Amazing. In the aftermath of the vote, the three God - Country - Family prevails over that of Work - Health - School. If this result were to be expected, we would really have to admit, a little "naively" (and we don't want Giorgia), that we were waiting for it but we didn't hope for it: but not because on the other side there were deserving excellences (maybe it was and had been ), far from it, but rather because Giorgia Meloni's triumph is neither more nor less than the predictable, and even less convinced, outcome of a little participated vote once again released "from the belly" on the wave of popular discontent, and destined to evaporate after the first months of government, if a Meloni-led government is able to articulate.

And, probably, not even the direct interested party would basically seem to want it considering the criticalities of the current reality that will force it, in spite of itself, to fade its political identity, if not to deny it, to align itself with the political line of the major European Chancelleries. To be clear: the Meloni government will in any event also be its "political grave" since one thing is "playing easy" in the opposition, interpreting the Struggle Party, another very different thing is exercising the powers of government without losing the '"soul". And our Giorgia Nazionale knows this: it is only a matter of time. If he were a shrewd politician, and we will soon find out, he would generously renounce the premier to favor the birth of a sort of penta-party in perfect Christian Democratic style that would download the decision-making responsibilities to a Collegial Body. But to do so, not only a political culture that Giorgia Meloni does not seem to have matured yet, but also a party awareness urges in wanting to abandon the profound values of a "Social Right" that can no longer interpret the changes taking place.

A deeper reflection on the results of this electoral round, however, appears extremely necessary to address it, if only because it was worth to consecrate the "political baptism", the real one, of Giuseppe Conte, deprived of his role as President of the Council of ministers from the spiteful Matteo Renzi who, in an attempt to reassess himself and his parliamentary role, had had the audacity to pilot "shack" and "puppets" at will only to put out a valid and respectable political competitor who in the course, both of Conte Uno and Conte Due, had managed, in spite of everyone, to be accredited among the various major European leaders for having interpreted the Progressive Left in a certainly more convincing way than the center-left of Enrico Letta who, in turn , in his stubbornly obsequious attitude towards a Mario Draghi represented as infallible Deus ex Machina, has certainly canceled himself condan setting the whole coalition to bankruptcy.

If Enrico Letta had advocated the persistence of the original "campo largo", this morning we would be telling another story (but the ways of politics are endless and the fear of a "fascist" return, which does not exist in reality, can still play its part and bring together the pieces of a puzzle with undefined edges).

If we think about it carefully, this, after all, is the story of all the major Western democracies split within them but vivid and alive on the outside at least in appearance. And it is precisely because of that appearance that in a few days, paradoxically, we could find ourselves with an appointed Right-Right government which, after all, may not have the strength to abandon the comfortable "windbreak" supported by the alleged international credibility by Mario Draghi: we will know this next 13 October, when the Chamber and Senate will have to meet, as the powers of the previous ones are extended for current affairs until the new Chambers are brought together. Admitted and not granted that by then the various political forces have managed to find a co-existence agreement, above all because of the "emergencies" linked to the preparation of the Budget Law and the NRP.

In short, everything could be very close to becoming, and nothing can be taken for granted. In the meantime, because building and articulating a government of a political nature is not easy even in light of the substantial and persistent differences within a coalition that sees the debacle of a League that will necessarily have to rearticulate itself internally in order to be efficient externally. , and the progressive death of Forza Italia, inevitably linked to the fate of a eagerly energetic president but now unable to re-interpret the Italian dream of rebirth for not having left room, within the party formation, for a structured leadership capable of making the Party itself survives its President.

Therefore, it is difficult for Giorgia Meloni herself to be the interpreter of a renewed line of foreign policy and / or economic policy, betraying the Italians precisely on the aspects of greatest social interest.

Finally, because even if it were possible to give life to a radical right-wing government expression of a female figure that is, after all, "unknown" on the decision-making level, however, the specter of Sergio Mattarella would gravitate to that same government with a dominant attractive force, who will not miss to exercise their decision-making capacity when choosing the personalities to be included in the representation of the most representative ministries of the national political line.

In short, in short, Giorgia Meloni could end up being just a mere representative figure with no real incident power, expression of a Premierate "without infamy and without praise" that from about 26 percent totaled at the outcome of these polls could soon bring it back to its original percentages. The rise and fall of a right-wing woman in government in layman's terms. It is the emergency that reigns supreme and Giorgia Meloni does not appear, at least immediately, capable of managing it satisfactorily, that is, in such a way as to satisfy the expectations of her electorate. All the more so when abstention prevented from fully savoring the preferences of the Italian people: let's face it, those who did not go to vote did so only to avoid having to cast any vote in betrayal of their disappointed political beliefs. Better a non-vote than any vote given out of pure and simple protest. The choice, deliberate and deeply thought out, not to go to the polls does not only concern the person who performs it but has direct and immediate political inferences when, being a widespread determination, it ends up reverberating on the level of the legitimacy of democratic institutions and of liberal system of parties. If Giorgia Meloni also obtained a majority among the voters, however, in consideration of the strong abstention, that majority does not guarantee her real legitimacy. It therefore has very little to rejoice. And if "the soup is not wet bread" in a few months we will return to the polls. And “who has had has had, and who has given has given”.
