How and why the name of Draghi rises for the Quirinale
Words, moves and moods on the name of Draghi as president of the Republic. The Scratches of Damato
Despite or perhaps thanks to the counter campaign of the Fatto Quotidiano – as obstinate as Silvio Berlusconi's unfinished race – we are now at the last resistance to Mario Draghi's silent but tenacious climb to the Quirinale. That the secretary of the Democratic Party Enrico Letta supported in the meeting announced with Giuseppe Conte and with the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, gathering the resistance, in fact, of the first and the substantial availability of the second, representing the left now on the way back home, that is to the Nazarene.
But Conte then met prudently with his friend-antagonist Luigi Di Maio who advised him a bit of realism, from his point of view, to the point of inducing him to let it be known that there are no – or no longer exist – pentastellated vetoes against Dragons.
Too late for Marco Travaglio's newspaper to change the front page title , all about the rearguard battle: "Mission unfinished – Draghi stay on board", that is, at Palazzo Chigi, from where he would like to "flee" due to the alleged failure of his vaccination fight against the pandemic.
Even Berlusconi, although he has not yet announced, at least until the time of writing, his renunciation imagined by Stefano Rolli on the 19th century in the role of Pope Francis overlooking St. Peter's Square, would be convincing himself of the opportunity. at this point, to favor a candidacy of Draghi. "Only he at the Hill if I give up", the Messaggero attributes to him on the front page, also attributing to him "the request" of "Gianni Letta general secretary of the Quirinale", unlike Repubblica which instead gives the former undersecretary of Berlusconi on the front page even for the Presidency of the Republic.
Frankly, considering also the 86 years that the person concerned, who is still older than Berlusconi, is about to turn, both hypotheses seem a bit fanciful. And in any case they deny the discontent attributed in recent days to Berlusconi himself a bit by all the newspapers, without any denial or clarification, for the visit made by his collaborator to Palazzo Chigi before reaching the Villa Grande, on the Appia Antica, for the last summit of the center-right on the race to the Quirinale. No others followed, although one had been announced for today.
It appears that Sergio Mattarella is following the developments of the negotiations or maneuvers behind the scenes a little relieved, which would spare him second thoughts after all the unavailability announced to his confirmation due to force majeure. Barring unforeseen circumstances, of course.
