In the last decade, Italy has had six unelected prime ministers at the polls, and on average each one lasted a year and a half at the head of their respective governments: Mario Monti, Enrico Letta, Matteo Renzi, Paolo Gentiloni, Giuseppe Conte and, now Mario Dragui, who has been governing for 17 months, and yesterday presented his resignation, but the president did not accept it.
Seventeen months ago the pandemic had just hit Italy hard. Mario Dragui took a government almost of concentration due to the situation of the environment. The anti-establishment movement 5 Stars (M5E) endorsed it.
Italian politics is a laboratory of leadership whose traits are projected on the world.
The United States was surprised by the populist Donald Trump, but the Italians already knew some features of his profile thanks to Silvio Berlusconi. The first politician in history who concentrated three powers: economic, media and political.
If the comedian Jimmy Morales (2016-2020) ruled in Guatemala thanks to the fact that Otto Pérez Molina was overthrown by corruption, and in Ukraine the comedian Volodómir Zelenski currently rules, Italy also came forward; The 5 Star Movement was the most voted in the 2013 elections. Its leader was the comedian Beppe Grillo.
In that year, 2013, the M5E failed to form a government because it faced a coalition of parties that surpassed it in number of seats.
Now, 2022, it seems that the M5E is concerned about its decline after July 21, and after great internal tensions over the shipment of weapons to Ukraine, Luigi Di Maio, Foreign Minister (member of the M5E), announced his resignation from the party that, by the way, won the 2018 elections.
Di Maio took 60 deputies from the M5E to a new formation, leaving it in a very bad position for the general elections next year.
On July 5, Giussepe Conti, former Prime Minister (2018-2021), appears at the Chigi Palace, from the Executive, to present Draghi with a list of requests from the M5E that he considers basic to continue in the Executive, such as introducing the minimum wage or maintain a system of subsidies that he introduced when he governed.
Draghi told him that his proposals coincided with his own, but it was not enough. Conte wanted a lawsuit to reinforce the M5E. Dragui presented his economic plan in the Senate that included a confidence motion, and the M5E did not appear. He activated the nuclear button.
Italy enters a zone of political turbulence, a scenario to which it is accustomed, but if there were early elections, the formation with the greatest force is the one led by the far-right Giorgia Meloni through her Brothers of Italy party.
Another prank from the lab?
