The disagreements in the Democratic Party, in the League and in M5s only tickle Draghi
What is said in the government majority between deeds, words and chatter. The Scratches of Damato
Beyond, far beyond the sarcastic representation made by the nostalgics of Giuseppe Conte on the front page of the newspaper directed by Marco Travaglio, in which Mario Draghi and Matteo Salvini laugh at everything and everyone, even themselves, in the " pantomime ”of the parliamentary path of the decree law on the green pass, the political situation evolves according to the anomalous scheme adopted by the President of the Republic at the end of the last government crisis. And shared by an overwhelming majority – let's not forget – by the Chambers, giving their confidence to the Draghi government.
It is thanks to this scheme, imposed by the various types of emergencies scrupulously listed by the head of state in personally announcing the decision not to dissolve the political knots with an early recourse to the polls discouraged by the danger that the vote would turn into an opportunity further contagion in full pandemic; it is thanks to this scheme, I said, that Salvini can disagree on the modalities of the green pass, allow his parliamentarians to present a lot of amendments to a provision approved by his ministers at Palazzo Chigi, to have them equally casually withdraw in order not to oblige Draghi to impose it with recourse to the so-called question of trust and finally leave its deputies free to abstain or to vote by way of demonstration, that is harmless, on some amendments of the right-wing opposition of Giorgia Meloni, her competitor in the center-right electoral alliance. These amendments were in fact all rejected, so the government's position resulting from the choices and provisions of the Prime Minister prevailed.
I frankly find it useless to be scandalized too much in front of this "pantomime", as they call it – I repeat – at the Fatto Quotidiano, when one is not scandalized, or one less scandalized, in front of a secretary of the Democratic Party who claims a yes day and the other also a steel discipline of the majority – like the pact of the same name by Mussolini and Hitler – and has nothing, or almost nothing, to say to his party colleague Goffredo Bettini, treated at the Nazarene as a kind of licensed oracle unlimited, that the Draghi government is not “ours”, but evidently that of others, even though it has ministers, undersecretaries, advisers, consultants, etc., etc., down all the branches of the so-called sub-government. We are not talking about the aforementioned Count regretted by Travaglio and his companions or friends, who has just conditioned "loyalty" in relations with the Prime Minister, that is, with his successor, to respect for vetoes and pentastellated moods.
The truth, in the anomalous situation in which politics finds itself due to the disproportionate weight the grillini had with Conte, is the one described today in Corriere della Sera by professor Ernesto Galli della Loggia, writing about Draghi as an all-Italian edition of the phenomenon De Gaulle of the Fifth French Republic, “came to power due to an unpredictable combination of events”. Draghi – explained Galli della Loggia – "does not govern without or against the majority" who trusted him in Parliament. It governs thanks to an "implicitly presupposed" majority, in the sense that "the parties that make it up", beyond their tactics, "voluntarily accept the ineffectiveness of their eventual dissent". Well said, professor.
