On the third and last day of the consultations by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella for the formation of a new government, this afternoon the center-right first with Lega-Fi-Fdi and then M5s will go up to the Quirinale.

The leader of IV, Matteo Renzi yesterday opened to an exploratory mandate, but from a different personality from Giuseppe Conte.

While the secretary of the Democratic Party Nicola Zingaretti reaffirmed support for the outgoing premier.

In the morning Conte participates in the inauguration of the judicial year of the Cassation, together with President Mattarella and the presidents of the Chambers.



The state of the crisis


After two days of consultations, therefore, neither a majority nor a name has yet materialized and therefore the conversation between President Mattarella and the delegation of the first parliamentary force of this legislature, namely the Five Stars, is fundamental.

This is the troubled balance sheet of the Quirinale where, however, the reading of Renzi's words - the only ones that are valid are those spoken in the rooms of the Quirinale - are put under the lens providing slightly less drastic readings than those summarized by the press.

Too early, therefore, to take stock of a situation that remains very complicated and that brings back the specter of the dissolution of the Chambers. 



Renzi does not mention the name of Conte, at least not before a clarification of the majority forces on the role of Italia Viva in the coalition, the president will have to understand the position of the Movement on Renzi.

If there were, on the part of M5s, a "never with Italia Viva" it would be clear that there is neither a name nor a majority and this phase would be closed with implications to be verified.

If there was an opening towards the Renzians, then the president could foresee a second temporal opening, with an exploratory assignment for which - according to parliamentary rumors - the President of the Chamber Roberto Fico would be in pole.



The Quirinale is very clear that first we still need to find a majority and only with today's consultation with the Movement will we have this certainty.

The opening of the Five Stars to Renzi is therefore decisive, since obviously the Colle does not consider the numbers found by Conte at the time of his resignation sufficient, that is, without the Renzian parliamentarians.

Lacking the name of the premier, after the freezing of Italia Viva su Conte, an exploratory can be attempted.

And in this case the head of state would give some time because there is no risk of sending the country to vote for not having the situation decanted.  



It is a game of chess because the Democratic Party, while not hiding the irritation towards the senator of Rignano, keeps the tone low, does not fall into provocations and even the 5-star Movement could avoid vetoing Italy alive, even to try to bring the Renzians to their side.

At the moment, however, the numbers for a 'Conte ter' are not there.

The Democratic Party and the 5-Star Movement should guarantee a majority pact to discuss the program and composition of the executive with Renzi, but the road is getting narrower. 



Salvini: "If there is no government in democracy, there is a vote"


"Today we will tell the President of the Republic that Italy is in a hurry and hungry for work, health and school".

Thus the leader of the League, Matteo Salvini guest of'Agorà 'on Rai3.

"If there is a government that governs, fine: we are ready to carry out our proposals of real life, not of philosophy. If there is no government, as there is not, in democracy we give the floor to citizens, "he added.

"We have lost a month, and it will end up that they will all get back together, let's bet? So why did they all mess up? - continues Salvini - My position is always the same. On my desk there are no names of the senators to try to find out. night at the motorway restaurant but the bills to lower the VAT and clear the tax bills. If there is a center-right government, an alternative to M5s and Pd, what a government, fine. Otherwise the word goes to the Italians. weeks the center-right proved to be serious and compact, despite the difference in cultures and identities ".



Meloni: "Center-right united on elections option"


"Every day I read that the center-right is divided and that it has been devastated by turncoat senators: it didn't happen. Conte had to resign. It seems to me that the center-right in the facts is united and that the option on which we all agree is to vote: I don't think it will change ".

The leader of FdI Giorgia Meloni said this to Radio Anch'io on Rai Radio1
