What is whispered in the palaces about the extension of the state of emergency
What two center-right newspapers like Giornale e Verità su Draghi, Quirinale and extension of the state of emergency write
The implications, and not even so much, of the extension of the state of emergency at the end of March, coming from the government after the acceleration imposed – clock in hand – by the secretary of the Democratic Party Enrico Letta and suffered, rather than promoted, by the Prime Minister, deduce from the sum or comparison, as you prefer, of the opening titles of two center-right area newspapers: the Giornale della Famiglia Berlusconi directed by Augusto Minzolini and La Verità founded and directed by Maurizio Belpietro, generally more sensitive or pious, always as you prefer to the positions of Matteo Salvini over those, while respected, of Silvio Berlusconi.
Well, the Giornale announces on almost the entire front page that "the state of emergency hinders Draghi al Colle", adding – in what is technically called "bolt" – that Draghi himself thus becomes "increasingly bound to the chair of president of the Advice". Other then, than to run or be run for the Quirinale, perhaps making more explicit his ambition or availability in the traditional press conference at the end of the year of the head of the government, this time perhaps a few days earlier than the last occasions: in particular, before and not after Christmas.
In an extended pandemic emergency – warns the good Minzolini in his editorial, an expert as few in political operations and decryptor of the usually hermetic messages that party leaders exchange – if Draghi will insist on proposing himself or letting himself be proposed to the Quirinale to succeed Sergio Mattarella he will risk "passing his plan more than a need of the country out of a personal whim". And whims are mentioned in the title of the editorial of the Giornale , which is found to some extent – both as a newspaper and as a publisher – in what we could define as a "conflict of interest" in the face of the race to the Quirinale. In which Berlusconi has not officially signed up yet, but it is clearly among all the possible or actual participants the one already most exposed or visible.
In the newspaper La Verità , in line with the name of the newspaper itself, without polemical references to the old newspaper of the Soviet Communist Party, which in Russian was called Pravda , it is more explicitly shouted that "they are keeping us in an emergency to kick Draghi". And he complains about "the usual political use of the virus", perhaps identifying himself with Salvini's moods and so on. Who has just opened his consultations on the race to the Quirinale as leader of both the League and the center-right: role or qualification acquired in 2018 by overtaking Forza Italia in the political elections.
This means – you will ask me – that Salvini does not feel nailed to Berlusconi's candidacy or in any case to the quirinal ambition and reserves, once the impracticability in terms of parliamentary votes necessary for the election has been verified, to seek other solutions to compete decisively. ? Yes, I answer you, It also means this. So much so that on Berlusconi's aforementioned Family Journal , warnings and concerns are raised daily, with multiple signatures, about the strength of the center-right allies, of whom the "buts" that often accompany the commitments or promises to the former are not appreciated Prime Minister. Here is the conclusion of today's editorial by Minzolini already cited in other ways: "The first ones who should in any way prevent the explosion of the centro-right are Salvini and Meloni: if the coalition were to go into crisis, both would fail. the only tool they have at their disposal to get to Palazzo Chigi ". This "tool" is precisely the alliance with Berlusconi: a route which, in the race to the Quirinale, would open up other political and electoral scenarios on the initiative or with the participation of Berlusconi himself.
A good connoisseur a few words, as the old saying goes.
