(Finance) – At the end of a nerve-wracking week between crossed vetoes and strategies, in a growing tensions which risked putting a strain on the estate of the executive, the parties eventually surrender to the impossibility of identifying a super partes name and, therefore, a agreement. There white smoke arrives at the eighth round, at 20.42 today, Saturday 29 January 2022, with a record of votes, 759, for the bis of Mattarella who, therefore, will remain in office for others 7 years.
The President of the Republic, whose mandate was due to expire on February 3rd. despite having repeatedly closed the encore, in the end, he did not know how to escape in front of the call of Parliament. An election marked by many (too many) Twists and turns in the face: in the late evening of yesterday, in fact, the circle seemed to have closed with Salvini and Conte who in front of the microphones had anticipated that they were working on the candidacy of a very high profile woman. The identikit led straight to the Capo del Dis, Elisabetta Belloni, on whose name, however, one would be consumed in the night real war.
This morning, therefore, seventh vote and all to be redone with the name of Pierferdinando Casini back in the limelight, but only for a few hours: in the light of a confused situation to say the least, it is he himself, in fact, shortly after self-extracting.
At that point, comes the forced move of Salvini which officially asks a Mattarella to stay. It’s up to the group leaders, around 3 pm, to go to the Quirinale to ask the Head of State to do an encore. “He did not hide that he would have other plans” but then thanked for the esteem and added that if there is “The need to lend a hand is there”. To anticipate the go-ahead of the head of state for his re-election is Julia Unterberger, group leader of the Autonomies in the Senate.
Everything solved? Obviously not. Maretta in the center right with Giorgia Meloni who – announcing that Fdi will not vote for Mattarella – enters gambatesa: “the center-right must be refounded”, he says bluntly.
Translated: the Quirinale match archived, the political one immediately began in view of next year’s elections: the election campaign has officially begun.
