For those who want to get an idea of everything that has happened in these two and a half years of Conte I and Conte II governments and the way the Republic President, the new book of Paolo Armaroli It is a really useful text, I would say indispensable. Count and Mattarella. On stage and behind the scenes of the Quirinale, published by La Vela, is a 252-page dense book, complete with an index of names, written in the form of a story about the institutions and therefore easy to read, but at the same time full of news and details of our republican history. Its author combines the gift of writing of the journalist of the past with the wisdom of the jurist who over the years (and now there are 80) has accumulated experience in both academic and political activity.
I am pleased to note that even a jurist with great parliamentary experience, a member of the Bicamerale D’Alema for constitutional reforms, has come to criticize – in the book – the indiscriminate use of Dpcm with which the health emergency is managed, also unsuccessfully. I also share the idea that Mattarella in this case has opened “the umbrella only half”, to protect the Prime Minister. Also, at least once, on April 25, 2020, the Quirinal opened the umbrella completely, but it was, if I don’t think wrong, the only time and I think, with Armaroli, that “behind the scenes” Mattarella tried to stop a dangerous practice that at least initially put parliament into hibernation and all decisions were made “by the man alone in commandAt that time, having tried to stop this drift, but it seems appropriate to make some criticisms of the role that Mattarella has played on the “stage and behind the scenes” in recent years and unlike the author of the book, I believe that the Head of State passed the “Columns of Hercules” on at least two occasions. On the “stage” Mattarella was on the Savona case in the time of Count I.
All regular and normal according to Armaroli. Of course? Let’s start with the “sacred text”. Art. 92 of the Constitution, second paragraph: “The President of the Republic appoints the President of the Council of Ministers and, at the latter’s proposal, the Ministers.” You can certainly advise the Prime Minister, but you cannot prevent the Prime Minister from choosing a minister for himself. The veto of Savona as Minister of Economy it was illegitimate. Point and head. “Behind the scenes”, in my humble opinion, something even more serious has happened. August 2019: Salvini, after opening the government crisis, he offered to Di Maio the presidency of the council to make a new yellow-green government. Di Maio, contrary to what Armaroli believes, accepted. On the morning of August 25, Salvini called Mattarella, but suddenly the next day Gypsies he opened it to Conte “with the only certainty of finding once again in the President of the Republic the balance and wisdom necessary to govern such a delicate passage. Therefore, we have not escaped. In short, it seems to me that Mattarella on the “stage and behind the scenes” has done it cooked and raw: the Count II is his “construction”. But be careful, President, now the prime minister could aspire to take his place …
