I’ll tell you the latest news on the Quirinale media carousel
Facts, names and rumors about the Quirinale. The Graffii of Damato
Although ignored by his usual admirer Marco Travaglio, once so dissident from the best Prime Minister who, according to him, would have had Italy in its republican history, before being stabbed by friends at the beginning of this tragic year, luckily for the end, Giuseppe Conte's campaign for a woman at the Quirinale continues. Which, however, has seen him engaged in the last 24 hours in a dense series of meetings, all or mainly in his own political area, under the five grill stars. Where evidently Travaglio still manages to provoke emotions, so to speak, which the lawyer who presides over the Movement must take into account.
I don't know if more surprised or alarmed by the unexciting reactions to the first female candidates attributed to him – by Elisabetta Belloni, Letizia Moratti and Paola Severino, in strictly alphabetical order – Conte has started to cultivate other names, always trying to find one that is not or not too much. divisive, as they say in these circumstances. And the indiscretion emerged, collected in particular by the Foglio , very attentive – as we will see – to the succession to Sergio Mattarella, on the launch of the candidacy of the constitutional judge Silvana Sciarra. In addition to being Apulian like Conte, born 73 years ago in Trani, she was lucky enough to be elected by the Chambers to the Consulta in 2014, in the twenty-first strictly secret ballot, by a majority in some way anticipating the current one, or almost: extended from the grillini to the force supporters, from the PD then led by Matteo Renzi, then also prime minister, to at least a part of the leaguers. The professor of labor law had, in particular, 630 votes out of 748. The lady was not, and is not grillina, but the pentastellati parliamentarians voted for her in exchange for the votes guaranteed by the Democratic Party and other parties to one of their candidates for the Superior Council of the Judiciary.
Seen in the light of the political situation of this end of the year, with an almost analogous majority – I repeat – that risks falling apart with the male candidates that have emerged so far from the news and from the stables, that election must have appeared to Conte legendary, premonitory and I don't know what else.
The newspaper, as I was saying, which first or most collected this indiscretion on Silvana Sciarra as candidate for the Colle is Il Foglio by Giuliano Ferrara, founder and Claudio Cerasa as director, both of whom are firm in favor of Mario Draghi. Which could serve the country better for seven years at the Quirinale than for just over a year at Palazzo Chigi. And to which – they always hope to the Foglio – even his friend and now competitor Silvio Berlusconi could end up lending a hand with a nice gesture of renunciation, perhaps after a few parliamentary votes to taste his protagonism.
"Before even thinking about the theme" it would take a woman ", the most inexperienced leaders and desperate for strategies for the future – wrote Cerasa, reinforcing the epistolary irony of Michael the Great – should think about another refrain that is always vendetta: there he would like a friend, to be able to advise you a little ".
Giuliano Ferrara, for his part, taking the opening of the newspaper has relaunched the campaign for Draghi at the Quirinale with an article almost as long as the title, so to speak, painted in blue. Which says, verbatim, in continuity with articles from previous days on the cloying polemic of constitutionalists and politicians against the surreptitious presidentialism in which we would find ourselves for some time: "Dear parties, if you don't want Draghi al Quirinale it's fine, but don't make us laugh with the excuse of democratic defense by man alone in command. Draghi is not a solitary adventurer who is an enemy of political parties and the fear of authoritarian risk is funny ”. It is a repetitive laugh that my friend Giuliano would like to avoid.
