Moves, objectives and unknowns of Enrico Letta, secretary of the Democratic Party, according to the political notist Francesco Damato
. due to the objective difficulties in which Enrico Letta found himself and is, in general, at the head of a complex party such as the Democratic Party left to him in inheritance by Nicola Zingaretti, the show that the two gave in Corrado Formigli’s television lounge, on La 7 , it was luscious.
And not at all incorrect, because Mieli at a certain point, with the experience he has on his shoulders as a newspaper editor, and that newspapers, from the Press to the Corriere della Sera, loyally warned his interlocutor of the stakes. Which was that of some embarrassing title for the role that the secretary of the Democratic Party has given himself, willy-nilly, as an acrobat, or one forced to run without skates on an unseasonal ice sheet. In fact, temperatures have returned to rise, fortunately to the detriment of that carrion that continues to be Covid.
“Read against Draghi”, Mieli himself suggested to his editorial colleagues during closing time after putting them against each other, for example, on the Turkish president Erdogan. That the Prime Minister, with a paw that appeared to be involuntary wrongly, having been desired in the situation just opened with a trip to the other side of the Mediterranean, defined him as a “dictator” and the secretary of the Democratic Party only “autarchy”, recognizing him as a “dictator” formally democratic origin of its power for the existence of an elected Parliament. While Draghi – Erdogan had just replied, calling him “rude” – was not elected. But – I would add – when the President of the Council is trusted by an elected Parliament, he too becomes indirectly elected, unless we want to argue that our Chambers are now abusive,
I also see that even the Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio, former political leader of the grillini and I do not know what he intended in his movement after the re-foundation that Giuseppe Conte did, in an interview with Corriere della Sera did not want to give Erdogan del dictator claiming the diplomacy he is required to do for government functions. And so, like it or not, he too deserved, in his dealings with Draghi, the malicious title suggested against the secretary of the Democratic Party to the newspapers at that moment – I repeat – of closing, therefore in time to fall into temptation. This happened to us almost every evening in the last years of the presidential term of Francesco Cossiga, who after dinner played as a pickaxe with his utterances not at all improvised. There was a sadist in his choice of times against the newspapers,
Still on that imaginary slab of ice, and without skates, Enrico Letta had to take a stand, in the clean square of Formigli, even on the even international conspiracy that from inside his Pd Goffredo Bettini has repeatedly seen and indicated behind the end of the experience at Palazzo Chigi by Giuseppe Conte. Which would not have fallen at the push of Matteo Renzi, but “made to fall” by Renzi at the push, in turn, of who knows which and how many Italian and foreign strong powers, obviously not excluding those who invite the senator of Scandicci to make conferences for a fee and interviews abroad. It is no coincidence that he has now earned the nickname of Matteo of Arabia.
Faced with Letta’s understandable attempts to escape the game of the cat disguised as a journalist, historian and so on, I almost took my breath away when the secretary of the Democratic Party was invited to say clearly whether or not he shared the decision of the president of the Repubblica to close almost by authority a crisis that had dragged on for too long by calling Mario Draghi to the Quirinale. Yes, I shared, Enrico Letta had to admit. And the other: fully shared
Yes, fully, the “victim” had to answer. And so Bettini, Conte and all the other interested explicit or implicit lovers of the coup d’état in our beautiful country were served with the word of the political personality they would most need not so much to support the coup thesis as to draw from it first or then the remedial political effects on the former Prime Minister.
You see how even Italian politics can be funny
Unfortunately, however, out of context, because the latter is not fun at all, continuing to live in the emergencies – health, social and economic – that brought Draghi to Palazzo Chigi, and General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo in the surroundings, wrapped in that camouflage suit that maybe she also wears it in bed and has helped to make some crime writers lose their minds, in trousers or skirts.
