The answer will come by the end of July. Maybe even sooner, in a week, say well-informed sources. Carlo Cottarelli will make his decision: yes or no to the proposal to be the center-right candidate for mayor of Milan? A verdict that concerns not only the coalition that wants to take back the metropolis but also the center-left. In the PD – with whom Cottarelli was elected senator in the last general elections, only to resign less than a year later in open conflict with the Schlein line – there is psychosis. The fear of losing Italy’s most important city is growing. Losing then against a former member would be hard to digest…
So much so that Elly, they swear in Roman circles, in case of an affirmative answer from the economist to run in the opposing camp would already be ready to call Pierfrancesco Majorino to shatter all his dreams of glory. It is no secret that the PD group leader in the Lombardy Region has always longed for the highest seat in Palazzo Marino. Three years ago he decided to leave Brussels (he was a Member of the European Parliament) to sacrifice himself against Attilio Fontana in the Regional elections – which he lost badly, by almost 21 points – not because he aspired to gratuitous martyrdom but to get closer to home and weave the web to become mayor. The name of Cottarelli, sponsored by Forza Italia and also appreciated by the leaders of Brothers of Italy, has however shaken things up.

A radical name like Majorino’s, against a moderate capable of also drawing from the reformist and external electoral pool to the “broad field” (see especially Action), would seriously risk compensating. Hence the agitation of the secretary, who would be willing to propose anything to “her” man just to avoid his candidacy. At the moment it is the center-right that holds the reins, with the progressives on the sidelines to choose the best name. And not vice versa: all this, given the premises, was by no means taken for granted.
