Quirinale, the center-right candid Berlusconi but in the meantime deals with Draghi
Silvio Berlusconi are candidates, but in the meantime his loyalists are also preparing the ground for the failure of a divisive candidacy, as recognized by the ranks of the League itself and even by Gianni Letta, a loyalist of the Cavaliere. A loyalist who on the day when the center-right officially showed solidarity on the name of Berlusconi went for the umpteenth time to speak with Mario Draghi at Palazzo Chigi.
According to La Stampa, the visit of Letta a Palazzo Chigi infuriated Berlusconi: “The leader of Forza Italia is surrounded by staff. The news leaves everyone amazed.” What does it mean that he went to Palazzo Chigi this morning? Before the summit? “asks Berlusconi. The reconstruction is confirmed by sources close to him: the founder of Mediaset, they assure, knew nothing about it. Nor, they add, was he sent to visit Draghi as an emissary of the president of Forza Italia, as some might imagine. But above all: he would have kept silent about the meeting for the entire duration of the summit with the leaders of the Lega and Fratelli d’Italia, Matteo Salvini and Giorgia Meloni. It is an important clarification, which gives the idea of how the Quirinale match is breaking all certainty and of how much suspicions, even among friends or allies, have become the common matrix of the different interpretations of the facts “, writes La Stampa.
Berlusconi’s candidacy reinforces the hypothesis of emergency: Draghi
The real name, according to Repubblica, would be Mario Draghi. “We have never seen a party ask its candidate for the presidency of the Republic to have the numbers necessary for the election”, writes the daily directed by Maurizio Molinari. “In fact, the decision on the numbers will be taken on Friday 21st. That is the trial. If Berlusconi does not withdraw, then he counts on the fourth vote, when 505 votes are needed. If he does not succeed, here is the real card: Mario Draghi , to the fifth vote. How compact is the center-right in supporting its flag candidate? The deputy of Coraggio Italia, Osvaldo Napoli, for example, immediately disregarded his support for Berlusconi. A sign that the pro Silvio front is much less united than what it wants to make believe “, concludes Repubblica.
Annalisa Cuzzocrea in La Stampa also maintains that the hypotheses on the table are now substantially two: Draghi or one Mattarella bis. “Paradoxically, the firm framework benefits the head of the government because – even more so if Berlusconi decides to go to the count in the first three calls – afterwards only an emergency solution would be possible. And the emergency man has a name and surname which by now the parties know well “, writes La Stampa.
Among other things, the Draghi hypothesis would also unite opposing theorists. Which in this case are part of the same family. That means Enrico Letta and Gianni Letta, nephew and uncle who would be working together to bring Draghi to the Quirinale. Il Fatto Quotidiano writes it. “On the 27th we will have the president, thanks to the agreement with Gianni Letta,” said Renzi. The option suits him, it allows him to play a role. Read jr. for his part yesterday he commented on Berlusconi’s candidacy as a “threat” that wastes time, a “teaser” and not the beginning of the film. A way of saying that he doesn’t consider it serious. Count on your uncle’s work as well. Today he will talk about it in the management. The other, meanwhile, will continue to weave the web and perhaps will try to make Enrico swallow the government of leaders that he excludes, but which could be an advantage for Salvini “, concludes the Fact.
