Europe Italy 'shields' Christmas with a 'super passport' Covid that leaves out the unvaccinated
Diplomacy France and Italy sign a new cooperation treaty
Every word of Mario Draghi is listened to, weighed and analyzed these days. Just three weeks after Parliament begins looking for the new president of Italy, the prime minister does not rule out promotion to head of state, a position that
Sergio Mattarella has held
since 2015. "My fate does not matter, I have no aspirations.
I am a grandfather to the service of the institutions.
This Executive has achieved great results, it will continue no matter who is there, "he told reporters last Wednesday during his last press conference of the year, in Rome.
The question of whether he will stop being 'premier' to become president was the cornerstone of his speech, in which - for more than two hours - he answered questions about the pandemic, the Recovery Plan, the European Union or geopolitics. At the insistence of the press,
Draghi replied that, in any case, the government must move forward
, "with an even larger majority, possibly than the current one," and that it is essential that the legislature "reaches its natural end" . He also stressed that the Executive he has led so far "has achieved many of the results" that were requested.
Both the local and international media immediately interpreted that Draghi is somehow running for the presidency and gives unmistakable signals, but he cannot say so explicitly. "Are you talking about results achieved, then, mission accomplished?", A journalist 'squeezes' him. "You say that ...", the 'premier' dodges with a smile. They even ask him if he foresees that a head of state can somehow "accompany" the future Executive, if he thinks it is possible and if the Constitution allows it. "The answer is no,
the head of state is the guarantor, but he cannot have any substitute role
,
"
ditch Draghi.
More than half of the press conference focused on the short-term future of the 'premier', who threw balls out: "Questions about my future? It's not that I don't like them, it's that I don't have answers. The important thing is Live the present". But the hypothesis that he is not the one who concludes the legislature as prime minister resurfaces strongly when Draghi points out the achievements of his Government - "making Italy one of the most vaccinated countries in the world or meeting the objectives of the Recovery Plan" - and he lets it fall that the country, in any case, will be able to rise to the challenges
"regardless of who is in charge
: the important thing is that it is backed by a majority like the one that supported this government, the widest possible."
The reality is that Mario Draghi
is one of the best positioned to become Mattarella's successor
in mid-January. After the political crisis that ended with the departure of
Giuseppe Conte
, the former president of the European Central Bank was sworn in as prime minister last February and five days later his Executive obtained the support of all parties, except for the far-right Brothers of Italy .
Draghi has served as a consensus figure during his term in the midst of the Covid crisis and his departure from the Government to become President
would generate a new political chaos in the country
. If elected president, he should appoint a new 'premier' who runs out of the legislature in 2023 or dissolve Parliament and call elections. And that's something your partners don't want.
The Democratic Party praises his intention to exhaust the legislature. Internal sources of the League express a certain
"concern about eventual changes that could create instability,"
that is, a replacement at the head of the Executive, reported Efe. Forza Italia wants to see its leader,
Silvio Berlusconi
, in the Quirinal
. And the 5-Star Movement, the majority partner of the coalition government, would not be favored in an electoral advance, according to the polls.
Meanwhile, Draghi remains in a position that authorizes different political reactions and disparate readings:
"The important thing is to live in the present and do the best you can
. Perhaps I am wrong, but the reason for the success of the Government, for me but I also think For other ministers, it is that he has worked in the present without asking himself what is in the future, what is there for me in the future. "
