All the political noises between Cartabia and the Olympics
The Scratches of Damato
Even Francesco Storace, the former minister of the right and then president of the Lazio region, who is certainly not the consultant economist of Palazzo Chigi Riccardo Puglisi, with whom Marco Travaglio took it out by mocking "the fastest language in the world" for having felt something more than a "coincidence" between the Tokyo golds for the Italian athletes and the government led by Mario Draghi, he let himself be tempted by the gratitude, let's call it that, with the promotion of the Prime Minister to "a lucky charm" of his and our country. We hope that now the director of the Fatto Quotidiano , always nostalgic for Giuseppe Conte at Palazzo Chigi, convinced that he was removed from him with a political crime, does not slip into the offices of the Roman Registry or in any case does not provide directly in his own newspaper to cripple the Storace's surname to give him some Starace, the fascist hierarch who embarrassed even Mussolini for his zeal.
On the other hand, the news from Tokyo drew unanimous applause even in a politically tense classroom like yesterday's at Montecitorio. Where the reform of the criminal trial is discussed with the meshes of the question of trust between recriminations of all kinds on who has yielded more or less in the compromise reached by the majority on the final changes by the government to the original text to somehow archive the prescription labeled Bonafede, and assign certain times to at least a part of the Appeal and Cassation judgments. That of the Chamber was a bit of a liberating standing ovation, rightly appreciated even by the forcist speaker initially unaware of the reasons why practically no one was listening to him, preferring information from the Olympics by mobile phone.
We will never have processes as fast as the race of Marcel Jacobs, the fastest Italian in the world in the hundred meters, nor the national GDP, although recovering, will never jump like Gianmarco Tamberi, the Italian who leaps higher in the world, but this is certainly not what we can ask and expect from the government in office since February. It may be enough that it continues to bring us luck even and beyond the dreaded blank semester that will begin tomorrow, during which the jugglers of the crisis could be tempted by the impossibility of the President of the Republic, who is expiring in office, to dissolve the Chambers early. Except that, in the event of a crisis, Sergio Mattarella does not crowd them out by anticipating the end of their assignment with his resignation. And by giving back to his successor, or to himself in the event of re-election, that power is so distressing to a Parliament in which by force of circumstances – between slashed seats and lost votes – there are more those who are sure to leave than those who are able to really return.
What Napoleon, accustomed to wars, said about generals, preferring the luckiest to the best, also applies to governments. Better of course if they are both good and lucky.
