February 3, 2022 is still far away, the date on which the President’s mandate will expire in the Quirinal Sergio Mattarella, but for some time now rumors and strategies have been pursued in the always delicate race to Colle.
This time, however, there is one more factor: with the victory of Yes in the referendum, the Italians have established that from the next legislature the current one will end except for a government crisis in 2023, there will be 345 less parliamentarians.
Consequently, the following Republic President He will be elected by a Parliament that will see its structure revolutionized just a year later, with also the number of regional delegates that will have to be revised in proportion to the cut in deputies and senators.
So there is a crazy idea that would be circulating in the rooms of Palazzo Chigi: to convince Sergio Mattarella to accept a second term but only for one year, with Parliament in its new version that would vote again in 2023 to elect the next President of the Republic.
Conte pressed for a Mattarella-bis?
Barring a government crisis in the coming months, this Parliament a February 2022 He will have to elect the new President of the Republic. It should be remembered that in July 2021 the blank semester will begin, where it is not possible to dissolve the Chambers, so this legislature will have to exceed the next few months to reach one year of its natural expiration of 2023.
Rumors speak of a Giuseppe Conte inclined to new candidacy of Sergio Mattarella for Colle in 2022, who would however remain in office for only one year and then leave in 2023 after the political elections have been held.
A bit like Giorgio Napolitano did previously, for the president it would be an encore mandate, thus allowing the next Head of State to be elected with the new Parliament format.
Those more behind the scenes, however, advance another motivation that would be pushing Giuseppe Conte to insist in this direction: the possibility perhaps in 2023 of being elected. himself as president of the republic.
To do so should take the field personally At the political level in the next elections, for some time there has been talk of a “Conte party”, to guarantee a Parliament favorable to his election in Colle.
However, it will not be easy for two reasons: the center-right is currently ahead of the Giallorossi according to polls, without taking into account that Sergio Mattarella has always been opposed to his second term.
With an ongoing pandemic, it seems difficult to imagine a possible scenario for 2022 at this time, given that given the health and economic crisis that Italy is taking hold like the rest of the world, it is not possible to do long-term projects but only to sail in sight.
