Tomorrow, the President of the Republic will in all probability appoint the secretary of the Democratic Party to form the new government. Work, taxation and the fight against bureaucracy will be the starting points of the program of the new government which will naturally make the launch of the new electoral law one of its strengths together with the constitutional reforms which however require four parliamentary passages.
Delrio will be the new undersecretary to the presidency of the Council.
The ministerial team will be streamlined and will range from 12 to 16 ministers. Lucrezia Reichlin is in pole position for the economy but in the last few hours the idea of entrusting the ministry to a politician has returned to the fore: if not Romano Prodi, who remains a dream for the Democratic Party, the chances of Giampaolo Galli, ex Bankitalia and now Pd deputy, but also of Bruno Tabacci, leader of the Democratic Center. Bonino will remain at Foreign Affairs, Giannini of Civic Choice will be the new minister of Education and University, Lorenzin will remain at Health and Lupi at Infrastructure. But there will be surprises in the distribution of tasks.
Silvio Berlusconi has promised a "responsible opposition" to the Renzi government, to whom he sent "heartfelt best wishes" during his icy meeting at the Quirinale. Sel has categorically excluded support for Renzi, but there is Maretta within Vendola's party. Stomach ache also in the left of the Democratic Party.
Alfano asked for time to study precisely the objectives of the new government which he will not support if it moves to the left: it also remains to be seen whether he will be satisfied with being deputy prime minister or whether he will keep the interior ministry. Today a meeting is likely between the secretary of the NCD and the premier in pectore who warns: "I won't let myself be harnessed" by the many resistances that always try to hinder radical changes.
