February 19, 2020A Porta a Porta Matteo Renzi proposes the direct election of the Prime Minister, "Mayor of Italy", but the idea of ​​the leader of Italy alive does not convince the political world. The first to react is an ex Renziano of iron like the leader of the Democratic Party in the Senate, Andrea Marcucci: we must think about growth, it is not the time to put our hand to the Constitution, it is the reasoning.

The hardest, however, is Dario Franceschini, who resorts to Aesop's fable "The Frog and the Scorpion": a frog takes a scorpion on his back to help him wade a river, but the scorpion - in the middle of the path - stings the frog condemning both to death by drowning and justifies himself: "I am a scorpion, it is my nature". In short, that of Renzi would be a game of massacre that risks overwhelming everyone, no one excluded. The Democratic Party, also with the deputy group leader in the Chamber of Deputies Michele Bordo, replies that the proportional progress is made with the widest possible majority. In short, for the dem the concern of Renzi - that the polls give, together with his party, below four percent - is only to tear a lower barrier threshold.

Clear the stop of the 5 star Movement: "Distractions, fights and shootings do not interest us, the country cannot afford it. At this moment we have an important challenge which is that of growth and in these days we are working precisely for the good and for the future of the country, working on the further reduction of taxes, on development for businesses, on faster justice. This is what Italy needs ", says regent Vito Crimi. Then on Facebook he adds: "If anyone wants to get out of this government they have a duty to say it without hiding behind the threat of individual distrust of a minister."

Matteo Salvini is also opposed to the proposal: "Renzi can vote for our proposal for direct election of the head of state," says the leader of the League, but he would support Renzi in the event that the way for a government of purpose that brings the country to the vote was opened .

For Giorgia Meloni, Renzi is not very credible. "The presidential reform or the introduction of the premierate, historical battles of the right, are too serious themes to be used as sinister instruments of political and palace maneuvers as Renzi is doing with his very little credible appeal", states in a note the president of Fratelli d'Italia.

Who would seem more willing to follow Renzi is Silvio Berlusconi: the group leader of Forza Italia in the House, Maria Stella Gelmini, says that his party is well prepared to take the path of the strong premier, provided that the government is first dropped.
