The goal is to put out the fire to start again
.
In the center-right it is time for the bridges between Silvio Berlusconi and Giorgia Meloni: they work on the axis created by
Gianni Letta and the new president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa
, engaged in a diplomatic operation that is anything but simple.
Above all, the aim is to mend the human relationship between the two leaders, in order to restart the political confrontation necessary for the birth of the new government.
In these delicate hours, Matteo Salvini plays a non-secondary role - he is in Rome, with Meloni he heard himself several times during the day - who, between two fires, also seems to come out strengthened: the League has collected the presidency of the Chamber and is destined to have five or six ministries, including that of the Economy, with Giancarlo Giorgetti.
However, some majority sources do not rule out a revival of
the 'technical' solution with Fabio Panetta.
If in the end the prefect Matteo Piantedosi were to pass away, the League could also collect the Viminale, with Nicola Molteni among the eligible candidates.
Berlusconi returned to Arcore after the two days of fire in Rome, in which the clash with Meloni reached its peak, for the notes on his desk in the Senate captured by photographers, full of adjectives anything but welcome to the premier in pectore .
The Knight is described as becoming more and more irritated after seeing the FdI leader's reply on television ("
Missing a point, that is 'not blackmail
'") and after reading the reconstructions of the newspapers.
Berlusconi, it is reasoned in blue circles, remains convinced that we must have a government together, he knows that there is still a week of time and believes that the burden of a proposal is up to Meloni, after Thursday's one that went sideways to the president by Forza Italia.
The idea is to make the situation settle down over the weekend, and immediately create the conditions to resume dialogue.
A vision that at the moment does not seem aligned with that of the top management of the Brothers of Italy.
After FI's tear in the Senate and the incident with Berlusconi
, according to what is told in circles of FdI Meloni - still very disappointed - does not seem willing to make new concessions, after having proposed four ministries to the Azzurri, including Foreign Affairs for Antonio Tajani, and the Public Administration for Elisabetta Casellati.
In a situation of such chaos, there are those who manage not to exclude drastic scenarios, such as a government without Forza Italia.
With this in mind, the work of Noi moderati to set up the groups in the Chambers (a derogation is needed due to the lack of the minimum necessary numbers of components) is also read as an operation to provide a stable fourth leg to the executive should it be needed. .
Most, however, are convinced that in the end realpolitik will prevail.
A seasoned Northern League player trusts in the "pressing of the governors on Berlusconi.

In the center-right, any suggestion of an approach with the Third Pole is liquidated.
"The only possible government is that of a center-right coalition", in the words of Raffaele Fitto (probable minister for European Affairs at FdI).
Not surprisingly, the force player and former An Maurizio Gasparri, appealing to the sense of responsibility of all in a "coalition with balances carved by the voters", stressed that next week there is the election of the vice-presidents of the Chambers "and therefore we must talk".
If other "running-in" accidents
can be avoided
, as defined by the Senate Fitto, could include the risk, proposed by FI sources in recent days, that the center-right does not participate together in the consultations.
On a Saturday of heated exchanges of accusations with the opposition on the choice to entrust the presidencies of the Chambers to La Russa and Lorenzo Fontana, the FdI exponents in public avoided any polemical hint against Berlusconi.
"The government team - assured Fabio Rampelli - will take into account the representativeness of the allied parties".
The number of technicians is announced to be limited: among these, one could be chosen for Health (we are talking about Francesco Rocca, president of the Italian Red Cross), while for Work the concrete hypothesis is Marina Calderone, president of the Order of Consultants of Labor.
