22 August 2019Critical day today at the Quirinale with the second day of consultations by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella following the government crisis and the resignation presented by Prime Minister Conte. Today, the major parties are expected at the Hill: Fdi, Pd, Fi, Lega and M5S.

Meanwhile, Zingaretti opens negotiations with the 5s, proposing a five-point program and asking for maximum discontinuity with respect to the past: no Conte bis and a whole new team. Salvini distances himself from the former allies: "We have ideas that could not be achieved together, starting with the flat tax". Evasive on probable agreements with the entire center-right area and with Berlusconi: "Now we work on the program, we await the decisions of Mattarella".

Yesterday the Head of State heard by telephone the President Emeritus, Giorgio Napolitano, he met the President of the Senate, Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellati, the President of the Chamber, Roberto Fico, the Group for the Autonomies SVP-PATT, UV of the Senate, the Group Mixed of the Senate and the Chamber and the Parliamentary Group of Free and Equal. Most of the representatives of the Groups listened to by Mattarella said they were willing to support a wide-ranging, long-lasting and solid government.
