What happens between D’Alema, Berlusconi and Draghi on the Quirinale
D'Alema is the bank for Berlusconi against Draghi at the Quirinale? The Scratches of Damato
The "Rieccolo" of this second or third Republic, as you prefer, emulating the Fanfani of the first Montanellian coinage, is the Dalemoni discovered and told by Giampaolo Pansa towards the end of the nineties on Espresso: half Massimo D'Alema and half Silvio Berlusconi. A photomontage of which was also created to better translate the parallel convergences of the two, in the manner of those that prepared the government alliance with Pietro Nenni's socialists at the time of Aldo Moro for the secretariat of the DC.
In the aftermath of Berlusconi's announcement or threat to get his Forza Italia out of the government if Mario Draghi leaves the guide to go up to the Quirinale, what does D'Alema do? He lets himself be interviewed by the manifesto, with the snobbish minuscule of the historic Communist newspaper, to say in harmony with the Knight: “It seems difficult to maintain a large majority without Draghi. It is not an easy task to reach 2023 if the prime minister is elected to the Quirinale ”.
But D'Alema himself had not said, in a New Year's toast with party mates over the internet, even at the cost of embarrassing poor Health Minister Roberto Speranza, plague and political horns of Draghi, a man of international finance little or not at all reconcilable with democracy, which the left would have too easily resigned to entrusting itself to? Yes, he had said so. And in part he also repeated it to the poster, among the usual tormented origami according to the story of the interviewer Andrea Carugati. "In draghism – reads the title of the interview with a lot of quotes – I see an explosion of anti-democratic spirit".
But, despite this, somewhat correcting the shot of the New Year's toast, and ending – I repeat – by finding himself with Berlusconi's assessments and wishes, the surprising D'Alema spoke about the government in office better than Draghi himself did. a few days ago at the press conference on the latest measures taken against the pandemic. “The premier – said the only exponent of the PCI who has so far managed to lead a government in the history of the Republic – effectively carries out his international role by expending his strong credibility, in Brussels and with the United States. On the internal side, it does everything possible with a contradictory and inevitably divided majority, looking for possible compromises. He therefore engages in politics by measuring himself against a reality with respect to which there are no superpowers capable of producing miraculous solutions ”.
If Draghi, having read the poster, has not yet made a phone call to D'Alema to thank him, he has made a mistake. He would do well to correct himself. But perhaps he did not like the implication – but not even so much – of D'Alema's reasoning, which is the same as that of Berlusconi. I'm talking about the implication made explicit by the manifesto in the front page title with this invitation to Draghi: finish your work, naturally at Palazzo Chigi until the ordinary elections of 2023.
