The stalemate of the Italian political situation continues, which is becoming increasingly tangled and similar to a dead end which, in the end, only leads to new elections. Meanwhile, rags are flying inside the Democratic Party, crumbling internally by this long wait and by the frustration of having to look for an ally that cannot be found.
Yesterday evening Matteo Renzi, after exchanging courtesies with Bersani and his establishment (attacks on the secretary, Marini and Finocchiaro), met Silvio at the Teatro Regio in Parma, where the hundredth anniversary of Pietro Barilla's birth was being celebrated. A meeting that certainly does not clear up the clouds gathering over the Democratic Party.
In the conversation, which lasted about half an hour, the two agreed on the lack of confidence in the chances of success of a minority executive led by Bersani, without prejudice to the desire of the grillini not to vote for confidence. Both for the mayor of Florence and for the leader of the PDL, the possibilities of a Pd-Pdl government with broad agreements now reduced to a flicker, theThe only possible way is to go back to the polls.
First, the new president of the Republic will have to be elected: the first vote to choose who will be Giorgio Napolitano's successor will be held in two days, on April 18th. On this issue, however, Berlusconi and Renzi are not and cannot agree, because the candidate for the mayor of Florence is Romano Prodi which obviously does not find the support of the PDL leader.
The Democratic Party, despite Renzi's whipping, insists on the same list of names, which it sees on pole Amato and Marini, even if the possibility of proposing an outsider is considered. While, breaking news, the candidate of the 5 Star Movement for the presidency of the Republic will be Milena Gabanelli, winner of the "Quirinarie", in front of Gino Strada and Stefano Rodotà.
