These meetings, according to the rites of a parliamentary democracy, are being preceded by the crisis between the parties of the right-wing coalition that won the elections due to the attacks by former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and an ally of Meloni, on the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and his friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who sent him vodka for his birthday a few days ago and a letter reinforcing the friendship between the two leaders.
In Berlusconi’s strong statements in front of 50 people -which according to him were leaked recordings without his consent- in addition to accusing Zelensky of whom he considers responsible for the conflict in Ukraine and accuses him of breaking a key peace agreement by “tripling the attacks Against two Donbas territories, the “Cavaliere” confesses that the Russian president considers him “the first of his five true friends” and that he cannot express his opinion, because if he told it to the press it would be a disaster. “America and the West have no real leaders,” he said.
Berlusconi’s outbursts not only threaten but also put the future far-right government at risk before it is born and provoked the immediate reaction of the future prime minister, who reiterated in a statement her position in favor of the European Union and support for Ukraine against the Russian invasion.
In the midst of an unprecedented situation in the country submerged in a dramatic and emergency economic crisis, President Mattarella is consulting all parliamentary groups, from the center parties to the anti-system Five Star Movement and the center-left Democratic Party. At the end of them, it is likely -despite repeated sabotage by Berlusconi- that President Mattarella will commission Giorgia Meloni to form a new government. It would be the first time in the history of the Republic of Italy that a woman reaches the position of Prime Minister, and this is difficult for Berlusconi, 86, several times Premier, owner of Mediaset -the most important multimedia company- a man still of great power in the country in the shape of a boot.
Meloni must then deliver the list with the proposal of new ministers to Mattarella, who, if he agrees, will confirm them in the positions.
