Dear manager,
Why, in the face of a momentous emergency, do parts of the right and left interpret Berlusconi’s willingness to lend a hand, through the government, to Italians as dictated solely by unscrupulous tactics? the same unscrupulousness, if we want to call it that, that favored the birth of Count 1 and Count 2, when ideologically incompatible partners came together.
Massimo Lodi

Does Berlusconi vote with the majority to save the country or himself? I personally believe in the second hypothesis. the advent of gaseous alliances, the result of liquid society, where instead the problems always remain solid like pebbles.
Massimo Marnetto

Dear Lodi and Marnetto,
His two letters express two opposing views on what is happening in Parliament and on what it would take for the country. However, I think it is useful to think without prejudice about the government, its strength and its ability to face an unprecedented postwar emergency. The reorganization discussion is all the rage these days: some ministers change and everything can go great. An old way of reasoning, it suggests situations of the past in which games between the majority parties used to end with some tweaks in the composition of the executive. Frankly, it seems like a trivial matter to me, especially if it distracts from the fundamental task of addressing the health crisis that is still underway. There are two important questions that cannot simply make us say: everything can remain so.
The first concerns the strength of this government: can it face the decisive challenge of getting the country back on track? Is it possible that economic reconstruction is handled with the confusion of these days, with ideological disputes and ultimatums aimed only at not disturbing the internal peace of the parties (especially the Five Star Movement) or relaunching personal ambitions? Any decisive election depends on a few votes in the Senate, which can disappear and lead the executive only to endless mediations and decisions to the bottom. Is it no longer useful to start thinking about the involvement of the majority of the political forces in an effort of national responsibility indispensable in this situation? They find in the parties, and especially in the majority, the most successful formula, without falling only into opportunism and exclusion of principle. But the subject, in my opinion, is inescapable.
The second question seems to me equally relevant. We will face difficult months, with so many workers and companies on the edge. With entire sectors almost to zero and with a public debt that is skyrocketing. There are projects funded by the European Union to be conceived and implemented, economic activities must be restarted, but above all, reforms must finally be implemented that allow the country to be more modern, more business-friendly, more sustainable in environmental terms and less affected by inequalities of opportunity and income. We have a very high peak to climb and I cannot understand how it can be done without involving the best of Italy in terms of competence, authority, design and construction skills. One cannot lock oneself in a fort: first, by the prime minister, a call for the best energies must be promoted to involve them in roles of government and responsibility. Without fear and without reservations. Whoever does this, I think, will have the appreciation of the country.
