Because I see Draghi more perky after Di Maio’s tear

Because I see Draghi more perky after Di Maio's tear

Draghi's latest moves seen by the political notist Francesco Damato

It will be a coincidence – contrary to the crime vision, as we will see, of Giuseppe Conte's fans – but since the split of the 5 Star Movement by the Foreign Minister, which caused his former team to lose the relative majority in Parliament , Prime Minister Mario Draghi moves with more decision and confidence, both internationally and internally.

On the international level, also favored by a busy agenda and first-hand information, Draghi has just challenged Putin by announcing the downgrading of participation in the next G20, which will take place in Mali in the autumn. It was from an Indonesian source that he had learned that the head of the Kremlin will receive an invitation to intervene at a distance, mercilessly translated into a “scanned” by a cartoon on the 19th century.

Putin, whose ferocity in the war on Ukraine is continually denounced by Draghi in support of the belief that he must not be allowed to win; Putin, I said, did not like and challenged the Italian prime minister in turn by saying that he will not be the one to decide on his penalizing physical absence from the G20. We will see. Meanwhile Draghi has conquered the front pages.

Also on the international level, the hand of Palazzo Chigi is noticeable even in the negotiations that took place successfully behind the scenes to remove, on the occasion of the NATO summit in Madrid, the Turkish veto on the accession of Sweden and Finland to the Atlantic alliance. To whose forces, moreover, Italy is preparing to increase its contribution bringing it to 10 thousand men.

Internally, while aware of the clash that his decision will entail with Giuseppe Conte and what is left of the 5 Stars, Draghi has drawn the operational consequences from his repeated and public opinions expressed – also in Europe – against the so-called building bonus of the facades, lent itself to an impressive amount of scams and waste. It has been announced that there will be no extensions, although supported by the former prime minister.

The mystery vision of all this, which was mentioned at the beginning, is the one proposed by the Fatto Quotidiano , based on information received from the sociologist Domenico De Masi, who in turn would have obtained them directly from Beppe Grillo, about a request by Draghi himself to the " guarantor ”of the 5 Star MoVement of“ killing Conte ”. This would also explain the decision by which, as soon as he arrived in Rome for his reconnaissance mission and order after the split made by the Foreign Minister, Grillo would have communicated his opposition to a government crisis, or – as you prefer – his strong support for Draghi. From whose ministerial team – the guarantor would later specify in the face of the discontent of many parliamentarians – the movement could also withdraw, but without also leaving the majority and moving to the opposition.

In truth, news similar to that of the Fatto Quotidiano on Draghi's pressure against Conte, presumably revealed by Grillo himself talking to the pentastellated parliamentarians, were collected and relaunched, albeit less sensationally than the newspaper of Marco Travaglio, by the newspaper La Stampa in an article by the habitually informed Federico Capurso. However, he describes Grillo's approach to his interlocutors in the Roman mission in this way, but perhaps more generally, whenever he finds himself talking about politics, as in a continuation of his ancient profession as a comedian: "He listens, nods, but as if the character, after all, was that of the showman: he does not want to upset his audience. It offers everyone the answer they ask for ”. He may have done it, perhaps, also with Draghi, and with the sociologist De Masi.
