What will Mattarella say to Draghi
Thoughts and whispers from the Quirinale di Mattarella on the government crisis after the no of the 5 Star Movement to Draghi
More than naked, as Il Giornale represents it in the front page title, or wrapped, as in Marcello Sorgi's comment on the first page of the Press , with his decision to deny trust in the government by not letting the grillini participate in the single vote in the Senate on the “Aid” decree. already not voted in the Chamber in a separate ballot, Giuseppe Conte ended up like a fly in an overturned glass. That nobody really seems to have the desire to turn over to free her.
The former Prime Minister, heavily accused by the Secretary of the Democratic Party Enrico Letta of having fired a pistol shot at Mario Draghi's government similar to the one that resulted in the First World War in Sarajevo, is now the widely recognized responsible for the break in course. “Conte opens the crisis”, headlined La Stampa . “M5S opens the crisis”, Il Messaggero .
While trying to overturn the responsibilities, taking it out on the Prime Minister represented in a tug-of-war with Conte, after a photomontage in which the two were boxers with lots of gloves, even the director of Fatto Quotidiano could not escape the obligation to to define "scenes from an asylum" those of the crisis: an asylum in which, in any case, the former Prime Minister, much esteemed and supported by Marco Travaglio, has moved and also moves.
In the speech delivered to the parliamentarians of what remains of his movement, Conte, also back from a phone call with Draghi, came to attribute the merit of the month-end decree anticipated by the Prime Minister to the trade unions, in the wake of the "discontinuity" and the " change of pace ”asked by the predecessor with a document in nine points. But not even this alleged, sensational success has induced Conte to stop the race towards the refusal of trust.
And now what will the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella do? they all ask. To which the quirinalist of the Corriere della Sera Marzio Breda responded in some way, writing, verbatim: “It can only be assumed that, in the hypothesis of a Draghi crippled by the test of trust in Palazzo Madama, the president sends him back to the Chambers. But – mind you – not as proof of appeal by the coalition to mend a fabric that has just been torn in extremis, but to force the parties to solemnly assume their responsibilities in front of the country. By publicly expressing their respective positions, without the tactical masking and continuous raises we have witnessed ”.
“Then, in case, Mattarella – wrote the Corriere quirinalist – will start consultations with the political forces and, numbers in hand, will make a decision. On which hangs a question mark: asking Mario Draghi for a new sacrifice? ”. Continuing – we would still ask ourselves – with the current government, in the presumption of a contradictory permanence of the grillini, or with another, the so-called Draghi bis?
But even these questions Marzio Breda himself had answered himself at the beginning of the correspondence from the Quirinale, denying the "rumor" recurring "for a couple of days at Montecitorio" according to which Mattarella "would have said to Mario Draghi:" Whatever happen, you don't move from Palazzo Chigi… Are we understood? ”.
"An intimation – reads the article by Breda – that does not fall within the lexicon of Mattarella, a man for whom the culture of complexity (and this is an extremely complex phase) is combined with that of mediation (which does not require pressing so brutal). In short, it is an “unlikely” phrase, they burst out at the Quirinale, wrinkling their noses. They are not completely wrong, if only because this prime minister has shown that he wants to decide on his own, and without guardians, his own destiny ”.
Which Conte evidently did not take into account, ending up – I repeat – like a fly under a glass.
