Mario Draghi star on social media: all crazy for memes about the Governor

Mario Draghi was called SuperMario before social media, it is unlikely that Twitter and its surroundings would miss the opportunity to relaunch all sorts of memes and images after the post to form the new government for the former president of the ECB. The reactions are opposite: on the one hand those who see him as the savior of the homeland and on the other those who fear a period of austerity, tears and blood as with the technical government of Mario Monti.

Irony triumphs over all. Easy with Draghi as a surname and a signature that appears on many of the circulating banknotes.

“I’m selling a 20 euro banknote with Mario Draghi’s autograph for 50 euro” reads the announcement taken several times and there are many memes and gifs with dragons that breathe fire.

The former president of the European Central Bank is represented as Superman, but also like Queen Elizabeth. On social media it circulates in all possible forms, except the real one since it does not have its own profile.

Lercio makes former minister Danilo Toninelli speak: «Toninelli: ‘Yes to the Draghi government as long as the Prime Minister is Conte’». There are those who choose the path of game: «You write“ if Draghi is in government then I… and let the keyboard continue… ”».

With Draghi they also come Conte and Mattarella that, for Osho, dragons had to be invented to solve the crisis. As often happens on social media, we arrive at the theory of the international conspiracy that the former ECB guide wanted to govern Italy to please others.

Very popular is the phrase “whatever it takes”, everything you need, which obviously stands out on the most unlikely of images. Who could not miss? Bernie Sanders. Omnipresent with his Inauguration Day look in recent weeks he has not even missed the Quirinale meeting.

The political observatory Reputation Science monitored online conversations relating to Mario Draghi. In the last week, with a peak between the evening of Tuesday 2 and the early hours of Wednesday 3, the former president of the ECB has been mentioned on the web over 200,000 times. The hashtags #Draghi and #DraghiPremier are flying.
