If it is an alternative form of democracy or, instead, a pure and simple exercise of despotism, history will tell us. And we probably won't have to wait too long either. The hypothesis of a Mario Draghi at the Quirinale, as the "emeritus" successor of Sergio Mattarella, perhaps awarded "by acclamation", and of one of his faithful "collaborators" at Palazzo Chigi, as the privileged interpreter and executor of the "diktats" coming from the new potential "supreme chef" (the use of French is not at all casual unfortunately), would mark in fact and in fact the apotheosis of democratic defeatism and the definitive obscuring of every mechanism of control, regulation and counterweight of the powers of the State.
We are between a rock and a hard place: between the need to safeguard democratic principles both with respect to the innumerable pathologies of the system, and with respect to their very "two-faced" nature and, that (need to mean) to stem, by facing them, the crisis of politics considered in its subjective complex and in the more specifically organizational one. Yet, the "silent assent" on the institutional drift of the country seems to have become the cornerstone of current political action. Mario Draghi, in the few months that passed from the moment of his "forced" (allow me the expression) installation, has become the emblem of the uselessness of Parliament and its numerous representatives. Translated into a nutshell, and leaving aside unnecessary panegyrics, the election of the next Head of State could be flawed both in form and in substance. Meanwhile, because, in terms of form, we find ourselves managing accounts with candidates "indicated" before the vote and who seem to have accepted under the counter, and in advance, to be (Mario Draghi himself, as well as Silvio Berlusconi) only for test the field in advance and agree, perhaps, at a later time, on the respective roles. Therefore, because, on the level of substance, the choice of the Great Electors, and above all of the so-called snipers (more numerous than one can imagine), will inevitably be conditioned by the asphyxiated need to avoid returning to the polls in the near immediate future, with every degenerative consequence with respect to legitimacy in the exercise of preference since, in fact, we will indicate the One, and only the One (the She, in the circumstance, appears useless and illusory considering the lack of women sufficiently representative for the Office), who can continue to guarantee the stability of the current governance structure. Finally, because the hypothesis most renamed by the "de facto semi-presidentialism" with a Drago-Centric thrust even before Political-Berlusconi, constitutes, neither more nor less, than the extreme attempt to steal from the People, who remained Sovereign only on the secular definitional level , the only Power still dangerously exercisable: the vote.
