“Over the past 10 years attempts to set up a structure similar to Forza Italia for a post-Berlusconi-era have intensified. This move now looks like good timing, with the health condition of Berlusconi and a huge government majority, which gives MPs more flexibility to change party. Italy is rowing towards an unknown destination as Draghi has already determined big changes in the political system, and others are likely to happen in view of the presidential election in 2022. If there are changes to the government after that, a group of 25 parliamentarians could be decisive in forming another government, whereas 12 months ago it would have had little impact.”
