The prime minister in charge Enrico Letta will not lift the reserve on the formation of the government before tonight. This was reported by staff sources about him. By today it is also possible that, once the list of ministers has been presented to Napolitano, the oath of office of the new Executive team will be held. Everything will depend on how the negotiations of the last few hours between the Pd and Pdl will be resolved. The settlement speech in the Chambers and the vote of confidence should take place from Monday.
Letta reported the progress of Thursday's consultations to the Head of State yesterday, then had an interview with the outgoing prime minister Mario Monti to talk about "the government's program and architecture" and finally other contacts, especially by telephone, with Silvio Berlusconi.
“I was on the phone with my parents for a long time – said the Knight -, they told me that things are going well and that there was no talk of ministries and names but of things to do. There was a very positive attitude on the part of the president in charge and they came away from this meeting, which lasted almost two hours, very comforted. I didn't think there were any real problems. Certainly we can't expect a 100% agreement, however I felt very comforted and even Brunetta was absolutely convinced of the good outcome of the match”.
Here are the most likely names for the main departments:
Economy: Amato or Saccomanni
Foreign: Monti or D'Alema
Inside: Clerks
Justice: Vietti or Severino
Work: Brunetta, Treu or Fassina
School: Lupi or Gelmini
Development: Franceschini or Brunetta
