How Mario Draghi is seen by the newspapers
But how many colors must Mario Draghi let himself be painted for pleasure or displeasure, according to tastes and circumstances, to those who observe him in his new role as Prime Minister and are in a hurry to judge him
Green is notoriously the color that Beppe Grillo poured on him in buckets to please the now eternally divided and restless militants, spokesmen and so on of the 5 Star Movement. Many of whom the “guarantor” and “elevated” founder cannot make people forget the insults he himself spilled on him in recent years, when perhaps the then president of the European Central Bank was second, in the scale of Grillino contempt, only to those journalists whose comedian said he wanted to eat them to then try “the pleasure of throwing them up”.
The white and the color applied to him on the Fatto Quotidiano by Fabrizio D’Esposito evoking the almost premonitory participation in the last edition of the Communion and Liberation meeting: the one in which Draghi warms the hearts of young people protecting them from the ruin to which they would have been destined with the practice of “bad” debt. Up to then there had been abundant recourse to use it in tips and assistance, rather than in productive investments.
White is also the color of Pope Francis’ cassock, the quickest in seizing the opportunity of Draghi’s temporary unemployment, so to speak, calling him to join the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences.
But let’s not forget that under or before the pontifical cassock of Jorge Mario Bergoglio there was, and metaphorically still is, the black cassock of the Jesuit. That someone hastened to imagine was also decisive for the formation of Draghi, whom he studied precisely from the Jesuits. The Debenedettian Domani has just reminded him of this, giving him the “Ignatian technocrat” – of course by Ignazio de Loyola, not by Piero Ignazi, the political scientist to whom Carlo De Benedetti’s newspaper entrusted the analysis of Draghi – and explaining in an all-black headline of first page that the new prime minister “learned from the Jesuits and the DC that a true leader guides history without pretending to guide it”.
The prose of Domani is nevertheless pure art compared to that of the aforementioned Fatto Quotidiano, where Massimo Fini improvised himself as theologian and enlisted Draghi among the Matteo Renzi “Catholics”, mobilized after the allocation of 209 billion euros to Italy of the community funds of the recovery to remove them from the availability of Giuseppe Conte and pass them on to the former president of the European Central Bank. “Those billions – wrote Fini – were tempting” from the first moment “to many, bankers, financiers, irreproachable people because they dress in suits and have lunch at lunchtime and have dinner at dinner time”: not that messy but “not morally corruptible” Conte, accustomed at dinner time not to eat but to spread press conferences and other messages to the people hanging from his lips.
But where the “theologian” Fini gave his best, to the smallest, of himself and the passage of the article in which, also blaming the faith declared and practiced by his friend and director Marco Travaglio, even with the premise that they are literally ” your cocks “, he wrote that” Catholicism “in the” power assumed in recent decades in Italy has nothing to do with Christianity, that is, with the fascinating borderline of Nazareth “. And so Draghi was advised to continue to go to mass on the days commanded, but to get it out of his head that he is therefore a good Christian.
With these theological and customary premises, the cursivist of Fatto Quotidiano even managed to explain “the story – listen – of that disguised coup d’état that led to the Draghi government”. Of which – hear this too – we understand at this point as “substantially pantographs the previous one and holds everyone together, the devil and holy water, but with the decisive exclusion of Conte (as well as, for obvious Berlusconian interests, of Bonafede) “. Unfortunately, no word of understanding or sharing was spent on the tears escaped from the spokesman Rocco Casalino at the exit from Palazzo Chigi.
To justify his trial to a Draghi after all also a coup, or in any case “end user” of a coup d’état, as a defender of Silvio Berlusconi said about the escorts, real or alleged, he received at home, Fini si e recalled to the famous conviction of the good soul of Giulio Andreotti that “thinking badly makes you sin, but you almost always get it right”. Yet of the “divo Giulio” the even demanding Fini had to recognize, verbatim, that “for competence, knowledge of Italy, both in the historical and administrative sense, intelligence, wit and style is five spans above the dwarfs of today and in any other a European country would have been a great statesman, but in Italy he had to be a sort of ircocervo, meta statesman and destination, perhaps, delinquent “.
