Who is plotting against Draghi at the Quirinale

Who is plotting against Draghi at the Quirinale

Is Draghi eager to go to the Quirinale or are there too many who live this eventuality as an obsession? The Scratches of Damato

Mario Draghi's obsession has now become an obsession, willing, indeed eager, even though he never said anything about it, to be elected to the Quirinale in the place of Sergio Mattarella. It is an obsession that unites right and left, Silvio Berlusconi and Goffredo Bettini , who has also just come out in the open in the Democratic Party, where he is an open-air oracle, sharing the concerns of the Knight for the fate of the country, and not only of the current government majority, in the event that a change of the guard at Palazzo Chigi should provoke a crisis. Or in any case a new season of instability when the pandemic has not yet been overcome and a vast program for recovery also financed by the European Union needs to be implemented.

Even the well-known and influential Financial Time s intervened to advise Draghi to be cautious, earning a satisfied title, of genuine relief, in the Journal of the Berlusconi family, albeit ruined by a gaffe such as defining the warning that came from the "markets" ". By now, the "danger" of a transfer of Draghi to the Quirinale has been removed, obviously assuming that the Prime Minister will not dare to go against so much and this line-up, despite the forecasts made by his wife to a bartender that he may have to move precisely to the Colle , for lovers of Berlusconi's candidacy at the top of the state there remains only the obsession – here we go again – of a rethinking of Mattarella in front of the encore invoked with six minutes of applause in the Milanese La Scala theater: an encore not surprisingly ignored, or censored , yesterday in the headline of the newspaper .

The persistence of worries about Mattarella's rethinking after all the no already expressed by him at the confirmation is betrayed by this ending of today's editorial by the editor of the newspaper , Augusto Minzolini: "The continuous attempt to pull Mattarella by the jacket, to tear him a yes not at all convinced to stay, it looks so much like violence. A behavior that is certainly not the son of love for institutions, but responds more to the need to safeguard party interests. And, after all, it is also a lack of regard for that heartfelt and spontaneous parting applause that the Scala audience reserved for Mattarella, interpreting the sentiment of the country ".

The "party interests" indicated by Minzolini would be those above all of the Democratic Party, given the belief or the hope, according to taste, which is spreading among Berlusconi's loyalists that Giuseppe Conte underneath, despite the public outings against the candidacy of the former Prime Minister, on the other hand considered insufficient even by the unsuspected Fatto Quotidiano , where they have repeatedly prodded him into a more clear-cut and even offensive position, he too may be tempted by help, or help the Knight. It is no coincidence that Il Giornale , also the family newspaper , announced today in a "bolt" under the opening title: Conte: "Berlusconi has created a modern right". Let alone now by which earshot Marco Travaglio will be tempted against the president of the 5 Star Movement, still today described in the Fact as the most popular politician in Italy, even if, for fear of some nasty surprise, he has just refused the candidacy for deputy offered to him in Rome, for the supplementary dates of January 16, by the secretary of the Pd Enrico Letta.
