To put "the trump cards" in the government, to bring in "the best possible energy from all parties".

Matteo Salvini evokes for the first time a government reshuffle after the election of the new President of the Republic

.

With the entry of the leaders

. "Everyone, from the first to the last". Salvini included? "I am not used to withdrawing from my responsibilities", replies the secretary of the League. In the afternoon he has a brief exchange of words in the Senate with Mario Draghi then on TV, to a question about the government, he answers by shuffling the cards, with an impact also on the game for the Quirinale, even if the Northern League reiterates the hope that Palazzo Chigi will remain Draghi, for the "concern" that its release will create "confusion". "It is clear to everyone that the government pact must find new energy", says Enrico Letta, who invokes a high profile at Colle and evokes Sergio Mattarella, because "it would be the best".

The joint with the executive is the real knot of a possible election of Draghi to the Quirinale.

With the passing of the days, even those who support this hypothesis would have been convinced of the impossibility of continuing with another technical premier, while 'political' hypotheses would be probed, perhaps with the leaders in the team. Salvini, holding back from the League, has only said that in the last year of the legislature, with crucial challenges for the country, the leaders must be even more involved and empowered.


But the tones seem less final than those with which on Monday Silvio Berlusconi announced Fi's exit from the majority in the event of the election of the premier at the Colle. The words of the Northern League leader give a glimpse of the arguments already underway, under trace, among the parties precisely on the government.


    And Draghi? He remains silent on the Colle game. Commemorating David Sassoli underlines the centrality of Parliament, especially in times of crisis. He talks about Europe, but those who listen to him also mean it with a message in a national key (even to the big voters). The prime minister accidentally crosses Salvini as he leaves the Senate and stops to talk with him for a few minutes: they have made an appointment shortly to discuss the expensive bills, explains the League. Salvini knows, however, that a vote for the Colle with a majority other than that supported by the government risks overwhelming Draghi himself. And he raises the table with all the leaders, asking his opponents to "remove vetoes on center-right candidates", knowing full well that the veto is already there, on Berlusconi.


    Meanwhile, the PD management on the Quirinale slides to Saturday (for David Sassoli's funeral home, official sources explain) and, in ricasco, the center-right summit could postpone to next week, even if the leader of the League talks about a meeting with Meloni and Berlusconi "in the week". Il Cavaliere arrives in Rome to hold the ranks of the campaign for his candidacy, renamed 'squirrel operation': yesterday evening from Villa Grande, where he receives the group leaders of Fi to make a point, optimism about the possibility of reaching the goal of the majority transpires absolute. On the sidelines of the sessions of the Chamber and Senate, however, the skepticism of the center-right parliamentarians about the chances of electing the Knight filters.A SWG poll is noted according to which Draghi would be the most welcome among right-wing voters themselves (58%, against Berlusconi's 39% and Elisabetta Casellati's 37%). There are those who tell the perplexities of the moderate area of ​​Fi, from which the advice would come to retire and be the kingmaker of the election of another candidate. But more than one center-left parliamentarian says he was called in recent weeks by Cavaliere or by one of his own, in a round of consultations. "I am waiting for Berlusconi to dissolve his reservations," says Salvini. And Meloni says: "We have the golden share, we have to play it until the end".from which the advice would come to withdraw and be the kingmaker of the election of another candidate.

    "The center-right doesn't have the ball, you need a broad agreement", objects Letta. The PD secretariat, updated after a reminder from Sassoli, reiterates that the Democratic Party works for a president with a large majority and for the continuation of the legislature, without early elections. Giuseppe Conte, who saw Letta yesterday and should return to meet him with Speranza, summons the M5s parliamentary groups for Wednesday evening, which continue to invoke the Mattarella bis. The hope for the re-election of the head of state remains very present, but as an alternative to Draghi, the names of Giuliano Amato (uphill), Pier Ferdinando Casini (again positive at Covid) but also Casellati are also mentioned.


    Meanwhile, even the 'little ones' meet: Courage Italia will try to settle the divisions in the next few hours between those who, like Luigi Brugnaro, want to propose Draghi al Colle, and those who, like Giovanni Toti, still prefer not to express themselves.
