The masks of Draghi told by the newspapers

The masks of Draghi told by the newspapers

How Draghi is interpreted in his latest moves on the EU and tampons by Italian newspapers

Miracle in Rome, this time not in Milan as in the famous drama film by Vittorio De Sica in 1951. Prime Minister Mario Draghi, the former president of the European Central Bank, the one who saved the euro from premature death, the super European that the grillini imagined at the service of the strong, indeed very strong powers, before receiving the counterorder from the comedian founder and guarantor of the 5 Star Movement, at the cost of breaking up and going crazy, he borrowed a vaffa from Grillo … and hurled against the mammasantissima of Brussels and its environs. Who protested against the latest measures adopted in Rome against Covid trafficking, let's call it that, along national borders.

Now we only have to understand, reading the newspapers of various trends, if this miracle of a Draghi suddenly "sovereign", or "patriot", to use the increasingly rampant Giorgia Meloni, who grew up like a mushroom after the rain that fell on last meeting of the Brothers of Italy, we owe it more to Covid and its variants or to the race to the Quirinale. In which the Prime Minister was ex officio enrolled in competition, among others, with a Silvio Berlusconi so sincerely and strongly pro-European that he could compensate himself for the errors, messes and so on of his allies in the center-right, with a lot dash.

The question mark, and in red, that put Libero to the "move for the Hill" attributed, or attributable, to Draghi in his "patriot" clash with the elders of the European Union seems more pleonastic than anything else. And it marries a little, deep down, with the bitterness of an apparently opposite newspaper like Il Fatto Quotidiano . Whose director Marco Travaglio, sadly encouraged by the progress of the pandemic, which could reduce or eliminate the advantage acquired against it by Draghi over his predecessor Giuseppe Conte – "the love of them" of the "factists", let's call them that – commented or teased : “The best of the Best, with 129 dead and 23,000 infected in 24 hours, what's he doing? With an eye on the Colle, think about stopping Omicron at the border with the quarantine for unvaccinated foreigners, as if we didn't have tens of thousands of commuters commuting to Switzerland, France and Austria. If it weren't for crying, it would make us laugh ”.

Fortunately for Draghi, a fugitive from Fact who now directs the new newspaper of Carlo De Benedetti, Domani , that is Stefano Feltri, homonymous and nothing more than father Vittorio and son Mattia, has taken steps to sweeten, let's say, the clash of the president of the Italian Council with the European Union. Surprisingly, the sovereign Draghi would not have it with the latter, but with his "bureaucracy", unable to evaluate the data of the pandemic and the consequent measures imposed on the Italian government.

Not even the newspaper of the Berlusconi family, also perhaps "with an eye on the Hill", as they say in the Fatto Quotidiano , has come to so much understanding and defense of the surprising sovereign Draghi. To the daily newspaper that belonged to Indro Montanelli, they preferred the harsh version of the "swab to whoever enters Italy" which became the "first Draghi-Europe clash", coinciding or in tune – as you prefer – with "the wrath of the center-right on migrants" .

Ah. I repeat, what strange effects I do not know if more than Covid – this perfidious enemy who combines it with all colors, even in the face of General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo and his medal table on his chest – or of a race at the Quirinale that also deforms the cobblestones on which it takes place.
