"Quirinale will be discussed in January, also because in recent decades I have never seen a President of the Republic chosen months in advance. So what is happening these days is just a chat that distracts from important things".
The secretary of the Democratic Party,
Enrico Letta, said this
on the sidelines of the Lombard party assembly, which is being held at Palazzo Pirelli in Milan. "I will not say anything until January, then obviously everyone is free to do what they want, since we are in a free country," added Letta. "I think it is a very wise thing to focus on the things to do today, which are so many: from the exit from the pandemic to the choices on taxes on work that must be reduced", added Letta. To those who asked him if he was talking to the 5 Star Movement about a possible candidacy for the position of President of the Republic, Letta replied: "No, I'm not talking to anyone about Quirinale".
The leader of the Lega
Matteo Salvini
also intervenes on the issue
.
"I respect Mattarella's request: neither he nor Draghi pulls each other by the jacket. We are working to have a President who is not owned by the Democratic Party but represents everyone," he said arriving at the Federmanager national assembly.
