Quirinale, very confidential contacts between the leaders of the majority
Nothing happens by chance. And the newspaper of the City of London, the noble and all too acclaimed Financial Times, does not take a position at random. “Italy at risk of political instability if Mario Draghi becomes President of the Republic”, wrote the British financial daily. An unequivocal signal, explain sources of the majority, that the so-called markets – now true king maker of politics that often matter more than national parliaments – they want SuperMario to stay a Palazzo Chigi at least until the end of the legislature. And maybe even beyond, as several centrist and moderate exponents have been affirming for weeks, including Silvio Berlusconi.
Also to Brussels, seat of the European institutions – they always explain in Palaces Romans – advocate continuity, avoiding electoral shocks and the return of instability that could derive from an uncertain outcome of the vote or a victory of the forces populist And sovereigns. On the other hand, the pandemic is far from behind us, in fact it is scary once again throughout Europe. and then there are the funds of the Pnrr to be managed and the plans to be approved in concert with the EU. In short, continuity is better than alone Dragons is able to guarantee. From Palazzo Chigi, of course, no official comments, but even if the Prime Minister would not have minded moving to the Quirinale, from the parts of the Center-Left, of Italia Viva and also of Forza Italia, many signals have arrived that all go in the same direction: dear Dragons, stay at Palazzo Chigi.
And for the Colle? The most likely hypothesis is that in the first three votes there will be a clash between sides, on the one hand, perhaps, Berlusconi, and on the other a flag candidate, probably Paolo Gentiloni. But behind the scenes, in the highly confidential contacts between leaders that even the group leaders of the majority parties do not know, they are trying to identify a figure who can suit the whole majority. The prices of Pierferdinando Casini And Paola Severino, those of Marta Cartabia And Giuliano Amato. All but not Draghi, because as the Bible of today wrote “Italy would risk political instability”.
