Strategies On the table
Milan , August 6, 2014 – 7:16
ROME – The comparison between the two began around 9am, at Palazzo Chigi and ended just before 11. And it was an opportunity to give a shine to a pact that has held up to a difficult passage, that of substantial self-elimination of the Senate. A result that few people believed, but that they wanted to Renzi and Berlusconi at any cost, even at the risk of splitting the respective parties and on their way to leave trails of dangerous discontent.
It served the premier having a strong ally on reforms to offset any diktat of the majority parties, starting dall’Ncd, and the minority inside the Democratic Party. It served to give the opponent Berlusconi also a successful image and a strong parliamentary support to receive in exchange a new-found political centrality, a role from ‘father of reforms “(” I am the most reliable partner, “he repeats), a new legitimacy after the heavy blows of condemnation Mediaset partly muffled by absolution in the Ruby trial.
Today, the menu of the meeting – which also involved Gianni Letta and Denis Verdini for FI and Lorenzo Guerini and Luca Lotti the Democratic Party – there will be agreement on the substance of the new electoral law, quell’Italicum that the Senate will begin voting in September, on which the Prime Minister yesterday said he was confident: “I am optimistic that we will find an agreement. ” But there will be above the reconfirmation – with mutual assurance – that the path taken can continue without tearing.
They plan on both sides that the two leaders will renew the agreement: Renzi needs that Berlusconi grant him openings to change an electoral law that especially the Ncd see how the wool over the eyes, so as to send the clear signal yesterday by Alfano, who has demanded a meeting with the Prime Minister to mark its position and especially the weight that his party wants to decision-making table.
At the end of face-to-face, the centrists have appeared reassured “It is important that the premier meetings also Alfano, would not be acceptable to an axis with Berlusconi to crush the small parties,” says Renato Schifani. And Quagliariello reaffirms that major changes will all’Italicum, after the reform of the Senate, otherwise the path for the majority would be very difficult. Berlusconi is ready to take steps, to ensure support in the coming parliamentary procedures that await reforms, and to promise a responsible opposition, almost benign, provided that it continues to remain privileged and “steps should coordinate among us,” not only on the electoral law.
There are still nodes that the workings continuous – with Verdini protagonist for FI – has not melted. FI is available to meet the demands that Renzi must do on behalf of his government allies – the lowering of thresholds is the major stumbling block – but the extent to which the two major parties can yield? Yesterday at lunchtime on a first summit with Verdini and Letta and last night in a second round to dinner Berlusconi has reasoned that the stakes for his party remain impassable. If Ncd and other centrist parties of the majority – about fifteen Members of Parliament from various forces met yesterday morning to take a common position – demanding that the thresholds are lowered dramatically (for parties that coalesced from the current 4.5 to 2; for non-coalesced from 8 to 4, which is the same as the porcellum not rejected by the View) and claim ‘true preferences’ FI can not get to concede as much.
On lowering barriers there will be , both for the coalition parties that no, there is coldness preferences, on the threshold to get the majority of the premium that leads to 55% raised from 37% to 40% of the agreement is global, but it is unlikely it will come today to sign a final protocol . It will come alive – and they want to provide in FI – only in the autumn, when the general climate may be warmer. And the agreement between Renzi and Berlusconi need to prepare now for what could be the steps of tomorrow.
