In the end it will be a “government of the presidentLed by the man whose name has been practically evoked since the beginning of the political crisis: Mario draghi. After that Matteo renzi overturned the table of talks causing the exploratory mandate of Roberto fico, Sergio Mattarella announced its intention to “confer as soon as possible a mission to form a government who deal with serious issues promptly non-deferrable emergencies“. Shortly after he summoned everyone Quirinal the former president of the European central bank for Wednesday at 12. It will correspond to preside over what the head of state has defined as “high profile government, which does not have to be identified with no political formula“. An executive of the president saw that the head of state was addressing” a appeal absolutely political forces present in Parliament because “they” confer the trust“.
The (forced) election of the president – Thus ends the political crisis unleashed by Alive italy. After four days of consultations, Stay rose to Quirinal communicate to Mattarella that “at present they remain distances in light of which I have not registered unanimous availability to create a majority. “A very brief face-to-face, of about 20 minutes, between the third and the first state office, which sanctions the failure of the exploration of the third state office. And who has delivered the direction of the crisis. The head of state had already observed in the afternoon how the negotiations between the P.S, I 5 stars, Leu me Alive italy they were close to sinking. After meeting Fico, he reflected for less than an hour before introducing himself to reporters and giving a speech shortly after. seven minutes. The president had two options: take the country to early elections or appoint a technical government who dealt withhealth emergency, economic and social. After explaining why he did not consider the first hypothesis viable, the head of state announced that he had chosen the second. A choice that, with the elements on the Colle table, seems almost mandatory. But let’s go in order.
The two ways of the president –After confirming the negative result of Fico’s mandate – which had a committed, serious and impartial mandate – the president explained that “now two ways, including alternatives. “Which one?” Immediately give birth to a new government, adequate to face the serious emergencies present: sanitary, Social, economic, financial. Or the right away early elections “. The second is the path that the head of state did not follow. It is for this reason that the president spent most of his time explaining why the early voting it was not a viable solution. “This second path must be considered carefully, because the elections represent a exercise of democracy – clarified the tenant of the Colle – Faced with this hypothesis, I have the duty to highlight some circumstances that, today, should make us reflect on opportunity of this solution“What are these circumstances? Meanwhile,” the long campaign period – and the consequent reduction in government activity – would coincide with a crucial moment for the destiny of Italy ”.
Coronavirus, recovery, social alarm: why you can’t go back to the polls – A fundamental moment for several reasons, and the head of state listed them all: “Under the health profile, the next few months will be those in which you can beat the virus or risk being overwhelmed by it. This requires a government in the fullness of its functions take the necessary measures and not a government with minimal activity, as is inevitable in the electoral campaign. The same occurs with the decisive development of the vaccination campaign, which will be carried out in close coordination between the State and the Regions“But it is not only a health emergency that discourages the return to the vote.” In the social aspect, among other things, at the end of March the layoffs blocking and this period requires adequate and timely decisions and social protection measures, which are very difficult to assume by a government without full functions, in full electoral campaign. Then of course there is the Recovery. “For the month of April, plan for the use of large European funds; and it is highly desirable that this happens before that expiration date, because those financing needed get to work soon. And the earlier the plan is presented, the more time you will have to discuss it with the Commission. He has two months to discuss the plan with our government; with an additional month to European Council to approve it. Therefore, it will be necessary, subsequently, to use them promptly so as not to run the risk of losing them. “A kind of program chronograph made decisions that “a government with reduced activity could not” make. “In some respects, I couldn’t even – stressed the custodian of the Charter – And we cannot afford to lose this fundamental opportunity for our future ”.
“Even with early voting, a government takes months” – It is for all these reasons that Mattarella excluded early elections. Also because in case of returning to the polls it would be a long time before having a new executive in full swing. And here the tenant of the Quirinale went into details: “You have to remember that from the day you dissolve the chambers at least elections are needed sixty days. Then they are necessary just under twenty to proclaim the elect and gather the new Chambers. These must, in the following days, designate their own presidential bodies. Therefore, it is necessary to form a government and this, to operate at full speed, must win the trust of both houses. You should also organize your own collaboration offices in the various ministries. Four months have passed since the dissolution of the Chambers in 2013. Five months have passed in 2018 ”. So even with early voting “it would be a matter of keeping our country with a government without full functions for crucial months, decisive for the fight against the pandemic, for European financing and to face serious social problems ”.
“In other countries it was compulsory to vote. Then the infections increased “- But it is not just about times and tasks that “are very present for our fellow citizens, who ask for concrete and quick answers to their daily problems.” Mattarella recalled that a return to the polls in the first months would have had to deal with the fact that “we are in the middle of the pandemic. the virus contagion it is widespread and alarming; and new waves are feared in their variants ”. And the elections “not only consist of the day you go to vote, but include many and complex pre-activities to form and submit applications. Also the following election campaign inevitably requires many well-attended meetings, assemblies, rallies: in the frenetic pace of the elections it is almost impossible for them to take place with the necessary distances ”. Someone will say: why then did other countries go to the polls anyway? Mattarella also anticipated this objection: “In other countries where it was voted – obligatorily, because they were legislatures of parliaments or presidents’ terms have expired – a severe increase in infections. This makes us reflect, thinking about the many victims that unfortunately we continue to register every day, even today ”. It is for all these reasons that the President of the Republic has chosen not to return to the polls. Now that I think about it, it was a blocked road.
