and among the Dems who remained close to Matteo Renzi (not only Andrea Marcucci). Summing up, the operation Berlusconi at the Quirinale, obviously on the fourth ballot and obviously if Mario Draghi does not apply, he appears uphill but not impossible. At least that’s what the Arcore abacus says.
