Forza Italia, Tajani pro tempore president – Corriere.it

A press conference with all top party leaders sitting next to each other – the coordinator Antonio Tajanithe group leaders in the Senate, the Chamber and the European Parliament Ronzulli, Barelli and Martusciello – to demonstrate that Come on Italy alive, united and continues in its party path which is inspired by Berlusconi and which will go on even without him. At 12, in the party headquarters in Piazza San Lorenzo in Lucina, the next initiatives will be announced – such as a two-day membership throughout Italy – and above all the road that will be followed to establish the new, provisional and then definitive leaders will be indicated.

As required by the internal rules that only Berlusconi could, if he wanted, subvert, in case of impediment or absence of the presidentthe Presidential Committee is convened which convenes a National Council to indicate the acting president. Who will be, no one doubts, Antonio Tajani himself, former coordinator and vice president.

Times should, again by statute, be very tight, but it is not clear when the official appointment of the Foreign Minister as regent will take place. However, it will only be then that the congress can be called to vote on all the new bodies, and given that various statutory passages will be necessary, it will not be discussed before next year, probably after the Europeans. The political sense however one: the Berlusconi family has given the green light to the continuation of the life of the party, which he will still support economically and also visually, and as has already been decided in recent days, the internal wars have stopped for now, as well as the new appointments announced. At least until Tajani becomes president. In short, there will be time to negotiate, a necessary step to keep a party united whose legacy would be coveted by many.
