Too much pomp in the prime minister Giorgia Meloni in liquidating i Technical governments. Everyone knows that they were an anomaly of Italian democracy, incapable in many decisive moments of its history to express governments elected by the people and up to the tasks that the moment required. But having said this, Italy will forever have to thank the technical governments presided over by Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, from Mario Monti and Mario Draghi. They had the great merit, each in their own way, of saving Italy: without them - even if Meloni accepts it - our country would have ended up in bankruptcy.
The Ciampi Government, wanted by the President Oscar Luigi Scalfaro also to ensure the correct application of the new electoral law, he remained in office between April 1993 and May 1994 and was the last member of the First Republic before the cyclone Berlusconi. Ciampi put all his technical expertise as Governor of the Bank of Italy at the service of the fight against inflation and economic recovery, of which the agreement with the social partners of July 1993 and the start of bank privatizations were fundamental cornerstones.
Mario Monti instead arrived at Palazzo Chigi on 16 November 2011, wanted by the President Giorgio Napolitano to avoid bankruptcy after the defeat of the last Berlusconi government, rejected by the markets (spread at 575 points) even before Parliament. The economic reforms of the Monti Government, including Elsa Fornero's previously mocked and now inevitably re-evaluated pension reform, saved Italy from the crash. She remained in office until 28 April 2013.
Finally Mario Draghi, called to lead the government by the President Sergio Mattarella at the beginning of 2021 and remained in office until October 2022, he had three great merits: having contributed to defeating the pandemic with the decisive appointment of General Figliuolo, having brought the Italian economy back to the glories of the economic miracle (+12% of GDP in two years!) and having restored great international credibility to Italy.
For all these reasons Ciampi, Monti and Draghi deserve the applause of all Italians who do not forget and who know how to distinguish truth from propaganda.
