How Draghi shows the stars (with gentleness) to Di Maio
What Mario Draghi does and says in foreign policy. The Scratches of Damato
Mario Draghi returning from Cornwall and Brussels, fresh from the G7 and the NATO summit, is physically the same as before, of course. Even the ideas have remained the same, since the convinced Atlanticism of the Prime Minister is not known but very well known, moreover he expressed clearly and proudly by presenting himself to the Chambers to ask for and obtain trust. But it's a slightly different Draghi for grillini.
They may pretend nothing has happened, casual as many of them have become in changing alliances, concepts and words, but they will not be able to escape now the consequences of the commitments made internationally by the head of the government in what not only the Republic in recent days, presenting the G7 on the front page, but even today the manifesto , referring to the NATO summit, defined the "new cold war", after the one with the USSR. Now Putin's Russia has taken the place of the dissolved Soviet Union and China has become an opponent of the West perhaps even more insidious and feared than Moscow for what Draghi also defined or recognized as "systemic challenges to the international order".
The Draghi returning from his meeting with the new president of the United States, relieved by the end of the era of his predecessor Donald Trump, is certainly not the Count who managed to achieve his second government in the summer of 2019, unloading the League and embarking the Pd, because also strong of the encouragement received from the then tenant of the White House, until the name was doubled with the now famous and somewhat ridiculous “Giuseppi”.
Di Maio himself will have to deal with the Draghi who proposed to "examine" the agreement with China on the so-called "Silk Road" signed with pride in 2019 by the then Minister of Economic Development Luigi Di Maio who is now foreign minister. He has both cunningly and unsuccessfully tried to keep the point in the recent interview with the Press, deferring to the judgment that the Italian companies, large and small, which have benefited from it, can and will give of that agreement. As if that agreement had been and was only of a commercial nature, without political implications and effects, which now should at least be deepened. And I don't think just Beppe Grillo with another three-hour meeting with the Chinese ambassador in Rome, after the very recent one he had ventured to invite the new head designated of the 5 Star Conte Movement, who escaped at the last moment understanding alone – hopefully – the problems he could have caused in his new role to the government majority.
Regarding the latter, as regards the MoVement being refounded, Conte cannot think that the “irreplaceable” Grillo, whom he accepted as such in his home, feels or can be perceived as a "guarantor". "A man, a guarantee", joked Mattia Feltri writing about it in the Stampa and the Secolo XIX after having listed all the orders and counter-orders under the 5 Stars issued or accepted by the Genoese comedian in the first three years of this varied and very unique legislature. Which is, or should be, different from a theater or marquee show.
