Matteo Renzi sponsors the rise of Silvia Salis so as to weaken Conte and Schlein. The Engineer is pushing to replace Meloni with a technical government.
Carlo De Benedetti in Nostradamus version predicts that soon Giorgia Meloni it will be swept away. In an interview with Lilli Gruber aired on Thursday evening, the Engineer spat venom against the Prime Minister, defined, in less than half an hour of lounge chatter on A7“a first-rate liar”, “clouded”, “childish” and “slaved on her knees by Trump».
Because the former master of Olivettiwho placed old teleprinters at the Ministry of Posts in exchange for bribes, is so angry with the Prime Minister, it is not known but one can imagine. In fact, one suspects that it is because Melons does not invite him in the morning to have breakfast in the golden rooms of Palazzo Chigi as he did instead Matteo Renzi. Who, over a coffee and a croissant, blurted out news to him about upcoming reforms, such as the one on cooperative banks. Thanks to that confidence, revealed to his broker as soon as he left there, De Benedetti he earned 600,000 euros in an instant, as the judicial investigation would later ascertain, which however – coincidentally – did not find any crime in the Engineer’s behaviour.
The nostalgic axis with Matteo Renzi
Returning to the TV appearance of the now more than ninety-year-old entrepreneur, what is striking, however, is not the bile spat against Melonsbut his predictions on what could happen soon. The Nostradamus with Swiss citizenship (but with a wonderful estate in the Langhe) predicts the imminent expulsion of the Prime Minister, hit by an international crisis. According to the former owner of Republicthe shock we are facing is similar to that of 1973, with the Yom Kippur war, but according to him with even worse effects.
From the comfort of his residence and from the height of his presumption, the Engineer predicts a catastrophic scenario and, “since we have a political class overall that is not particularly equipped”, Melons it will be swept away. «And at this point?», a gloating woman urged him Lilli Gruber. “Well, Mattarella he will be forced to find a president of the technical council, but also a political one” he replied De Benedettievoking the hypothesis of a government of national unity. He himself explained what this meant immediately afterwards: «We are missing a Winston Churchill who has the courage to tell the country that blood and tears are needed.”
From the Monti government to the new palace plots
In practice, we are at the re-edition of the operation Mountainswith which Giorgio Napolitano placed the former rector of Bocconi in government, liquidating the executive led by Silvio Berlusconi. Even then, in some way, the Engineer had a hand, because before accepting the job but immediately after understanding what the intentions of the head of state were, Mountains he went around the powers that be, consulting precisely De Benedetti. In practice, someone from above was preparing to give the boot to a democratically elected government to impose undemocratic measures on the Italians. All this obviously without going through elections and without allowing the sovereign people to express their opinion.
Now, according to the Engineer, everything is ready for the encore. Drop Giorgia Meloni to impose someone who does the dirty work like then, with cuts and taxes. For the first tile of PD (as soon as the Democratic Party was born, De Benedetti rushed to register) the primaries, the elections, the candidacies are not important, because everything must be left to Mattarella. Everything is in his hands. That is, in the hands of a President of the Republic transformed into a monarch, who, despite never having been chosen by the Italians, has now reigned on the Hill for more than eleven years and at the end of his mandate will go down in history with a mandate of 14, a record never seen in Western democracies.
The historical fallibility of the Engineer
But returning to De Benedettionly one thing consoles us and that is that he never got there with the predictions. Ever since he contemptuously refused to do business with Steve Jobs and then move on to his climb to Société Générale de Belgique (where before being kicked out he said: «I came to blow the whistle at the end of recess»), the Engineer has a long list of wrong predictions. The last one is really about Melonswhich in 2022 he predicted would be short-lived, because Berlusconi he would never have agreed to be her “page boy” and would have walked away. As we know, it didn’t go like this, but it’s better to know the grudges of the man who has messed with power for a lifetime, because we understand what plots the power is aiming to hatch, perhaps taking advantage of some former prime minister looking for revenge.
