The “trustworthy” economist who doesn’t like trivial discussions

Date:

The former ECB president, characterized by his seriousness and pragmatism, is preparing to leave the Italian government, given the unity of action he demanded from the fractured coalition parties

Where is Draghi? Somewhere else”. The joke has long accompanied the Italian Prime Minister. It was repeated by her peers for her ability to walk away when a trivial discussion arose. But yesterday it was not so. The debate in the Senate was not exactly banal and Mario Draghi resorted to other of his most important personality traits: seriousness and a predisposition not to waste time.He understood that with the absence of the M5E in the vote on the vote of confidence, the unity of action and the confidence that he had 17 months ago as a strategic asset to lead the Italian government was broken, and then he tendered his resignation.

Draghi was born in 1947 and the early death of his parents forced him to raise his two younger brothers when he was only 15 years old. He trained as an economist, taught at several universities and was appointed Director General of the Treasury in 1991. Considered a genius in economics and financial analysis, he became governor of the Bank of Italy fifteen years later. And in 2011 that of President of the European Central Bank.

“Confident”, “trustworthy”, “friendly”, the Prime Minister is a staunch pro-European and a politician who is deeply committed to his country. At the recent NATO summit in Madrid, he left the night before its closure because he needed to speak with the president, Sergio Matarella, about the issues of the day in the Council of Ministers and reassure him about his penultimate disagreement with Giuseppe Conte. Because of this responsibility to Italy, last year he took up the general request to take charge of a troublesome executive and try to rescue a country badly hit by the coronavirus and subject to the worst crisis since World War II. Nobody knows what sleeps. Yes, he has always loved to jog, read the paper and arrive at meetings with everything he had to memorize.
