Tenth month Meloni is looking for a sovereign path to ratification, with an eye on the Quirinale

The premier does not want to take on the abjuration, but Salvini leaves her to flounder in her contradictions. Giorgetti reassures Brussels, but stalls. Fitto is skeptical, but silent. And there are those in the government who fear a new friction with Colle

It is clear that we cannot drag it out too long. This is what Antonio Tajani is convinced of, for example, and like him Giancarlo Giorgetti too. There are however, and among these Raffaele Fitto, who believes that it is not even useful to prolong this exhausting pantomime any longer. In short, everyone in the government knows that the Mes will have to be ratified. They know it and repeat it privately. Except then, of course, making a display of public sovereign frown. Giorgia Meloni, in discussions with her confidants, had hinted that it could not in any case be that of Wednesday, the theater of surrender. The question time in the Chamber, the courtroom rodeo on live TV: imagine. The abjuration will take place on the sly, possibly nobody’s daughter. And perhaps here lies the political crux: the fact that instead, according to Matteo Salvini, the paternity of the denial must be clear: “We await Giorgia”.
