Mario Draghi he has already given the agenda of his government. He did so in less than two minutes as soon as he came out of the meeting against the President of the Republic who gave him the job to form the government. He accepted with reserve as per tradition, but he dictated the program clearly: “Winning the pandemic, completing the vaccination campaign, offering answers to citizens’ daily problems, relaunching the country”. This in the short term, but in the long term: «the future of the younger generations and the strengthening of social cohesion».
How to do it? This is also already clear with “The extraordinary resources of the EU”, i 209 miliardi del Recovery Fund.

The way is confrontation “with parties and parliamentary groups and dialogue with social forces”. Consultations are scheduled to start in the afternoon. The idea seems to be that of a government halfway between the technical and the political (like Ciampi in 1993, but doing consultations) because Draghi is indeed an economics technician, but he has more often used the term policy maker. “I have had the privilege of receiving in the various positions I have occupied a mandate from politicians designated by the will of the citizens,” he said in the past.
And politics has made a lot of money. The centrist Tabacci said that too Barack Obama consulted him. Angela Merkel told him: «Mario, you didn’t convince me. But I can not help but follow you ». He suggested spending, putting in liquidity to save the euro. Usually bankers are the most reluctant to open their wallets and instead he continues to propose to make good debt, what is needed for investments.
Subsidies might seem like bad debt. He will certainly try to rationalize his spending, but it is difficult for him to give them i funds for businesses forced to close by the pandemic. These too must become useful for growth. He says no to aid rain, we must go “towards more targeted measures, focused on those companies that need support but are expected to be reliable even in the post-Covid phase”.
Consultations serve a give political inspiration to the government that could not survive in Parliament without the votes of the 5 Star Movement, now more divided than ever and for the majority not in favor of Draghi, considered representative of the elite. The Democratic Party and Leu are trying to convince the pentastellati to maintain the form of the past majority that would expand to the right, at least with Forza Italia. In parties, but also outside, excellence should be sought.
