After the euphoria for Mattarella, the reconfirmation of Draghi: but the gods blind those who want to lose

A sigh of relief, a sigh to tell the truth, fed by a pair of lungs comparable to full bellows, which united both sides of the Atlantic, from Brussels to Washington: this is the emphatic choral judgment of the press that counts, the Republic and the Corriere della Sera to hold the direction, the more discovery the one more covered the other, so much so as to claim together a large representation of "responsible" people, who should be the only ones to count, if anything through a law electoral able to legitimize her alone to vote. In the meantime, the reconfirmation of Mattarella and Draghi should be prolonged, made a constant, which has already been done, making a material constitution prevail over the formal Constitution of 1948, given the impossibility of modifying it, which tends to be for life, albeit with some loss of face.

It was done for the President of the Republic, who was gratified by a cleverly constructed re-election; we would like to do it for the Prime Minister, who found himself humiliated by a confirmation of fact that was absolutely unwanted. Everyone played their game, but the casino on duty was much more suitable for the tenant of the Quirinale, parked for decades in the Chamber, suitably transmigrated from the DC to the Democratic Party, with a whole series of prudent intermediate steps, one of those Christian Democrats who, lost their party, they colonized another, a politician, that is, a good connoisseur of the Roman dialect. Much more suitable than for the occupant of Palazzo Chigi, a stateless person without any passport, with a whole sequence of prestigious banking positions, but for this reason seen as expendable only when needed, a technician, that is, an excellent master of only international vocabulary.

The centrists are thinking about ensuring a long life for the current Prime Minister, they are pushing for a more than proportional system, so as to count, in the first instance, to be able to present themselves with Draghi as leaders; and, secondly, in a Parliament where they should acquire the character of the decisive pendulum, reconfirm him in the role of head of the executive. In the meantime, contribute to the fire on sight against Salvini, guilty of the failure of the operation "a woman at the Quirinale", because she was not the right one, an executive of the department including the secret services, a Putin in a skirt for Renzi, who although it boasts some dubious international relations, a non-political one for Tajani, who even helped to sink Casellati, a daughter of Forza Italia, designated by Berlusconi himself as president of the Senate.

Fire on sight against Salvini, like the dangerous terrorist with a lit fuse to blow up the government, whatever he says or does, as long as he is not in absolute harmony with Draghi, who, now, has lost all faith in the parties, naturally the League – while Fratelli d'Italia has every good right to earn the single opposition annuity. Lastly, his distancing himself from a discrimination between vaccinated and unvaccinated pupils perpetrated in perfect bad faith, with the precise aim of confirming the accuracy of the government health policy followed with obsessive continuity by the self-perpetuating Speranza, in the ways of a authentic no-vax hunt , to be taken literally for hunger. It was already clear for some time that Omicron , having reached a peak, would deflate by itself, so much so that it had to begin to take notice with a small decrease in the rigid line. But what to do with all that harness that was put into operation only at the beginning of the year, starting with the obligation of the Green Pass to go to work, set to take effect on February 15th?

It was said and repeated triumphantly, that Italy had risen to be a model for all of Europe, our natural modesty prevented us from feeling imitated in every part of the earth, but this is a gigantic and bitter lie, which will do us no honor. in the true story of the pandemic. What was the emphatic promise, to save from infection, but today it must be acknowledged that it is no longer possible; no, save from infection to save from death. This was not the case at all, someone will have to account for it, if the image taken as a referent is that of the military trucks carrying the coffins destined for cremation in a funeral column. Anyone can realize this with a simple comparison between the current number of deaths from Covid with respect to the population of 2020, for the United Kingdom (157,938 out of 67.22 million); Italy (147,320 out of 59.55 million), France (132,583 out of 67.39 million), Germany (118,139 out of 83.24 million), Spain (93,857 out of 47.35 million).

Only the United Kingdom is ahead of us, but apart from the approximately nine million more population, it must be added that the cost paid by personal freedom was much lower, which of course in a country like ours, perpetually tempted by a lonely man in charge, he was not at all kept in mind, with the deafening slogan that this freedom can be coerced whenever it is decided from above, on the basis of presumed public health, without taking on any reasonableness and proportionality.

Exhausted the euphoria for the confirmation of the President of the Republic, who will be remembered not as the "exception" but as the "rule" Mattarella, who in any case remains formally endowed with a power, that of the dissolution of the Chambers, whose commitment to not exercising it was the sine qua non for his stay at the Quirinale, certainly a more convenient residence than the chosen house; exhausted this euphoria today, in command there would be that enlightened prince, in short, a Pericles of the twenty-first century, represented by Draghi, given for strength after a bitter defeat, pay attention to this frustrated and pissed off. He intends to put the parties in line – that is the League, which just can't get rid of that authentic Salvini gangster – under the banner of "take it or take it", systematically resorting to the vote of confidence, to which we have become accustomed by now . In fact, a Parliament that has rejected it deserves nothing more. What to say, perhaps relying on the wisdom of the ancients, only that the gods blind those they want to lose.
