Draghi, the Quirinale and presidentialism
Conversation of Lodovico Festa with Mariagrazia Longoni, organizational manager of the political training school of the Lega, starting with "Draghi or chaos – The great disintegration of Italy: is there a way out?", The new book by Festa e Sapelli. The series "Party Dialogues on Dragons or chaos" continues on Startmag
“In the reflections we make in the book Draghi o il chaos – The great disintegration of Italy: is there a way out? we notice a certain difficulty in the new generations in having a relationship with politics as happened in the First Republic ”, begins Lodovico Festa, author of the book together with Giulio Sapelli.
"We can speak of the disintegration of society without a shadow of a doubt because what has been happening for some years now is the ever greater distance, perhaps unbridgeable, between the real world and politics" underlines Mariagrazia Longoni. "Inability of politics to be able to give a critical reading to what actually happens in people's lives".
There is a big gap, politicians may now speak an incomprehensible language ”, points out Longoni a Festa. "Talk shows and debates are now a live scuffle, for those on this side of fencing it is anachronistic, far from reality".
Therefore "politics must return" remarks Longoni. "We are in a phase in which there is the optimism of stupidity and the sloth of pessimism," says Festa, "the essential thing that political subjects must explain is that politics must return".
“It would be appropriate to open a constituent climate because on all fields (federalism, judiciary, presidentialism) the old constitutional structure no longer stands and we see it with the role of the President of the Republic, but also of Parliament and the executive. Now the discussion on different speed Regions is resuming – notes Festa – needs a cultural and political discussion. First of all, facing south ".
“The pandemic emergency has in fact highlighted how much the competences of the State and those of the Regions have experienced complicated days because it was not clear who should intervene and when” pointed out Longoni.
In conclusion, speaking of contradictions, “we are about to go and elect the future head of state and the Parliament that will be elected – reduced in number – will on the one hand retain the same representatives of the Chamber and Senate and on the other hand the same regional delegates will remain. It will be one of the aspects that will have to be addressed ”concluded Longoni.
