Mario Draghi, il Fatto Quotidiano and golpemania
What Il Fatto Quotidiano, directed by Marco Travaglio of the Draghi government and beyond, writes
If coup d'état, as we read in the dictionaries of the Italian language, is "the tendency to resolve political contradictions and disputes with a coup d'etat", golpemania – a term ignored by dictionaries – can be understood as the tendency, also, to imagine and denounce a coup, in fact, behind any unwelcome political event or only not shared. It is a carousel always in action in Italian politics, where the most disparate people go down and up even in the race, as in a circus.
As soon as the outline was outlined in the long crisis just closed with the formation of Mario Draghi's government, and only formally opened last month, being in fact creeping already since the autumn of 2020, the murmurs about the usual "powers" began. strong "eager to seize EU funds for the recovery. That they would have been destined for Italy not by a European Union that had finally returned, under the pressure of the pandemic tragedy, to the original spirit of solidarity of its founders, but by the negotiating ability and other virtues of Conte. Also for this reason, and not only for the prizes and increases received, the staff would have given applause of admiration and thanks on leaving Palazzo Chigi.
It is from the issue of that metaphorical check for 209 billion euros signed or guaranteed by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel that “the bad boy scout Matteo Renzi – wrote Massimo Fini in the Fatto Quotidiano , and where else? – he begins to pull the rope and do his sordid job to bring down Conte ", making" those billions appeal to many bankers, financiers, irreproachable people because they dress in suits, have lunch at lunchtime and have dinner at dinner time ". And they often go to mass as good Catholics, as does the director of Fatto Marco Travaglio, to whom the irreverent collaborator reproached for never having had doubts about his "faith", for never having reflected on "the power" he assumed " in recent decades in Italy "by a" Catholicism that has nothing to do with Christianity, that is, with the fascinating borderline of Nazareth ". "Now – concluded Fini – we have a State prisoner of Catholic hypocrisy, of the cat-boy scouts, of the cat-bankers, the one true and only Holy Trinity". The good Fabrizio d'Esposito immediately followed him on the same Done , giving Draghi the “wandering cleric” and the Debenedettian newspaper Domani of the “Jesuit” and the “Ignatian technician”, by Ignazio di Loyola, of course.
Yet, at the beginning of his article, wanting to refer to the famous conviction of Giulio Andreotti that "thinking badly makes you sin, but you almost always get it right", Fini wrote of the late exponent of Italian Catholicism as a man "that for competence, knowledge of Italy, both in the historical and administrative sense, intelligence, wit and style is five spans above the dwarves of today and in any other country he would have been a great statesman, but in Italy he had to be a sort of ircocervo , half a statesman and half, perhaps, a criminal ".
But, in addition to Andreotti's good soul, poor Fini unwittingly found himself in his reasoning, or in his coup, as I said at the beginning, with the super-hated Silvio Berlusconi, convinced that he was ousted from Palazzo Chigi in 2011, he too as Count in this 2021, with a coup d'état.
