The phony war between Letta and Salvini in the Draghi government

The phony war between Letta and Salvini in the Draghi government

What are the real relationships in the majority of the Draghi government? The Scratches of Damato

The secretary of the Democratic Party Enrico Letta gives Matteo Salvini the "unreliable" as in his time the secretary of the DC Ciriaco De Mita to Bettino Craxi who did not want to give up Palazzo Chigi. He uselessly asks for what was once called "verification" of the majority and, unheard by Prime Minister Mario Draghi, defines "all limits exceeded" on the eighth time – counted and shouted on the front page of the usual Fatto Quotidiano – in which the Northern League the amendments by Giorgia Meloni's brothers of Italy voted in the Chamber to try in vain to modify the decree law on the green pass.

In short, the former Parisian exile shares the red notice of the "split majority" printed by Marco Travaglio's newspaper and is perhaps even tempted to share that "Draghi government is not ours" shouted at the feast of Fatto Quotidiano by the guru of the Pd Goffredo Bettini . That in order to get rid of the too patient prime minister, let's say, with Salvini he would like to send him to the Quirinale at the end of Sergio Mattarella's mandate, even at the cost of shortening the end of the legislature by a year. In this case, according to Bettini's evaluation, the new head of state would be able to make the Parliament swallow a kind of photocopy of the current government and a majority with another or another, even if crowded with deputies and senators without hope of confirmation. Prime Minister.

Exasperated even more than Enrico Letta and Bettini, the political scientist Marco Revelli tells the Fatto Quotidiano – and to whom else – that the crisis must now be opened because the government "is out of the Constitution", despite not having been beaten in any of the votes held to the Chamber on the conversion of the decree law on the green pass. Another political scientist, Piero Ignazi, writes in Carlo De Benedetti's Domani of the "danger of a government that no longer responds to the parties" of its majority.

On the sheet of Giuliano Ferrara and Claudio Cerasa the already "grim" Salvini is now also a "tarantolato" that confuses his own party, whose deputies "graze" in "small groups in the courtyard" of Montecitorio, after having voted on the amendments of Meloni and brothers, wondering where on earth their captain intends to take them in an attempt to escape the danger of falling below 20 percent of the vote in October's administrative and supplementary elections, from 34-odd in the heady European elections of 2019.

In my opinion, Stefano Folli's story is more realistically opposed to this disastrous scenario of the emergency majority wanted by Mattarella after the "Conticide" complained of by Travaglio. Who writes in Repubblica : “The substance is that Salvini always remains in the coalition's enclosure, albeit by pulling the elastic as long as he can. It is a bit of a party game, certainly unscrupulous. The prime minister lets it go because this theater does not disturb the government's path. In fact, on the double issue of the green pass and the obligation of the vaccine (for now only in fact and in all probability destined to remain so), we proceed with a mixture of severity and moderation ".

It is no coincidence, on the other hand, that Emilio Giannelli on the front page of Corriere della Sera puts Draghi on Salvini's shoulders so that their shadow on the wall is projected into the dimension of General De Gaulle. To which yesterday – again in the Corriere – Ernesto Galli della Loggia had somehow compared the Italian Prime Minister.
