Negotiations to form a new government majority and avoid early elections in Italy they will occupy the weekend since the scenarios and possibilities are very varied.
Possible scenarios
For many observers, it is possible that Mario Draghi will accept a second term with a different majority, without M5E, which would have political consequences, since it would exclude the winner of the 2018 legislative elections with 32% of the vote.
For now, nothing has been leaked about the position of the anti-system, who have left the door open for dialogue to recompose the unity governmentbut at the same time they are tempted to leave the Italian Executive.
