One year after the conclusion of the seventh year, he said: my last year in office. Yesterday he said: There are eight months left and then I will rest. The president of the Republic Sergio Mattarella he marks the countdown as if to ward off the rumors about his possible re-appointment at the Colle, while for some time the Quirinale has been sending his underlined speeches, where he explains the reasons that advise against the renewal of a head of state.
The truth, known to the electors, that the highest institution of the Republic cannot be re-nominated, that is, it cannot be exposed to the tactical game of voting: at most it can be re-elected at the first ballot, by the unanimous will of the political forces. It was so for Giorgio Napolitano, after the odyssey of the one hundred and one snipers who shot the ball Marini e Prodi. And it would have been the same for Ciampi, if the then tenant of the Colle had not been adamant in the face of the hypothesis that was reserved to him.
The big race is getting underway, although the Minister of Inc said yesterday that it would be right to start talking about it in November. In fact, it has been discussed since last year, if it is true that Gypsies – when he was secretary of the Democratic Party – he had set up the registration office for the Colle candidacy at the Nazarene. This is how he defined it, because – as he confided in those days – despite a government on the brink of a crisis and a country overwhelmed by the pandemic, I have a queue of people asking me to talk only about Quirinale. I wonder if it’s also happening to Read, who promised to tackle the issue with disenchantment. Of course, since then the political equilibrium has changed, and at the same time the probabilities of the candidates of having a chance.
The list of receivables of the Pd so long as to take the whole alphabet: from A to W. And while in the party there are those who take into account the interviews in which Prodi repeats that he is not a candidate, they give nicknames to potential presidents: for example, when referring to Gentiloni there is talk of the origin, because he is abroad but could return to Italy. On the other hand the names are known, for once the cards are all face up. In fact, with the irony of someone coming from an ancient school, Franceschini e Casini they agreed that it is important to participate. Both have nothing to hide, to the point that the former Speaker of the House is amused when they portray him as a gentleman walking into a casino, approaching the roulette table with a single chip and betting it on zero. difficult for it to come out but if it does …
Casini’s chip is bringing it to him as a dowry Renzi, who speaks with Salvini, which in turn talks to the Democratic Party but does not speak to anyone in the League: I deal with the Quirinale. Giorgetti he had mentioned Mattarella’s name before Draghi replaced Conte. Not even he was a magician. And his secretary – stuck in the government – as if to want to free himself, says he is ready to vote for the premier if he thinks he can propose himself. Now, apart from the fact that for the Colle it is not proposed but is voted, there is a knot to be solved: we have never seen a Parliament willing to vote for a head of state who calls elections in his first act. The point that Draghi (together with Mattarella) the only one in power to have the numbers for the Quirinale, and that in the meantime Di Maio – as an authoritative source tells us – he is working to build another government.

In the current one, contrary to what he claims D’Inc, there is a lot of talk about the presidency of the Republic. From the first meeting, when a minister said to his colleague in the next chair: Here is who can replace Mattarella. No, not him. She. And he looked over there Cartabia. But still early to dictate sentences. Suffice it to say that a month ago some quirinabili had rejoiced by reading a drop in the polls for Draghi: since last week, observing the rebound in the premier’s consensus, the mood has returned to bad. Besides, the Chambers resemble Tito’s Yugoslavia, and for the first time in history there is no king maker who can direct the negotiation. Salvini has the numbers. Renzi has a strategy. The Democratic Party has too many candidates. The Movement too many currents. Forza Italia says Berlusconi and thinks of Casellati …

From now to February, however, all the quirinabili will not stop believing in it. Together with their fans. A couple of weeks ago, in the middle of a discussion on the subject, the grillino Buffagni let him slip away with some deputies, maybe it was Conte. He said it with such enthusiasm that it was not clear whether it was really a hope or a As circumstances allow. The time will come to decide but anxiety is already rising in the Palace, also because – sighs a major member of the League – if we fail to elect the head of state between the first and fourth ballots, we risk being blocked for months. With the Italians out of the Chamber ready with pitchforks.
