Mario Draghi: a man who receives compliments on Thursdays, Tuesdays, Sundays, Saturdays, Mondays, Fridays and Wednesdays. That receives compliments from the right, from the left, from the center, from above and from below, and it seems also from the fourth dimension. He is a man of whom no one dares to say evil.
At one time it seemed like a blasphemy “Saying badly about Garibaldi”. But of Garibaldi at least it could be said that he was rough, that he was an adventurer, that he had stolen a certain Anita from his large family. Not even that of Draghi. I have rarely seen such unanimous consent. Of Jesus it seems they were wondering if something good could come from Nazareth, for Draghi, born in Rome, caput mundi, even the origin is a laurel wreath.
Normally such a choral applause should awaken it in many people Bastian spirit contrary and create legions of anti-dragonians. But there is no shadow of it. And to think that in order to send Aristide into exile a commoner also voted who did not even know him but was tired of his desire for virtue.
I guess you will say to me: “And after all this introduction are you coming to tell us badly?”
No, I don’t mean to say bad. First of all for The carreer What did he do. Then why so many in Europe think well about it. Finally, because even those who do not appreciate it do not deny them intelligence (which they obviously call cunning). in conclusion saying badly about Draghi risks only the accusation of being envious.

Nonetheless, it will be legitimate to remember that, like the triumphs of ancient Rome, he is only human and mortal. He also benefited from exceptionally favorable circumstances and not everything he has done can be approved. Despite being an excellent banker, it’s Keynesian and in fact I personally disagree with his famous “Whatever it takes”. Whatever? “Whatever” corresponds to distorting the savings market forever.
And this with consequences that, in the long term, could be dramatic, if not tragic. So much so that at the moment I was amazed by the positive reaction of the markets. But, you know, those aim for profit in predictable times and it is always better to put them off in any case. But that might just be my opinion.

Undeniable, however, is the fact that it is became President of the Council by grace received. From Mattarella. Draghi was not elected by anyone, it was never legitimized by popular vote, and therefore he put democracy in parentheses. Not his fault, of course. Still, surviving attached to the heart-lung machine is not the height of health for a nation.
Draghi has an authority that we haven’t seen for some time. Much of his charisma comes from style: sober bordering on aphasia, not at all demagogic. Often silent. After meeting the unpleasant and insistent voice of Giuseppe Conte, a real rest for the eyes and ears. But he is by no means the thaumaturge that many believe. And this for a very simple reason.
Draghi seems omnipotent because the parties are so scattered and opposed that anyone who weighs a few grams can still be the tip of the balance; and above all why the deputies are also willing to walk on hot coals as long as the chambers are not dissolved.
In fact they are afraid of being deprived today of the seat and tomorrow of the pension. Under these conditions any Prime Minister, save to be a fool capable of committing suicide, would be immovable. And Mario is certainly not a fool. Indeed pull the rope without breaking it, it doesn’t make the parties lose face and, when he cannot win, instead of drawing his sword, he postpones. So much so that, in the “Giornale”, Nicola Porro reproached him for an “excess of compromise”.
Draghi is simply an intelligent and savvy man parachuted into an exceptional situation. And this could mean that, in a normal situation like the one in which all the other Prime Minister found themselves, he could hardly have done better than them.
Another of his fortunes is that he succeeded Giuseppe Conte, in comparison to which anyone, if only he does not extrapolate daily on television, would seem a statesman. Conte, it was said, won the lottery ticket, and it could be said that something similar happened to Draghi too. But the difference is that the second of his ticket has made good use of it.
However, no one can claim to have series of lucky breaks. In the future, any prime minister, including Draghi, will be held hostage by the parties and will have very little power. It is our constitutional architecture that is wrong. Our constituents have thought more about weakening a Mussolini who was no longer there than to allow a government to govern.
And if Draghi shines even in normal conditions, then yes we should all take off our hats and cry out for a miracle. But personally I don’t believe in miracles.
