Mario Draghi is fed up with staying in Palazzo Chigi and is ready to leave the government before the end of the legislature. Maurizio Belpietro is convinced of this in his article published in La Verità, in which he reveals that the former central banker “cannot wait to escape and take the place of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg”. The mandate of the Atlantic Alliance’s number one has expired and has not yet been replaced, only because of the war in Ukraine which led to an extension of his post. The rumor, which is circulating vigorously, is that an Italian should fill that seat, and practice dictates that a former prime minister be chosen for the post. And the extension of Stoltenberg’s mandate appears to have been driven by Draghi’s desire to become a dame but having to attend to his final commitments as Italy’s prime minister.
With this plan, which would not lead to his resignation in August before the vote of the budget law in July, and thus anticipating the times with an approval before the summer break, it is possible to better understand Draghi’s behavior in the last weeks of the war between Russia and Ukraine. “The hard line on Russia is necessary for the US to say yes. The goal would be born after Colle’s dream has evaporated and especially after the extra time of the Norwegian playing his game, “Belpietro analyzes Draghi’s moves.
Il Fatto Quotidiano also agrees: “The prime minister is devastated by US positions towards Russia. In the week that has just ended, it has once again decided not to follow the FrancoGerman axis but, despite its many silences, to mark a closer relationship with the United States. While Emmanuel Macron took a position on Biden’s comments on the “genocide” in Ukraine, the German Olaf Scholz halted his trip to Kyiv after Volodymyr Zelenskyj called the President of the Republic FrankWalter Steinmeier de facto “persona non grata”. Draghi, as happened when Joe Biden called Vladimir Putin a “butcher,” did not comment.” The parts are slowly falling into place and Draghi is ready for the NATO adventure.
