We bet on the Mattarella bis?
Who, how and why pushes for Mattarella's encore at the Quirinale. The Scratches of Damato
If Sergio Mattarella had made an appointment with the doctor due to the now unbearable ringing in his ears, despite being taken by packaging and other things for the long-desired return home, it would be better for him to cancel it because it would be a wasted visit. He is not sick. He is just besieged by a political situation, with particular reference to the race for his succession to the Presidency of the Republic, which pushes more and more people, parties, currents and newspapers to think and focus on confirmation, despite himself.
It does not matter now for what reason – from the belief that re-election is now the easiest way to stop Silvio Berlusconi's candidacy to the fear that Mario Draghi at the Quirinale opens the way to an insoluble government crisis – but it also increases in the palaces of Pasolini's memory. the desire, the temptation and so on of the so-called Mattarella bis.
Already a few days ago, in an interview with the newspaper Domani , the quirinalist of Corriere della Sera Marzio Breda said that he had "collected an eloquent silence" from the questions he asked "above" on the possibility that "the political framework was going to pulp and the parties were demonstrating not to have a shred of agreement, and therefore the scene of 2013 would be repeated, when all the leaders made a procession "to the Hill, convincing Giorgio Napolitano to be confirmed. The "eloquent silence" meant I don't know if more fear or resignation. What is certain is that Breda himself recognized that "freezing the Mattarella-Draghi tandem would be the most convenient solution and also the one probably most useful to the country".
The newspaper of Carlo De Benedetti that collected these words of Breda has today headlined on the entire front page summarizing the political information: "The plans of the Democratic Party and Five Stars to build the Mattarella bis". And La Stampa , which De Benedetti himself recently indicated as the newspaper he trusts most after his: “A Mattarella bis plan with Salvini's go-ahead”. Which then marches in its own way, so to speak, with the other components of the center-right for the heralded candidacy of Berlusconi, who has returned to Rome – the news say – to monitor the allies more closely and, more generally, the situation.
The other newspapers are no less. The Mattarella bis is re-proposed, in particular, by the Messaggero who underlines the commitment of Enrico Letta; from the Foglio , which even involves Giuseppe Conte in an anti-Letta function, evidently still firm in the temptation to help the election of Draghi , and from Libero with the “Spiraglio Mattarella” opened above all by the pandemic emergency.
Even the newspaper of the Berlusconi family had to own the Mattarella bis by taking it out on the secretary of the Democratic Party, who would have thrown "the mask", and betting on the ability or will of Dario Franceschini to "plot" for some complication. Let's not talk about the disappointment or concern of the Fatto Quotidiano , among the first to take sides against the encore and to incite Mattarella to swear at those who proposed it to him. Now Marco Travaglio with his cartoonist Riccardo Mannelli has wore the outgoing president of the Republic as a woman to joke mockingly about the possibility that he will end up being persuaded to stay a little longer at the Quirinale, at least waiting for the new Chambers. Compared to which those about to expire, in 2023, are a half scrap practically recognized a few days ago on Repubblica also by the constitutionalist Michele Ainis.
