“A guarantee government led by Monti”

The group leader of API in the Chamber: "We need a sort of President's Executive, led by a prestigious international figure like Mario Monti" - "Berlusconi is not able to stay in power for long, because his relationship has broken with the country” – “The referenda will have enormous political significance” - “I will vote to repeal the legitimate impediment”

“Berlusconi is unable to remain at the helm of the government for long, because his relationship with the country has broken. And this rupture has been certified by the vote for local elections, especially in the North. This puts the League in particular, that is to say its main ally, in great difficulty ". Bruno Tabacci of the API (Alliance for Italy) is one of the most authoritative exponents of the third pole and is particularly satisfied with the results, political rather than electoral, of the vote last Sunday and Monday. At the same time he is particularly attentive to what may be the political evolution of the aftermath. “The maneuver that Europe is asking of us, the objective difficulties that have already hit countries like Spain, the numerous signs of social unease these days suggest that, rather than a new electoral campaign, there is a need for a government of guarantee to reconcile the country", he argues, adding: "It would be a political government, a sort of government of the President, which could be led by a figure of great international prestige such as Mario Monti" and have the broad support of Parliament, including the League .

Yes, but in the meantime, what would happen to the PDL and the legacy of the current premier? Tabacci's belief is that "Berlusconi's political legacy does not exist" interest of citizens". These are words of particular significance if one considers that, in the Parliament which was defined as "of the under investigation", it was precisely the Christian Democrat Bruno Tabacci who supported the Budget Law of the Ciampi government as rapporteur. Naturally, before the elections that will take place at least in 1994, a new electoral law needs to be put in place which, "by abolishing the majority bonus, will also meet the League's need to be able to present itself in political elections free, and not anchored in an obligatory alliance with Berlusconi. Since the time of mandatory majorities is over”.
Basically this is, in his opinion, the political success of the third pole operation. An operation that took place over several times.

Tabacci recalls how he himself put in place "the white rose" distancing himself from the UDC, then still in alliance with Berlusconi. A move which then "led Casini to courageously reject Berlusconi's diktat for the single party to be presented in the general elections". Finally the tear of Fini and "the birth of the third pole". Yet the results of the candidates of this alignment have not, in the opinion of most, met with great success. Almost as if a positive political result was matched by an unsatisfactory electoral result. Given that what interested above all was political success, Tabacci adds that "the results of the centrist candidates in Naples and Milan were good" and that "the first moves of Pisapia and de Magistris show great attention towards the personalities of the third pole" . The referendums will take place in less than two weeks and there are those who think that it could be the achievement of the quorum and the consequent approval of the questions that will definitively evict Berlusconi. Tabacci is convinced that the referendums will have enormous political importance. Of course he has some reservations about those for water because "the management of him does not necessarily have to be public". But then he underlines: “I will go to vote above all to repeal the legitimate impediment. All citizens are equal before the law. And Berlusconi cannot consider himself the Marquis of Grillo”. Then a forecast: “The League will not tell its followers to desert the polls. Maybe he will invite them to vote on those of water. But this time the quorum is reached: And the question on the legitimate impediment will do the towing. Especially if Berlusconi persists in staying in his place despite the Italians' vote ”.
