Giorgio Napolitano does not resign in this blank semester: he will remain until the last useful day of his mandate. But, for the moment, he is not appointing anyone to form a new Executive, a month after the elections. “The Monti government – he said today – is still operational”.
The President of the Republic recalled having met the representatives of the major political blocs present in the new Parliament and noted "the persistence of different positions with respect to the formation of a new Government". In short, he cannot entrust the task to anyone for the moment, even though he admits "the urgency of the country's problems".
“”An element of concrete certainty – Napolitano added – is represented by the effectiveness of the Government in office”, specifying that “it has not been disheartened in Parliament”. “I am going to ask two small groups of personalities to formulate problems on essential themes of an institutional, economic-social and European nature”. The President, leaving the journalists, admitted that the names of these wise men will already be made known this afternoon.
