The other day, having read the sentence “If Draghi goes to the Quirinale, we will leave the government and vote,” we did not even look for the author; it was so clear that it was B. Instead, Enrico Letta commented: “I cannot believe that he said it; now he will deny it.”
In fact, B. has not denied anything. One of the two: o Letta jr., is he suffering from global amnesia (hopefully transient), or he takes us all for a ride. Because there is no phrase that more resembles B. than that: political blackmail typical of the old rogue who has been involved in politics since he officially did not do it or rather did it through Craxi.
He blackmailed the Caf with his TVs to obtain the anti-praetorian decrees and the Mammì law for his TVs. Then, taking the field, he continued to blackmail his allies (those few) who were unwilling to vote his laws ad person am by threatening to have him shot by his newspapers and TV.
The threat that worked very well even with opponents (those few). In fact, the center-left never dared to declare it ineligible (as it is for the law 361/1957), nor cancel a single one of its laws ad person am, nor implement the sentence of the Consulta against Rete4.
When the bipolarity ended, and the broad agreements (Monti, Letta jr., Renzi, and then Draghi) started, the blackmail was even simpler. As soon as he needed something for his business, he threatened the crisis and gave it to him. Nor implement the ruling of the Consulta against Rete4.

In 2013, between the sentence in the Supreme Court (1 August) and the expulsion from the Senate (27 November), Napolitano blackmailed for months with the weapon of the government crisis to have pardon without asking for it and forcing the Democratic Party to vote against his forfeiture as a senator, moreover imposed by the Severino law also voted by him.
When Letta then went to the Chambers for trust, B. announced the No. But Letta, in his speech, gave in to blackmail: he promised him the “reform of justice” and invited the Senate Board to “avoid votes contra personas.”
So B. changed his mind in extremis to continue blackmailing him disguised as the father of the country: “Italy needs a government. We decided, not without pain, for trust”. And read from the government desk, she burst into laughter: “Great!”
So, please, what are you surprised at today? And how surprised Rep, outraged by Berlusconi’s “blackmail” as if it were the first? From 2018 to 2020, with the two Conte governments, B. was out of the game because, for the first time in 50 years, she could no longer blackmail anyone. In fact, the Corruption Sweep, the prescription lock, and the handcuffs were passed to the tax evaders.
Then in February, the Innominabile, supported by Rep and the other journalists, overthrew Conte and Draghi arrived, bringing the Caiman back to the government with a lot of elbows. And he went back to politics in the only way he knows: blackmail.
