The negotiations of the parties in view of the election of the President of the Republic go ahead. Today there was a meeting, defined as "cordial" by both sides, between Matteo Salvini and Giuseppe Conte.
The Northern League and the pentastellato would agree not to support Mario Draghi's climb to the Colle, which would leave a void in Palazzo Chigi that would be difficult to fill except by resorting to early elections.
Meanwhile, Silvio Berlusconi does not yield to the pressure of the allies who ask him for an official candidacy. He is thinking of dissolving the reserve by Sunday, on the eve of the first call of the big electors to Montecitorio.
The intention would be there, the numbers would not. And the center-right summit remains on standby, even if Giorgia Meloni asks for it in a loud voice: “It has yet to be called, as I see it, it is inevitable that it will take place before the end of the week. If it is not scheduled in the next few hours, I will ask for it officially ".
Vittorio Sgarbi also intervenes on Berlusconi, who for days has sought consensus for the Cav with the "squirrel" operation. That of the Forza Italia leader, he says, "is a pause for reflection that he can use to find a name to indicate instead of his own, I imagine he can come out before Monday".
Yesterday a center-left mini-summit was held at Giuseppe Conte's house, with Enrico Letta and Roberto Speranza. At the end, the three posted tweets on the social profiles to underline the unity of the Giallorossi front, reiterating the need to dialogue with the center-right to find an authoritative and shared name. While reiterating the no to Silvio Berlusconi and suggesting that it is not at all true that it is up to the center-right to make a name (the latter thesis also supported by Matteo Renzi).
