The President of the Republic has not yet dissolved the Chambers but the parties are already preparing to vote while there is great expectation in the country as to what date we will be called to vote. Not an easy choice that formally belongs to the government: according to calculations and rumors at the moment the two most probable dates are those of 25 September or 2 October.

While waiting to understand if Sergio Mattarella will dissolve the Chambers, today, the presidents of the Senate and the Chamber, Elisabetta Casellati and Roberto Fico, expect the ascent to the Quirinale, as foreseen by the Constitution. After the meeting, President Mattarella should speak to the press and clarify some steps for the near future. Mario Draghi in fact will continue to lead the executive for current affairs and this will be until the formation of the new government which is foreseeable will not take place before the end of October or early November.

Meanwhile the bleeding of Forza Italia continues: after the exit of Maria Stella Gelmini and Renato Brunetta, Senator Andrea Cangini also pulled out of Berlusconi’s party. Big movements in the center, which he knows he has little time to organize and find a way to be together. What is certain is that Mario Draghi will remain virtually for a long time in the Italian political scene: from the Democratic Party to Toti passing through Calenda everyone explains that it will be “the Draghi agenda” that will oppose the policies of the center-right. Concept also confirmed by Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio. Matteo Renzi calls for a “great reassemblement which, in the name of the principles of these months of Draghi’s government, will say yes to Europe and no to the sovereigns”.

Finally, the center-right has regrouped on the early vote but is already divided on who should be the leader. “Meloni? There is no face of the center-right, we will see when we go to vote. We will have a political and economic program, the Europeanist and Atlantist choice is fundamental, our main interlocutor is the United States”, freezes the expectations of Fratelli d Italy the coordinator of Fi, Antonio Tajani.
