In a sense, the Prime Minister must also be understood and, at least in part, justified.
At the end of spring two years ago he found himself at the head of a government fruit of an alliance resulting from the Italian electoral elections, but completely disconnected from the international political context, with the head of the most voted party (in addition to a minister of Work and very powerful Work). Economic Development) who dialogues with the yellow vests and the head of the other party (as well as the powerful Minister of the Interior) who goes hand in hand with the deadly enemy right of Macron and Merkel. Therefore, it has to make an immense effort to become a credible partner, inside and outside national borders.
Then, in the spring of this year, he had to face (with another majority, because in the meantime there was a government crisis) the pandemic, a very hard, if formative, government experience.
However, at the end of this two-year period, Giuseppe Conte is a different person compared to the moment he walked through the door of Palazzo Chigi for the first time.
In fact, he is much more solid politically, he is better known internationally (think of the tweet with Donald Trump’s “Giuseppi”), he owns the scene more when he is in public or in front of the media.
In short, President Conte is stronger today than when he started, much stronger.
That is why we understand his anger a bit every time someone mentions the name of Mario Draghi, that is, the most important Italian (institutionally speaking) in the world.
That said, the reasoning carried out yesterday by the prime minister about the former ECB president seems completely out of place, also because (by now we have learned it) Conte does not speak at random.
That is to say, it is surprising that the statement that our head of government had probed Draghi to hypothesize a leading role for the EU and the fact that yesterday he remembered the episode (receiving a generic unavailability due to “fatigue” of the interested party) ends to confirm all the trouble that the pronunciation of that name causes you.
This is demonstrated for two simple reasons, certainly well known to the Count himself and therefore capable of dismantling the meaning of his reasoning (and of the proposal to Draghi).
First point: it is neither in heaven nor on earth that the director of the European Central Bank moves at the end of his term to lead the Union. It is not politically acceptable, it is not institutionally sound, it is not at all in the plans of the two most influential European countries, France and Germany. So that hypothesis was never on the real agenda last year.
Second point: Europe elects Ursula von der Leyen at the beginning of the summer of 2019, when in Italy there is a yellow-green government. To think that the leadership of the Union can go to our country in the constancy of the least pro-European executive in the history of the Republic is beyond all logic, even when we want to consider the absolute specificity of the name of Mario Draghi, certainly not comparable to this or that political force.
In short, Conte chose the worst way to pay Draghi a compliment, because he presented a scenario that was as unbelievable as it was highly unflattering. Thus ending with a single granite result: confirming in our heads the feeling that just saying Draghi’s name makes him solemnly angry.
