Quirinale, Draghi does not go down with rejection and takes revenge

Quirinale, only Draghi had not understood the impossibility of moving to Colle

I state the facts. Already weeks – perhaps months – before the story of the election of the new began President of the RepublicI have repeatedly written that in no case could the new President be Mario Draghi because his election would have created such a turmoil in the government as to risk the end of the legislature. Not bad, someone will say.

Not bad for us citizens, but not for the peons who, with this end, would also have seen the end of their salaries and their pension as parliamentarians sure of non-re-election. I wrote it once, twice, three times, I don’t know how many times. Even during the days of the election, even knowing how much the prophets risk.

So much so that he didn’t understand the silence and ambiguity of Dragonswhich I attributed to his “style“. Moreover, appreciated by me. I was so convinced of my point of view that at first I was skeptical when, in the course of the vote, some spoke of the fact that Draghi was working to get elected, up to having contacts with the various party leaders.

Everyone’s problem, of course, was not the quality of the candidate (since Draghi is esteemed by everyone, even those who don’t like him) but the fact that, without him, there was a risk that a new government could not be formed. With the consequent dissolution of the Chambers, new elections and – it must be said, at the risk of being monotonous – irreparable damage for many parliamentarians.

That is why, as I read this news, I remained skeptical. Draghi is too much intelligent – I said to myself – not to know that everything gives way in the face of interest. And above all, he cannot offer any guarantees on the After-Dragons. “Even if the leaders agree, and swear on the head of the next slaughter cow that there will be no new elections anyway, who could be sure they will keep their word?”.

And then I thought that the peons were saying to each other: “Who makes us do it to take this risk? The stability of Italy because Draghi is at the Quirinale? And where do we put the stability of my income? May Draghi remain a Palazzo Chigi and so we take no chances. At least we confirm Mattarella, whether he agrees or not ”.

I was so sure of all this that I was not at all surprised when I learned that those negotiations had led to nothing. The astonishing was that they had taken place. That Dragons could have believed it. So much so that, despite the thousands of rumors, I remained skeptical.
