Round of appointments inside Come on Italy to try to calm the discontent after the appointments in the executive of the Azzurri Mara Carfagna, Maria Stella Gelmini and Renato Brunetta. Just two days after the Draghi government’s oath, Silvio Berlusconi has decided on a series of internal promotions: Antonio Tajani was appointed national coordinator, Anna Maria Bernini your vice and Licia Ronzulli responsible for relations with center-right allies.
The reorganization, however, was not enough to restore peace and the groups, writes the Ansa agency, remain a heavy climate and profound dissatisfaction. And the competition is growing between the many parliamentarians, fighting each other, to have a seat on the patrol of undersecretaries ( we talk about five or six seats) which is up to Fi with whom you will go to complete the government team. And not surprisingly, just today three defections were confirmed: they are three deputies, Osvaldo Napoli, Daniela Ruffino and Guido Della Frera who have announced their farewell to the group in the House to move to the Mixed group. For some time now at odds with the party’s pro-sovereign line, the three parliamentarians have been “in dialogue” with for months Giovanni Toti, leader of Let’s change!. And, shortly after the defection, they announced their adhesion to the component that refers to the president of Liguria.
And precisely in such a tense atmosphere, Berlusconi intervened with appointments and promotions. After the “promotion” of Mariastella Gelmini as minister, the former Cavaliere indicated in his place, as acting group leader in the Chamber, Roberto Occhiuto. But, the former premier wants Occhiuto to remain the blue candidate for the presidency of the Calabria region.
The new organization chart of the party provides that the vice president Antonio Tajani, will have as its main mandate the coordination and development of Forza Italia on the territory. Among the first tasks is to manage the activity and the contribution of Forza Italia to the newborn government of Mario Draghi. As for Licia Ronzulli, the senator has the power to coordinate, on the recommendation of Berlusconi, the strategies common to the other parties of the center-right coalition for initiatives and for the program. Finally, a separate chapter is the position left vacant by Mara Carfagna to the vice presidency of the Chamber. According to the rumors of Palazzo, that chair may not remain in Forza Italia, also taking into account that the blue party also has a Quaestor in Montecitorio. The hypothesis is assigned to some centrist, the name is mentioned Maurizio Lupi, or to an exponent of the minority of Leu, that is the Italian Left, which remained in the opposition.
