Luigi Di Maio and Matteo Salvini may put forward all the indications they want on the appointment of the Prime Minister of the new M5S-Lega government but in the end it will be the Head of State, Sergio Mattarella, who will choose and decide. It was the President of the Republic himself who recalled this with a very dry and very clear warning to the leaders of the two parties who spent the afternoon at the Pirellone in Milan to seek a government agreement, which has made progress on the program but which must continue tomorrow and perhaps beyond but above all it has not yet solved the problem of problems and that is who should lead the new Executive.
Mattarella, who commemorated Luigi Einaudi in Dogliani, referred to his predecessor to underline that the Constitution entrusts the President of the Republic with the power to choose the Prime Minister and the main ministers and recalled that in 53 Einaudi ignored the indication government of De Gasperi's DC, who had just won the elections, and independently chose Pella as Prime Minister. So no discounts and no doubts about the international and European position: Mattarella is very determined on this.

The path of the new government therefore remains uphill, also due to the cost that the program risks having. If we add up the 45-50 billion euros of the flat tax, the 17 billion of the basic income, the 11 billion of the first year alone for the adjustment of the Fornero law on pensions and the 12 billion to avoid the VAT increase, the new government's economic program risks going down in history as the most expensive in the history of the Republic, touching the record sum of 100 billion.
Tomorrow at 10 the delegations of the Five Star Movement and the League will meet at the Pirellone to tighten up the program but two unknowns weigh on the negotiations: Mattarella's dry warning on the choice of the new Prime Minister and the unpredictable effects of Sergio's political rehabilitation Berlusconi
