Today there was a meeting between Matteo Salvini and Giuseppe Conte. It is learned from Northern League and cinquestelle parliamentary sources. According to the Northern League sources, it was a "cordial meeting".
"On the Quirinale the meetings are proceeding with all the parties involved and the center-right will reason and vote together, will be determined and decisive and Berlusconi's role is and will be fundamental. I am confident". The leader of the Lega Matteo Salvini said this during a press point with journalists under the Senate.
"Berlusconi is in Arcore and will remain in Arcore, I believe he will express himself with bulletins. It seems clear to me that this pause has become a reflection, in which he can develop a name in place of his and work with the commitment of a father of the country . I would say that we have been on this point for a day and a half. " This is how Vittorio Sgarbi framed the situation of the leader of Forza Italia with respect to the race to the Quirinale. "I know what name Berlusconi will propose", assured Sgarbi, guest for the third consecutive day of Un giorno da pecora, on Rai Radio 1. And to those who asked him about the three women considered among the possible options, he replied: " I can exclude Moratti, Cartabia doesn't know who she is, I can't say anything about Casellati, she's the president of the Senate.with the ability to say that we need a figure who unites "." I completely exclude that Berlusconi will be counted, the name comes out before Monday, I also imagine that it can come out in writing - added the deputy and art critic, who in the past weeks helped the former prime minister to contact a number of parliamentarians -. The summit can also be hoped for, but forcing him to come to Rome ... If he is not to be elected, what is he going to do in Rome? ". Sgarbi then explained that he was" no longer convinced "of Berlusconi's propensity for a reconfirmation of Sergio Mattarella at Colle. "I know he wanted the Mattarella bis as the best solution ever: it is something he told me last Friday, but since Friday things have changed, I don't think he will propose the name of Mattarella".
