Who, how and why locks Draghi at Palazzo Chigi
What Draghi says and what he does amidst the shocks of the government majority. The Scratches of Damato
On the political level, more than the new measures adopted by the Council of Ministers to deal with the high bills and all the other difficulties that have fallen on the less well-off classes and on companies as a result of the war in Ukraine unleashed by Putin, the countermeasures practically announced by President Mario are valid. Draghi to protect the government above all from the destabilization of the 5 Star Movement. Whose president Giuseppe Conte, forcing Draghi to anticipate the return to Rome from the NATO summit in Madrid, where Italy was represented in the final part by Defense Minister Lorenzo Guerini, took for good rumors, indiscretions, authentic scoops or presumed by Fatto Quotidiano on pressure exerted by the Prime Minister on Beppe Grillo to " get him out ". And also eliminate the movement from the government by taking advantage of its numerical irrelevance in Parliament after the split by Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio.
There are, in truth, even leagues fibrillations in the majority, in the common illusion with Conte that a passage to the opposition in the final phase of the legislature can reduce the risks of further, serious electoral losses. Draghi's countermeasures could therefore also apply to Salvini.
Strongly evidently from a meeting he had on his return to Rome with the President of the Republic, with whom it is assumed that he agreed on the way to deal with the grillina destabilization, Draghi assured that in the house of exit of the pentastellati from the government either to go to the opposition or to support him from the outside, he will not pretend nothing has happened. It will not do so as far as parliamentary numbers would allow it, after the parliamentary groups are no longer those with a relative majority due to Di Maio's exodus. and friends. Therefore, the resignation of the Prime Minister and the other ministers, that is the crisis, would necessarily follow. The role of the movement led by Conte remains too relevant to do without it or only to reduce its participation in the majority with external support.
Here, however, the good news, the appreciations, the acknowledgments and anything else for Conte end, who already could or should have been cheered up by the contradictions opposed by both Draghi and Grillo to the indiscretions, revelations and so on about the pressures of one on more against the president of the 5 Star Movement. And instead the bad news began, coming from Draghi himself and from the secretary of the Pd Enrico Letta speaking yesterday to the leadership of his party. Both have said that this in office is "the last government of the legislature". The opening of a crisis would lead straight to the dissolution of the Houses and early elections. The hypothesis of practically delayed elections in May next year would fall, despite the fact that the legislature can ordinarily be considered concluded in March.
Already in agitation over the somewhat suicidal reduction of parliamentary seats and the statutory limit and even identifying the limit of the two mandates, the deputies and senators who remained in the Conte Movement, and the guarantor Grillo, would feel even more in a trap if the elections were brought forward. And Conte would personally condemn himself to the end of his political adventure.
Draghi will also be the "technician" reductively described by his predecessor, reproaching him for having interfered in the internal affairs of the 5 Stars, or what is left of it, but he is not politically naive. Not at all, and moreover firmly supported by the head of state, the only depositary of the power of early dissolution of the chambers.
