Mattarella resigns with the premiership. Meloni focuses on Nordio al Colle

Giorgia Meloni has already stated several times that she will not end up like Matteo Renzi and that even in the event of defeat she will not leave Palazzo Chigi

The Quirinale remains in strict silence and carefully observes what is happening in Parliament on the constitutional reform which introduces the direct election of the Prime Minister. AND Sergio Mattarellafaithful guardian of the Constitution and very rigorous in respecting his role, will not make any interventions and will let the Chambers express their opinions freely.

But what would happen with the entry into force of the premiership? Sources at the highest levels of the Democratic Party, area Margherita pizza and therefore historically very close to the Head of State, they assure Affaritaliani.it that if there was definitive approval for the popular election of the head of government, Mattarella would resign instantly, leaving the role of President of the Republic without any possibility of changing his mind.

In the centre-right everyone denies that the resignation of the Head of State is necessary or requested, indeed they publicly confirm their esteem for Mattarella, as Matteo Salvini also did after Claudio Borghi’s attack on European sovereignty. But the die has been cast.

Times? Late summer next year. Considering the constitutional timing of the reform, the confirmatory popular referendum will almost certainly be held in September 2025. Giorgia Meloni he has already stated several times that he will not end up like Matteo Renzi and that even in the event of defeat he will not leave Palazzo Chigi.

But if the yes to the reform were to prevail, with the Brothers of Italy mobilized to counter the no committees that are already preparing Pd and M5S and the help of the Mediaset networks, Mattarella’s resignation would be certain.

The reasons? Not the stop to the nomination of senators for life but the gap that would exist between the Prime Minister elected by the citizens and that of the Republic elected by Parliament and therefore, implicitly, with a inferior legitimacy. Especially with this parliament with a centre-right majority that voted for the premiership.

And who would go to the Quirinale in Mattarella’s place? The most sensible hypothesis would be the second office of the State, but Ignazio La Russa, president of the Senate, is still a former right-right MSI and therefore too divided and would risk tearing the country apart. And so Meloni’s card would be that of the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordioformer magistrate, moderate, from the Brothers of Italy area but without a MSI past.
