The standing ovation and 33 rounds of applause that welcomed yesterday's speech Mario Draghi at the Meeting of Rimini, populated as always by a large number of young people, will also have to be taken with caution (the day before the applause had gone to Giorgia Meloni) but they are worth more than any word. And they are not only the appreciation for the language of truth and hope about Italy that the prime minister flaunted, as usual, but a slap to whoever stabbed the most esteemed Italian in the world in the back two months ago and sunk one of the best governments of the last decades in the country. But how do you defenestrate a prime minister like Mario Draghi and a government like his? Who knows if, listening to the standing ovation in Rimini, Giuseppe Tale, Matteo Salvini and Silvio Berlusconi who, for petty reasons, signed the regicide, will have been at least a little ashamed of their acts. It's about time they did it at least in front of themselves.
Draghi, a speech aimed at the future
But the Draghi speech it was not aimed at the past but above all at the future and not surprisingly, from his very first words, the prime minister told the young people that they are the "hope of politics” and warmly invited everyone to go and vote on September 25th. Why was he facing the future? Because Draghi, with his elegant and at the same time sober style, has invited the political forces not to disperse theinheritance of his government which has had to face frightening emergencies such as the pandemic and war but has brought home results that are there for all to see, starting with GDP rebound of 6,6% of 2021 which hadn't happened for decades except since the time of the economic miracle. Not to mention the rain of money that is coming to Italy col Pnrr, that someone clumsily would like to review without knowing exactly what it would entail.
The Draghi agenda as a legacy
But the Premier's legacy is not made up only of words or legitimate satisfaction with the results achieved: his legacy is theDragons Agenda, which is method and content at the same time. That is, the ability to promptly resolve problems and international credibility. Quite the opposite of protectionism and dell'isolationism that “they are not the national interest” Draghi said to those who have to understand. Great Super Mario.
