Consultations

04.02.2021

Today seems to me to have been a very positive day in view of the formation of the new government.

Draghi began the round of consultations, with practically all the small parties that gave their support to the former ECB President, support also coming from the Democratic Party, which, and this is my little personal thought, since Zingaretti is the Secretary, is demonstrating a seriousness that I have not felt in the left for a long time, this makes me really happy. But it's just a personal thought.

I welcome the fact that we are talking about the creation of a political government rather than a technical one. Important and dutiful, therefore, I now find mention the speech of the outgoing President Giuseppe Conte, an extremely serious person, from whom words of union and strong responsibility and collaboration between M5S, PD and Leu came out. I say so sincerely that these statements were exactly what we need. Echoing the words of the Secretary of the PD, Zingaretti, who clearly placed Giuseppe Conte as a possible leader of a progressive coalition, I find myself being really happy by the seriousness shown by the members of Leu, PD and M5S.

Thanks to the words of President Conte, I believe that we can make progress within the M5S with regard to the disagreements that have been created about support for the Draghi government. I hope that this support will also come from them.

On the centre-right front, I welcome the support that Forza Italia has given Draghi, with Berlusconi's direct descent into the field. I really believe that this is really the right choice.

But at the same time I hope that it is the only right-wing support that the future government can receive, because I do not believe that it suits the Lega to any government participation. Although, as I have already said, I would be ensored to see the Lega with a new Secretary. Yesterday I made the name of Zaia, today I make that of Giorgetti.

There is still a long way to go, but the route does not seem so impervious.
