Quirinale, the premier fears the repercussions of a possible and sensational rejection by secret ballot
Indiscretion ‘bomb’ straight from the heart of the Palaces Romans. So far the premier Mario Draghi he never made it clear whether or not he intended to move from Palazzo Chigi al Quirinale, not an official word, nothing at all. Yet there are less than two months to January 18, the day when the votes of the great electors (deputies, senators and regional delegates) will begin in Parliament to elect the new President of the Republic. Draghi’s intention or not to become Head of State is fundamental to understand what the parties will do and also to understand what the fate of the legislature will be.
According to Affaritaliani.it he learned from political sources at the highest levels, the head of government would be in favor of his election a President of the Republic early next year, but strongly fears the snipers who could unexpectedly come out in the secret of the urn. It is obvious that if Draghi takes the field for the Quirinale, given its huge majority, it is obvious and natural that it should pass already at the first vote, when a qualified majority (two thirds) of the big voters is required.
And it is equally clear that a resounding rejection of the Chamber would be a very severe blow to the image that could preclude SuperMario from new positions, such as the presidency of the European Commission or the World Bank. The fear of the premier and his entourage is that a large cross-sectional group of parliamentarians, for fear of early elections and the loss of a year’s salary of 15 thousand euros a month, decides to boycott Draghi despite the indication of the leaders of the various parties of the majority (which would obviously be for yes). Only the League, sources from the Northern League assure, would be granitic on the name of the premier.
But both in the 5 Stars and in Forza Italia, in the Pd and in the Renziani of Italia Viva, not to mention the many former grillini and the crowded Mixed Group, there could be many who do not write ‘Mario Draghi’ on the card before inserting it in the urn under the presidency of Montecitorio. On the other hand, Draghi knows perfectly well what happened last time to Romano Prodi with the 101 franc shooters who shot the former prime minister and founder of the Olive tree. This is why the premier does not come out of the closet, first he wants to understand if these fears are really well founded.
