Mario Draghi is certainly a leading figure on the international scene. His experiences are of a very high level, with the last of his position as President of the European Central Bank, a position held from 1 November 2011 to 31 October 2019, when at the end of his term of office he was sued by Christine Lagarde.
He was a very strong supporter of the euro and famous is his phrase 'whatever it takes'' used to reaffirm the greatest effort to defend the single European currency.
If I have to speak with sincerity, I am a little sorry for the non-confirmation of the government of Giuseppe Conte, who in my opinion has done his duty excellently, in the midst of a thousand difficulties, especially due to the lack of seriousness and the lack of sense of responsibility that is all too present within Italian politics.
Certainly such a high-level figure is a clear signal to our European partners that they want to take and follow a certain kind of Pro-European line directed towards budgetary sustainability, especially at such a sensitive time, to which we must put ourselves the fact that we are expecting European recovery found money, which will have to be well spent and, above all, in a certain way. The rumour has leaked that the Draghi government will have to be supported by a large majority in order to exist, and this makes me fear a little, for the thought of seeing people who are not inclined to the common good jump on the bandwagon.
The Democratic Party has little weight at the moment, only 11% if I'm not mistaken, we'll see right now how it wants to behave. I hope and pray that if there is a Draghi government, the PD will be accountable and involved in the work. I think it will, but let's see.
With regard to the M5S there is already talk of rifts within it, because their political leader has stated that he does not want to support a possible Draghi government (they have given the floor for a Conte government and on this path they want to continue) but some exponents would not agree. So the situation needs to be assessed.
Italia Viva immediately declared itself interested in participation (let alone, after causing the fall of the previous government for visibility this is an opportunity too juicy not to be seized on the fly. I would like to remind you that Italia Viva is a group present in Parliament not having participated in the elections, because after being elected to the ranks of the Democratic Party their political leader left the party just entered Parliament collecting characters and created this group. A kind of betrayal in my opinion. I would also like to say that about two years ago their political leader announced and promised his exit from politics after the insuceus achieved, a promise not kept as we see. So I don't know how reliable a someone who doesn't keep his word and sinks his allies can be).
La Lega has also expressed an interest, but my personal opinion on the political leader of this party is not very different with regard to the factor of seriousness from that of the representative of Italia Viva. There are characters within La Lega who do not mind being honest, like the governor of the Veneto region Luca Zaia, but I do not express myself. I would be interested to see new leadership within this party.
Forza Italia, I believe that just as the Democratic Party is open to dialogue.
Fratelli d’Italia I don't know.
In my personal opinion, the best choice should be that of a Draghi government supported by the Democratic Party, Leu, M5S, Forza Italia and some mixed centrist and pro-European groups. In these hours Draghi will begin talks with the various parties.
Very soon we should have updates.
