Still nothing done. The second round of consultations ended without any progress between the parties.
"From the progress of the consultations in recent days it emerges clearly that the confrontation between the political parties to create a majority in Parliament that supports a government has made no progress". These are the exact words used by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, who, once again, could not help but "take note of the stalemate", asking for a few days to figure out how to get out of it.
However, the head of state underlined the need to "have a government in the fullness of its functions" recalling the "tensions of world trade, the international crisis, European deadlines" which require the establishment of an executive. A clear and precise message to the principals parties in the country which, for their part, continue to veto and counter-veto.
The latest controversy dates back to less than 24 hours ago, when at the end of the meeting with Mattarella, Silvio Berlusconi stole the limelight from the new center-right leader, Matteo Salvini, reiterating his did not to an agreement with Di Maio. The latter, to his song, reciprocated and reaffirmed his No to an agreement with the former Knight. In order not to fall behind, the number one of the League has definitively closed the doors to a possible alliance with the Democratic Party.
Faced with this scenario, the margins of action of the President of the Republic are reduced to a flicker. There are currently two hypotheses in the field: exploratory assignment to Casellati or to a super partes personality. The Giorgetti option, on the other hand, has faded.
This morning Mattarella also met the president emeritus Giorgio Napolitano: “As institutional representatives – said the former head of state at the end of the conversation – we are all close to President Mattarella in the search for solutions. The di lui is an extremely difficult and complex task and at the same time presents its own undeniable urgency ”. After Napolitano, the Speaker of the Chamber, Roberto Fico, followed by the Speaker of the Senate, Maria Elisabetta Casellati.

We'd also get a little tired of waiting. This is also disrespect for voters.
