Crisis, Draghi al Quirinale: totoministri begins

The president of the Republic summoned Professor Mario Draghi to the Quirinale. “We need a high-profile government, I will soon give a non-political position.” So an almost angry Sergio Mattarella for the failure of the exploration of the President of the Chamber Roberto Fico, took the reins in hand.

The game of cross vetoes between the parties of the majority has closed to the Count ter.

The speech of the head of state was clear.

“From the consultations at the Quirinale, the only possibility of government on a political basis had emerged from the majority that supported the previous government.

The verification of its concrete realization gave a negative result. There are now two alternative ways: immediately give life to a new government adequate to face the serious emergencies present: health, social, economic, financial or that of immediate early elections ».

Indeed, «the health and economic crisis requires a government in the fullness of its functions and not a government with activity reduced to a minimum. I feel the duty to appeal to the political forces for a high-profile government to deal promptly with the serious emergencies in progress ».

«The expiry of the freeze on layoffs takes a lot difficult decisions to be taken by a government not in full swing and with the electoral campaign. Furthermore, the plan for major European funding must be presented by April, the sooner it is approved, the more time there is for dialogue with the EU. A government with reduced activity would not be able to do this in some respects it could not and we cannot miss this opportunity ».

«From the moment in which the Chambers are dissolved, 60 days must pass, then another 20 days to install the new Chambers, which then must form their own Bureaus. Then it is necessary to form the government, which must gain the confidence of the chambers and then organize its own offices. In 2013 4 months passed, in 2018 5 months. It would be a matter of keeping the country for a long time without a full-fledged government».

And the president closes: “I intend to give the task as soon as possible to form a government that will deal promptly with serious emergencies that cannot be postponed“. And so Mattarella summoned Mario Draghi.

A possible Draghi Government

If the only certainty at this moment is “a high profile government»As wished by Sergio Mattarella, the quality invoked will not be limited to the choice of Mario Draghi. But the whole government team will have to live up to it. And then we start with the totoministri.

The name of theformer president of the Consulta Marta Cartabia: it is not unlikely that Justice will be offered to you.

Another important box is the Economy: Draghi could propose a Fabio Panetta, Italian member of the ECB executive, to tackle the delicate recovery dossier. Another name in pole is that of Carlo Cottarelli.

Central pawn that of Ministry of Health. If Roberto Speranza was not reconfirmed the virologist Ilaria Capua could arrive.

For the interiors there are those who hypothesize the confirmation of Luciana Lamorgese, one of the few already “technicians” capable of continuing administrative action in a delicate sector.
