How much noise for this newborn Meloni Government . And it is not even clear whether the exultation and the apparent international respect are due to the fact that the President of the Council of Ministers is a woman, and moreover inserted in a center-right coalition, or to the merit of the newly appointed person or, instead , and this seems more probable, if those acclamations are due, to the sole fact that Giorgia Meloni, in any case, will not be able to deviate from the path already traced by Mario Draghi , that is to say from his cumbersome predecessor. And if so, nihil novum sub sole?
Which, translated, would mean: what would the few Italians who went to the polls have voted to do if they wanted to change everything and then find themselves at the starting line? Because, if the assumptions of the opposition exercised in Parliament and those of the period immediately preceding the election campaign had as cornerstones the arguments concerning the need to have "naval blockades" (as this was the terminology used) as well as that of keeping a hard line towards a Europe with respect to which the criticality indices were of increasing intensity since it was almost conceived as a "usurper" (allow the term only for expressive-argumentative purposes) of national sovereignty, then, perhaps, something would seem not to return.
It would be a question of maintaining a coherent attitude : certainly difficult to share, but at least one would not have the impression that he wanted to vote on the right to wake up with an almost left-wing political stance.
We speak in terms of impressions, it is true, and only the results of this experience of government will be able to shed light on the merits and demerits of the one who is defined as the first Italian woman President of the Council of Ministers.
What is certain is that the Italians could not tolerate having voted "A" only to end up with "B". And, to say it all, precisely that "B", that is what appears as an alternative, seems to announce itself to be decisive on the fate of the newborn government, destined, perhaps, to be evanescent and uncertain due to the centrifugal and centripetal action coming from both from the nerve center of their own line-up and from the left-handed "periphery", anxious to capitalize on the momentarily lost consensus, regaining them by rebound.
