(ANSA) - GENOA, 14 JAN - In view of the election of the President of the Republic "the real issue is whether the center-right has the votes to elect a president. On this I allow myself to be very, very cautious". This was stated by the president of the Liguria Region and co-founder of Coraggio Italia GiovanniToti on Radio 1.
"There were many 'divisive' candidates at the Quirinale", he added recalling "the candidacy of Mattarella, a president whom I not only esteemed but at times also loved for his position and proximity to Liguria. He was not voted by the center-right, this did not prevent him from being a good president ".
"If the candidate of the center-right will actually be Berlusconi, - he said - we will be aligned with the candidate Berlusconi. Obviously, in the hope that all the conditions are met for it to be a successful candidacy, the center-right has an important chance being the first group in Parliament".
