(Finance) – Maintain the status quo with a reconfirmation at the Quirinale by Sergio Mattarella. It seems that the signal arrived from the sixth vote for the election of the President of the Republic, the second today, is not just yet another trick implemented by the great voters to “count themselves”. At the end of the day, after the failure of the Elisabetta Casellati option sponsored by the right, they were 336 votes for Mattarella, 445 abstentions, 106 blank ballots, 41 votes for Di Matteo, 9 for Casini 9, 8 Manconi, 5 votes collected by Draghi and Cartabia, Belloni 4, Amato 3 , Casellati 2.
“Everyone is invited to take note of the push that for two days and in a transversal way in Parliament has been in favor of the reconfirmation of President Mattarella” is the message launched by the Democratic Party whose secretariat has never made a secret of its support for a reconfirmation of the outgoing president. “Sergio Mattarella is a gentleman, we voted for him seven years ago and I would vote for him again tomorrow, – commented the leader of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi – but asked not to be pulled by the jacket. It is clear that with each stall day the possibility of going to him becomes more likely. The problem is that we don’t know how he would respond. “” Mattarella at the Quirinale, it is now clear. Stop wasting time with unnecessary back and forth. The country we are representing in this important vote – writes the note deputy of the Mixed group, Alessandra Ermellino – has already expressed a broad consensus for his return to the Presidency of the Republic. To the few excluded people left, I make an appeal: let’s converge on the Mattarella bis to give continuity to a path of respect and institutional dignity. After all, a road that cannot be followed by any of the personalities advanced up to now, names driven by political strategy and not by interest in the country “.
While, between vetoes and personalities burned by tests of strength without broad consensus, the battle continues between the leaders of the various camps to be the “king makers”, the hypothesis of a “gender” agreement appears. “After the failure of the wall against wall wanted by the center right, discussions and discussions on some possible solutions are finally underway. Among these also female candidates of absolute value. Nazarene – it takes seriousness, the worst thing is to continue with the method of these days which consists in burning with sudden leaps forward every possibility of agreement. For us it remains essential to preserve the unity of the government majority “.” Our President Giuseppe Conte said this from the beginning of the negotiations: it is time to elect a woman as President of the Republic – underlines in a note the Five Stars movement -. It can be a historic step, an extraordinary innovation of our political system. Now the idea of the 5 Star Movement has also convinced the other political forces. When we talked about women we never thought of a generic ‘label’, but of profiles of great quality, of extraordinary experience, of marked authority and above all able to represent, without distinction, all the citizens of the country. Some of the names identified by the M5S were immediately brought to the negotiating tables, demonstrating that for us the reference to the female profile is not rhetorical, but concrete and convinced. In the next few hours we will work to make this idea have a name and a face. A name and a female face for the first time in the history of our Republic. In short, it is time. It is time for Italy to elect a woman President “.” Another coffee and at work, the first woman President of the Republic would be an extraordinary innovation “, comments the leder of the Lega Matteo Salvini.
But even if there was theagreement on the election of a woman to the Quirinale, it is difficult to agree on the names currently at stake. Elisabetta Bellloni – currently, according to what is learned, the candidate of Fdi, Lega and M5s – raises a lot of institutional resistance, especially from Renzi, for her current position at the head of the Services. Marta Cartabia the M5s doesn’t like it and makes people discuss its proximity to Communion and Liberation.
The seventh ballot for the election of the President of the Republic it is scheduled for tomorrow at 9.30.
