He has a haggard and dark expression on his face, Sergio Mattarella, when late at night he announced that he would have a high-profile government and that he should not identify with any political formula. A government of the president. Therefore yours. Conducted by Mario draghi, the extreme and most authoritarian resource in the country, expected today at noon at the Quirinale.
The crisis started 20 days ago with the withdrawal of the Italian delegation alive of the majority it closes in the worst way, due to the expectations of stability that the head of state hoped not to have to give up. Or rather, in the best way just to Matteo renzi, the wrecker in permanent service, which at this tabula rasa pointed from the beginning. And that he did everything he could to thwart the queries about the Colle and the subsequent exploration of Roberto fico.
At this point in Mattarella There were only two alternatives between them and he explains them thoroughly in front of the cameras, to show how his choice has matured and to clarify the recriminations. The first path was to immediately create a proper government deal with serious emergencies, health, social and economic-financial. The other was that of immediate early elections… A path that must be considered carefully because elections represent an exercise in democracy. It was contraindicated because it would create a near potency vacuum of at least four months. A period too long to float in small-scale cabotage, given that emergencies and mandatory deadlines are looming, which Italians know well because they refer to their health (third wave of pandemics, vaccinations) and the economic and social stability of the country ( Recovery plan, etc.).
That’s why it’s up to Draghi, a mandatory choice. In whose name the president already appeals to all political forces to give him their full confidence. The appeal is delivered with an emphasis that is unusual for him, because although the name of the former director of the European Central Bank has been mentioned almost unanimously in recent weeks, it does not mean that, in reality, the support of Parliament is really obvious. You will get a complete job immediately. This means that Draghi himself will draft the government program and draw up the list of ministers, who still do not know if they will be technical or political.
A devastating showdown, this crisis, which made Mattarella feel very uncomfortable. Not only because of the spectacle of intrigues, provocations, tactics, lies, transformations, dangers and sabotage that have strengthened the idea of being dominated by tribal powers in the national community, but because in the end the prestige of the institutions is damaged. Everybody. In fact, reaching, by reflex, of course, even the highest sanctuary, the Quirinal, whose tenant has been thrown away by the parties without respect for weeks.
So it doesn’t seem random that Mattarella yesterday issued a memory of Antonio Segni 130 years after birth, in which there are a couple of eloquent passages. The first, to emphasize once again that reelection is not one of his projects, he does so citing a message to the Chambers from its predecessor, in 1963.
In that text Segni expressed the conviction that it was appropriate to introduce the principle of no immediate reelection of the President of the Republic, defining seven years enough to guarantee continuity in the action of the State … That reform of the Charter, wrote the statesman from Sassari, is also valid to eliminate any suspicion, albeit unfair, that an act of the chief is carried out of State. to favor his re-election.
As we know, the proposal was not attended and with it also the subordinate suggestion it contained: the abolition of the so-called blank semester, during which the powers of presidents about to expire are weakened to the point that they are not allowed dissolve parliament. And in this last step a call resounds for the responsibility of the parties, so that they abandon the sectarian strategies of recent times and commit themselves to giving life to a government capable of lasting at least until next year, without having to re-establish the Colle arbitration.
