Second day of consultations. Distances remain on the name of Conte

Second day of consultations at the Quirinale.

After yesterday's high institutional offices, today it will be the turn of Colle di Pd and Italia Viva.

But the situation does not seem to have begun, at least for now, to any clearing up.

The distances between the parties remain, especially on the name of the premier.

.  

And in the meantime, zero contacts between

.

A simple fact of the news that gives the measure of how screwed up the crisis is.

The situation, they observe in Quirinale circles is "very complicated".

And in Parliament there are even more worried accents.

Because the 'responsible' operation so far seems to have failed in the attempt to provide more numbers to the Senate.

The groups of Italia viva still seem essential to form a government.

But Renzi and his followers continue to use very harsh words, embodying those who claim that replacing the outgoing premier is "Renzi's true goal".

Both from IV and the M5s deny that contacts are underway between the senator of Rignano and

to bring the foreign minister to Palazzo Chigi.

But a Renzian source with closed notebooks says that "there can be a harmony" on an alternative name to Conte.

When the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella has not yet entered the heart of the meetings with the parties, the hypothesis is spreading in Parliament that, due to the difficulty of settling the chaos in the potential majority, the head of state can entrust an exploratory mandate to the

.

A voice, nothing more.

Also because, if the goal were to have Conte and Renzi sit at the same table to try to overcome the apparent lack of communication, the exploratory mandate could be entrusted to the outgoing premier himself.

Alternatively, if a majority materializes with more clarity, Conte could go to a real re-assignment, with the aim of finding an agreement on a new program and a government team.

The delegation of IV to the head of state should reiterate its willingness to sit at the majority table, even with Conte prime minister in charge, "without vetoes".

But it should also underline the absence of contacts and signals from Palazzo Chigi: "Our questions are known, Conte's answers never received. Our support is linked to a strong discontinuity in method and substance", says a manager of the group .

At Palazzo Chigi they still do not trust Renzi at all, on the contrary they think that he has already scattered the path towards the Count ter with traps.

But the barometer on the possibility of being able to make a real attempt seems to turn a little more to the positive, also because there are rumors of an ongoing negotiation with a 'big' of Forza Italia for the passage between the

.

But above all, it reassures Nicola Zingaretti's speech in the direction of the Pd, which Conte would also have listened to in live streaming.

The Pd secretary, who favored the birth of the "Europeanist" fourth leg with a "loan" Dem, indicates to the end a convinced attempt for the Count ter, keeps in the field - not wishing it - the scenario of the polls, points the finger at the unreliability of Renzi.

The Dems are divided on whether Conte is essential or not.

But in a very concise direction and preceded by tight contacts between the currents, they converge on a compact line to guarantee a strong attempt on the Count.

On what to do if it fails, ideas diverge.

Di Maio, who spends the afternoon in Palazzo Chigi, also guarantees not to work for subordinates.

But among the Five stars there are those who say that there is more than one possible subordinate.

The game is long, the first few bars are played with hole cards, suspicions and poisons meander.

The fact that the Democratic Party points so decisively on Conte, for example, by some majority allies - of IV and M5s - is interpreted as a move to "knock over" the premier.

Among the Dems there are those who fear that the real goal, in agreement with Conte, is to go to the elections.

The bugbear of the ballot boxes still seems to be the one capable of disrupting the games on the 'second round', should the lawyer fail.

Renzi would be ready to support Di Maio, it is not a mystery.

But

also dusts off the name of

In a "majority Ursula" key, the names of

continue to be mentioned, despite the clear denials of those directly involved

And then the technical options, in broad terms or electoral governance: from

But secretly there is also already talk of ministers.

But with which premier?

It is still a mystery.
