I tell Corriere – Draghi almost nobody wanted him Now almost everyone could vote for him

Dear aldo,
My skin wrinkles at the very idea that Professor Mario Draghi should be submitted to the approval of those (politicians and politicians) who daily testify to their inability to stay where they are. But since it is not correct to make a bunch of all the grass (not excluding the position of the unnameable, the populists and the narcissistic and professional agitators) to the 5Stelle that my horrified thought goes. And I wonder: with what critical, political, deontological or reasoning instrument can these poor children decide? They are in the Palace, they face a tall person (Mario Draghi), a king, whose mere name makes them more naked than they are.
Giusi Furnari

Dear Giusi,
Taking it out on MPs is the easiest way to get applause, so it is best avoided. In addition, there are almost a thousand parliamentarians, and among them by statistical necessity there are also trained and competent people, as well as obviously many respectable people. There is some truth in what you write, kind Mrs. Furnari.
Striscia la Notizia issued an amusing montage of statements by prominent politicians that a Draghi government was absolutely impossible. Obviously they were wrong. I can assure you that, in the days of the vote of confidence in the Conte government, I did not find any senators at Palazzo Madama, except for a couple of more forward-thinking colleagues, willing to make or support Draghi’s name. And this despite the fact that it was already clear that it was the best solution.
The truth is that Draghi among the parliamentarians almost nobody wanted him, although in the end perhaps almost everyone will vote for him. The simple reason: the parties will not touch the ball, or in any case the current leaders will count less than before; just when there are 209 billion to spend. But the technicians come when the politicians fail. So it was for Ciampi, when in 1993 the system was crumbling under the blows of Mani Pulite; for Dini, when at the end of 1994 the alliance between Berlusconi and the Lega that had won the March elections was broken in advance; for Monti, after the fall of Berlusconi in autumn 2011. And so it will be now for Draghi.
