Does Mattarella freeze his fans?
Mattarella was quick to announce that he had set a visit to the Pope for his "farewell" as President of the Republic. The Scratches of Damato
Sergio Mattarella responded in his own way to those in public and in private who continue to ask him to make himself available for an implicit term re-election at the Quirinale, to remain there until the renewal of the Chambers, in 2023. This would allow the election of his successor to a Parliament more legitimized than this one, which is also expiring, the last one of almost a thousand deputies and senators, against the six hundred set by the constitutional reform wanted by the Grillini.
The extension of the Mattarella presidency would also allow, or above all, according to preferences, the continuation of the Draghi government "at least until 2023", as wished by the secretary of the Democratic Party Enrico Letta amid the anxieties, protests and so on of those who do not see the time to get rid of it. "It is not our government," said the "guru" Piddino Goffredo Bettini, sending the audience into raptures at the feast of the Fatto Quotidiano of which he was a guest.
Already keen to express to a schoolchildren the desire to enjoy the well-deserved "rest" at the end of the seven-year period that began in 2015, Mattarella has now hastened to announce that he has fixed – as the Corriere della Sera headline – the visit to the Pope of "discharge" from President of the Republic. It will take place exactly on December 16th.
Of course, everything could happen from today to December 16 and beyond, even to Chambers already gathered and engaged in voting: even a rethinking of Mattarella, all the political forces prayed in line for a while, as happened with Napolitano in 2013, to make re-elect due to the difficulties encountered in choosing a successor. But for now the unavailability of the outgoing president must be considered confirmed. And it is perhaps no coincidence that this confirmation came after the debate, to say the least, which opened on that kind of French "fifth Republic" glimpsed for Italy by professor Ernesto Galli della Loggia, commenting on the change in relations with parties with the appointment by Mattarella of the Draghi government and then consolidated with the action of the new executive.
Although based on indisputable considerations and facts, the downsizing suffered by the parties, with all their internal convulsions, by the action of a government led with authority and international prestige by the former president of the European Central Bank, is evident, the representation of a fifth Italian Republic born surreptitiously may have embarrassed Mattarella. A re-election of which could strengthen the interpretation of the political and institutional situation expressed by the editor of the most popular Italian newspaper, Corriere della Sera . And that makes the hair stand on end particularly to the nostalgic or to the dreamers of a return of Giuseppe Conte to Palazzo Chigi like Marco Travaglio. Who just today in his newspaper dreams of a crisis caused by a split in the League between Matteo Salvini and Giancarlo Giorgetti. And he complains in the editorial of a kind of collective journalist who “forgives the Draghi government for everything, portraying it apodictically as a brood of phenomena, of which memorable exploits escape. Thus the ministers, by dint of making mistakes without the shadow of a criticism, believe they are infallible. And they are even more wrong ”: from“ Cartabia, Cingolani, Brunetta ”to the“ catastrophic Bianchi, the ectoplasm we call the Minister of Education ”, writes the director of the Fact.
