“We have always set ourselves rules, and they must be respected. Without a premiership agreement it would make no sense to go to government together ”.

Giorgia Meloni 's message to Matteo Salvini and Silvio Berlusconi is clear and direct. No games to bring to Palazzo Chigi an exponent more appreciated by the moderate wing: in the event of a victory of the center-right, the Prime Minister must be the leader of the most voted party. Therefore, according to current polls, the leader of the Brothers of Italy.

"I trust that we will want to confirm, also for reasons of time, rules that have always worked in the center-right, that we have always respected and that it is not clear why they should change today ", said Meloni in an interview with Tg5.

His message is not accidental, which arrives in the days when Lega and Forza Italia, Berlusconi in the first place, circulate the hypothesis that the elected prime minister is chosen by the three parties .

Salvini throws an olive branch to avoid splits when the electoral campaign is only at the beginning: “Let's leave divisions and quarrels to the left, whoever has one more vote will have the burden and the honor of indicating the premier . We are ready to reason with the allies on the government program ”.

A topic that will be on the agenda at the meeting on Wednesday between the three leaders, who must solve another problem not just, the subdivision of single-member constituencies : the unwritten rule that the parties had given themselves, also unwritten , was to divide the places by averaging the latest polls.

Meanwhile Forza Italia is struggling with a real hemorrhage. After the farewells of Brunetta, Gelmini and Cangini, the Azzurri also lose Giusy Versace and Annalisa Baroni . And eyes remain on Mara Carfagna , who should formalize her decision this week.
