Why Draghi rejoices
SuperMario's revenge with Istat and International Monetary Fund numbers. The comment by Francesco Damato
Of course, neither Giuseppe Conte, to whom not even or above all Beppe Grillo seems to want to forgive the crisis, nor the center-right that ultimately contributed to the fall of the government in order to anticipate the recourse to the polls claimed until the day before only by Giorgia Meloni. But Mario Draghi continues to be the guest of stone, almost the ghost of this exceptionally short and summer election campaign. The numbers, particularly the latest ones from the International Monetary Fund and Istat, speak for themselves in favor of the Prime Minister for what he has done and for what – understood, but not too much – that he could do if a picture of permanent "political uncertainty", as they say or fear at the International Monetary Fund.
Other than "strong discontinuity", change of pace and other amenities of that document in nine points that Conte still boasts of having animatedly presented to Draghi himself, remaining without answers both at Palazzo Chigi and in the Senate, in the debate to verify the imposed majority by the President of the Republic. The government only needed to continue its action until the ordinary term of the legislature, to continue on the path that – we have just learned – allowed in the last month of June to reach the maximum employment since 1977, that is, since it was monitored. as now, equal to 60.1 per cent.
The "impressive recovery" of the Italian economy – always the word of the International Monetary Fund – is as much the pride of Draghi today as the denial of the political trial made to him yesterday by those who wanted his fall, only failing in the attempt, which was nevertheless made behind the scenes but rejected by the head of state, not to let him manage the early elections. Yes, because this too wanted, in particular, Conte and perhaps, underneath, even Berlusconi: immediately remove from the government a Prime Minister too bulky for his international prestige and, with him, ministers not in line with the moods, the projects , the tendencies of their parties and of the more or less magical circles that guide them with a sense of ownership, or courtesan, rather than a political one.
It is certainly not by chance that, having come out with about sixty parliamentarians, the Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio got into the habit of talking about the 5 Star Movement as the “Conte's party”. To which Grillo has just denied first the exceptions to the prohibition of the double mandate, then the heading of the lists and finally the respect of the promised turning point in the statute of not practicing verbal violence in the political debate. The comedian, guarantor and so on has just decided to make his electoral campaign with the album of the stickers of traitors, displaced persons, zombies and sick of the "party disease". Even a tough one like the vice president of the Senate Paola Taverna, determined to "break out" everyone, has somehow dissociated herself by declaring to have "her eye turned only to those who remained in the movement".
In curious competition with Grillo, even on the part of Berlusconi or his loyal or close friends, he preferred to insult rather than criticize those who left Forza Italia, accusing them of "ingratitude", "betrayal" and even dwarfism, in the case of poor Renato Brunetta , hiding behind an old song in which the dwarf complains about the proximity of the heart to the anus. Ah, what the Knight was able to tolerate being said around him about people who were close to him for thirty years or more, also obtaining some parliamentary mandate and mandate, for heaven's sake, but also many insults and annoyances. There are also some co-defendants in his absurd and hallucinating trials, possible only in a stupid judicial system like the Italian one.
To return to the Prime Minister, to what he did and wanted to interrupt or prevent from doing again, the observation made to Corriere della Sera by Emma Bonino on the so-called Draghi agenda, commenting and supporting clarity, or the less possible confusion, claimed by Carlo Calenda in the electoral negotiations with the secretary of the Democratic Party Enrico Letta. Of which Bonino was appreciated as Foreign Minister in 2013 but who "for more than three years has not spun, taken by an all-encompassing attraction for the Five Stars", complained perhaps the best known Italian politics in the world.
“For us – said Bonino – the Draghi agenda was not for the next five months but for the next five years. If we refer to it, to give concrete examples, we cannot oppose the installation of two floating regasifiers, because it is an energy security issue. So on the waste-to-energy plant in Rome, which is in unacceptable conditions for waste. We are also with Draghi on citizenship income: do not cancel it but reform it. Not a program, but a few clear things ". And consequent candidacies at least in the single-member coalition constituencies, as was ultimately agreed.
