Renzi, Draghi and that dragon Bisignani
What Draghi has in mind and what Bisignani wrote. Francis Walsingham's letter
Dear director,
a friend already in the Services and also a member of P2 (don't worry, director, I wasn't even a member of a bowling club) and therefore a friend of Luigi Bisignani (don't worry, director, I don't even know him) sent me an article from the Roman newspaper Il Tempo (hurray for WhatsApp which also makes people read scraps of a newspaper here in the North that even retired soldiers in the capital no longer read) written precisely by Bisignani, who I don't know how to define: journalist?, lobbyist?, communicator?, writer?, piduist ?, essayist?, dedicated to his very personal affairs?, a dragon who plows politics and business?, oh well.
The article contains phrases that will remain in the history of ridicule ("The Center represents first of all a concept of life"), blunders that not even the last of Tempo 's political chroniclers would write (i.e. that Domenico Fisichella, notoriously among the founders of Alleanza National and never a member of Forza Italia, he was part of the Berlusconi circle with Tremonti, Martino and Urbani) and highly salivating licks ("Matteo Renzi is the most Machiavellian of Italian politicians" as well as the only one – I add – to give strings to the daring denunciations of the Bisignani-Madron duo ) wanted to launch this news (?) which is perhaps above all a message in a bottle useful to Bisignani to continue cultivating relations between politics and state and non-state companies: "If Draghi emerged for the Centre" .
A "news" which, since it is contained not in a real article but in a letter (because Bisignani was removed from the journalists' association) is equivalent to any nonsense that can be said at any aperitif: that is, any bullshit for get it.
The beauty – or the ridiculousness – is that the beatification of Draghi which characterizes Bisignani's thought clashes with the past writings of Bisignani himself – yes, Bisignani's friend always sends me the articles of the former Piduist – when the non-journalist spat out gall on Draghi, Draghiism and Draghi supporters (in particular Francesco Giavazzi) making the Conte, Conti and pro-Conti supporters go into raptures à la Marco Travaglio, for example.
So Bisignani's new epistles are perfect: it beatifies Renzi and (apparently) slurs Draghi. Thus putting ourselves in the journalistic wake of some true facts: on the one hand Draghi's speech in the British weekly The Economist on the future of Europe and on the other the dinner in the fish restaurant " Ai piani ", in the Parioli district (a place made purposely to get noticed, a friend who regularly frequents the restaurant tells me) with Luigi Zanda.
But it's a phony slur, my friend who knows Bisignane's mind tells me: Bisignani wants to give Draghi a party-political connotation to burn him in advance in the case of a bipartisan project cultivated by the former president of the ECB.
In short, a surreptitious and oblique way to play footsie with Giorgia Meloni, with whom Bisignani is unable to have good relations: it is no coincidence that Bisignani's associate, Paolo Madron, with whom he wrote a successful book, complained on social media more or less conspiracy-mindedly and conspiracy-wise against “Giorgia” for the fact that two ministers of the Meloni government (Piantedosi and Crosetto) did not participate in the presentation of their book after having agreed to present it.
Dear director, I realize that we are discussing trifles and trifles – as you sometimes say – but since Bisignani often pontificates on TV too, then it is also a good idea to provide some healthy counter-information on the interested pirouettes of a typical example of Roman palaces.
Best regards
Francis Walsingham
