Roberto Fico’s exploratory mandate fails. The words (anti early elections) of Sergio Mattarella, who summons Mario Draghi. Facts, names, scazzi and scenarios
Quirinal turn: goodbye political governments, ahead with an institutional executive: it’s time for Mario Draghi.
Here’s what happened.
The attempt of the Speaker of the House, Roberto Fico, to reattach the pieces of the majority that gave birth to government
fails. , Leu and Italia Viva than those that were foreseeable.
Matteo Renzi’s party was decisive in the failure of Fico, as rumored by the other parties of the former Conte 2 government.
Renzi’s tweet clarifies some of the Renzian requests that would have been disregarded, according to the version of Italia Viva.
Bonafede, Mes, School, Arcuri, vaccines, High Speed, Anpal, citizenship income. On this we recorded the break, not on anything else. We take note of the Niet of the colleagues of the ex-majority. We thank President Fico and we rely on the wisdom of the Head of State

And the grillino Manlio Di Stefano, Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, reveals other Renzian requests.
You sit down for two days to say “on the issues for Italy” and at the first subsequent declaration you announce the lack of agreement not on the issues but because the # M5S has not granted you the heads of #Conte #Bonafede and #Azzolina. I don’t think I need to add anything else. # Crisidigoverno @ Mov5Stelle

In the old majority it was evidently believed that Renzi’s countless broadsides on Conte, trusted men of Conte (primarily Rocco Casalino and Domenico Arcuri ), were surmountable with some programmatic or poltronaro accrocchio.
But this did not happen.
In Fico’s attempt there were evident institutional ungrammaticals: first of all the under-the-table discussion on the names of future ministers in the absence of a prime minister in charge.
What will happen now
M5s, Pd and Leu still hope for a Conte 3 executive perhaps with “managers” and “builders” picked up here and there.
But today’s exit from the Five Stars of the deputy Emilio Carelli, very close to Luigi Di Maio, towards the bank of the center-right through the “Centro-Popular Italiani” component within the Mixed group, portends crunches also in the pentastellated group in the Senate, as Carelli himself suggested.
It is difficult, if not impossible, to support the Renzians for the Count ter, given that what has emerged in recent days.
Unequivocal are the words of Mattarella who, after the failure of Fico’s mandate, dryly hoped for a new government to resolve the early elections: “Where people voted there was an increase in infections”, he said among other things.
Affirmation indirectly criticized by the Northern League player Claudio Borghi:
In case you had not seen: President Mattarella affirmed that in the countries where he voted, the infections have exploded. This is the only state where general elections have been held since the beginning of the second covid wave. pic.twitter.com/ZWTMIfge6F

However – beyond even public rumors of “voting-voting” even coming from some pentastellates – convergences towards a institutional government.
For this reason, the head of state summoned Mario Draghi, former president of the ECB, to the Quirinale for 3 February, who accepted the mandate today with reserve.
Now the center-right or at least Forza Italia and Lega come into play.
Thus pulping the very formal and not very substantial unity of the center-right given the position of the Brothers of Italy.
Meanwhile, there are significant puffs even among the Stars:
I thank President Mattarella for his commitment in wanting to give a government to the country, but we have always been clear with the Italians by openly saying that the M5S would only support an Executive led by Giuseppe Conte. On this, with coherence, we will go all the way
