Who wants to cripple Draghi?
The Scratches of Damato
With an amount of patience, but also a certain political professionalism that is surprising – they say at Palazzo Chigi and its surroundings – even family members and friends of well-established attendance, Mario Draghi has decided to quietly wait for the first round of the administrative elections. He wants to allow the not at all quiet parties of his vast majority to compete in the polls, in the hope that they will then give themselves what in Rome they call "a regulated".
Having escaped a parliamentary vote on the war in Ukraine before the European Council at the end of May, when Giuseppe Conte already wanted to test him with an explicit no to further military aid in Kiev after the Russian aggression, Draghi himself will seek a vote in the Chambers before the next European Council, scheduled for June 23, after the exhaustion of the first administrative electoral round of 12.
It will then be seen if Salvini and a little bit Berlusconi too, who has just returned to the front pages of the newspapers for his serial trials titled "Ruby", will still have a great desire to compete with the pacifism practiced by Conte, and if they will still have a lot of it. Count himself. Who knows he is expected at the ballot tests not only by Draghi but also in his movement. Where it is no coincidence that the Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio immediately protested against the treasurer of the 5 Stars, Senator Claudio Cominardi, an old acquaintance of the clerks for the liveliness of his behavior in the classroom, having relaunched for Instagram a graffiti against Draghi on the leash of the American president Joe Biden. "That image is unacceptable", said the minister directly urging Conte to "distance himself from it".
Faced with this clash at home, the guarantor, elevated and more, Beppe Grillo , recently also appeared tired or repentant of the support for Draghi, returned to stand at the window dusting off an old article from last February on his blog. In which he warned that the revolutionary nature of the pentastellates was "called to pass from youthful ardor to maturity, without denying the roots but identifying more structured paths to achieve the design". Grillo also evidently wants to see if and how badly the movement now led by the former prime minister will come out of the administrative polls in June.
On the other hand, with the heart always thrown beyond the obstacle, the usual Labor on the equally usual Fatto Quotidiano has already begun to celebrate a crisis of Draghi and his claim – he wrote – to dictate the line to the parties rather than suffer it, never having put himself to the test of I vote personally, promoted to Prime Minister by Mattarella endorsing a half-plot or even a "Conticide", the title of a book by Travaglio himself. Who thus concluded his reflections today on the consistency of Conte's successor: “It will be enough to consult the map to discover that Draghi is not even the capital”. Yet Conte was unable to place one of his candidates, in agreement with the Democratic Party, in any of the less important capitals or municipalities where voting will take place on 12 June and predictably on 26 for the second round.
In curious but not unprecedented harmony with the Daily Newspaper , the Berlusconi family newspaper also bets on the weakness of Draghi rather than Conte, describing the prime minister at a dramatic "crossroads" with this title that speaks for itself: "Save the man who had to save the 'Italy". For once Travaglio will have recognized himself feeling at the Giornale, as in the days when he worked there with Montanelli in a very critical version with the publisher, to the point of telling him – between 1993 and 1994 – not to go into politics, even if on anti-communist positions that had been his.
