Renzi wins, for now. Count goodbye, Draghi arrives

So much thundered that Draghi arrived. In the end, the respective rigidities of the two parties, PD and Cinquestelle on the one hand and Italia Viva on the other, played the game of Renzi and brought to the end the Conte II government:

Nobody will regret his very little respect for substantial democracy, or his nocturnal sermons to unified networks. Few will fondly remember Casalino's phenomenal ideas for communication. We hope that Azzolina will go back to being a head teacher and Bonafede will be a lawyer, if she can. Apart from a few handfuls of maintained these figures will not be regretted, and we hope they are followed by the bad Gualtieri.

Now Mario Draghi arrives. In just over three hours he will be at the Quirinale to receive the assignment. Of course, it is forbidden to talk about voting with the President who also invents the boom in cases in the countries where he voted, when in the two European countries that just went to the polls, Romania in December and Portugal a few days ago, these phenomena were not witnessed. The problem of the timing of the electoral campaign and the formation of the new government is more realistic, but sooner or later we will have to face them, or will we ignore it forever?

Having said this, Draghi arrives with the “Government of the best”. Usually it should be the sovereign people who decide who are the best. We have a technical government which, we hope, will not be a copy of the bad Monti government. If Monti was the signatory of the MES, the one who got it approved, Draghi was the one who, objectively, sent him into retirement with the “Whatever it takes”.

Draghi's problem will not be having a majority, just any one: the old red-yellow will support him and probably Forza Italia could also vote in favor. But if your government really wants to be a government of the best, it cannot fail to have the support of the center-right in its Lega and Fratelli d'Italia components. Without at least external support, the support of Forza Italia will always be partial and in danger. The first blow to what was the relative majority party was brought by support for the Monti government, with the Lega in opposition, and the centrists would melt like snow in the sun without a large majority. It will not be very easy to convince Salvini and Meloni at least to a good-natured position. This will only be possible with a lot of diplomacy and with a program that is clearly different from that of the M5s and PD

Now our congratulations to the deputies of the Five Star Movement who, in three years, will be able to vote for a government with the League, sovereign, a super Europeanist, with the PD, and now a technical one. Congratulations to the movement, truly willing to vote anything to keep the cadrega.
