If there is one who can celebrate what happened yesterday in the Senate it is Pier Ferdinando Casini. Because yesterday the Casini operation for the Quirinale started “officially”. The center-right is already working on an axis with Italia Viva and the centrists. Pd and 5 Stars of this step will not touch the ball.
The Zan bill was only the dress rehearsal because the issue of numbers will recur on a par when, after the first three votes, Silvio Berlusconi will understand that he does not have the numbers to make his dream come true. At that point, if the parties all united will not be able to get Mario Draghi elected in the first round, the center-right who yesterday, unlike the center-left, proved to be compact could easily find an agreement with Italia Viva and the mixed group to take the Quirinal.
Meanwhile, a meeting of the Senate PD group will be held next Wednesday to take stock of the Zan bill. There are those who want an internal clarification, but it is the whole red-yellow front, which had aimed to repel the assault on the “trap” on the Zan Bill, which at this point will have to question the next battles, especially the “mother of all the battles ”, that of the Quirinale.
Giuseppe Conte and Enrico Letta also talked about it in the recent business lunch which, however, did not serve much. Conte “reigns but does not govern” in the 5 Star Movement, he does not control the parliamentarians, he does not bring half a vote more in the electoral campaign and in the M5s hardly anyone listens to him while Enrico Letta, although fresh from the success of the administrative elections, still does not have a worthy strategy of this name to structure the wide field of the center-left with Calenda, Renzi and grillini who prefer to go in no particular order rather than end up making the bushes of the Democratic Party.
And they will do so at least until the election of the next head of state. Then when the elections approach we will see. Meanwhile, both Letta and Conte must collect the “slap” of the Senate on the Zan bill. The worry (or rather the terror) is that with yesterday’s move the “wide field” that the two are painstakingly trying to build will go to be blessed.
And let Matteo Renzi screw both of them once again: the other time by bringing Draghi to Palazzo Chigi (neither the PD nor the 5 Stars wanted him) and this time by bringing Pier Ferdinando Casini to the Quirinale (who in recent years was one of the men closer and more listened to by the leader of Rignano). Casini, coincidentally, for the whole day yesterday was careful not to say a word about what happened in the Senate.
