Dear Mario,
I am writing you this letter after many months in which I have often criticized you. However, as you will have understood from the beginning and as mutual friends have explained to you, my criticisms of you had the pure purpose of managing and increasing consensus among the Italian public who always asks to find some scapegoat. You will understand well that it is easier to place i our woe to some responsibleand external rather than taking charge of the difficult situation in which we find ourselves.
In any case, now that your term as ECB President is coming to an end, the prayer I address to you is to not make other commitments and remain available. Your services will be essential to us in trying to put the situation of our beloved country back on track. Now that the inexperienced travel companions five-starred, after doing more damage than an elephant in a Swarovski shop, they are doing Hara-kiri we have to turn the page. The most probable thing is that we will go to new elections, from which the League should reasonably collect an almost plebiscitary vote. This will guarantee us a majority in Parliament and we will have the numbers to move on to a real phase of government.
However, it is presumable that the electoral passage will cause the Italian public debt to dance. You know very well that when I say “I don't care about the spread” I mean “someone help med to curb the distrust of the markets”. How about packaging another speech like "whatever it takes", what you did to the City of London in July 2012 that saved the euro? This time around, you should convince investors of the reliability of Italy's public debt. I have already spoken about it with President Mattarella and with the leading exponents of the centre-right. While none of them will publicly admit it, they're all happy with the probable availability you've made me filter through our mutual friends.
I really hope you accept this offer and can repeat for our public debt the miracle you performed in London for the euro.
With great respect,
Matteo Salvini
