Tight deadlines, concrete interventions, unity as a necessary North Star.

The first days of the Mario Draghi government

could travel on this triple track, looking, first of all, at the programmatic speech that the former governor of the ECB will hold this week in the Chambers.

A speech in which the prime minister will focus on the country's emergencies, starting with those related to the pandemic.

With a knot that, in the next few days, Draghi will be called upon to resolve: whether to confirm - and with which powers - Commissioner Domenico Arcuri, Giuseppe Conte's right arm in the anti-virus strategy of the previous government.

In fact, following the oath of the new government, the country immediately wakes up with a new, very heated, controversy on the bank of closures.

The "total lockdown" announced by the consultant to Minister Roberto Speranza, Walter Ricciardi, and the stop to skiing until March 5 decreed by the Ministry of Health see the most open-minded of the governing parties, the Lega, in the trenches.

Scorched by the reconfirmation of Speranza, Matteo Salvini - with a possible axis with Iv - will hardly accept that of Arcuri, the number enemy of the Northern League together with the Minister of Health and Lucia Azzolina.

And the "team change" requested by the Lega group leaders could also involve the same CTS.

But the stop to the plants immediately puts the first urgency on the table of Palazzo Chigi: the refreshment decree, which will be able to count on the 32 billion of the January budget variance, must be substantially rewritten.

Directing many resources to the production and hotel sector linked to skiing.

And then there is the communicative aspect.

"The sobriety that Draghi himself asked of us ministers in the CDM applies to everyone", explains a government source, pointing the finger at Ricciardi's words.

Draghi will be faced with the difficult coordination of CTS experts, technical ministers and political ministers, expressions of 5 different political forces.

And, again Draghi, it will be up to identify the difficult point of balance on the team of undersecretaries.

The game, according to qualified government sources, will be closed within the week, at the latest on Friday.

The boxes to be filled are different and, as for those of the government, not all of them would be intended for politicians.

According to the Undersecretary for Publishing, for example, Draghi is thinking - according to various government sources - of a technical figure, expert in the sector.

While the delegation to the secret services, on which Renzi drew up his plan to defenestrate Conte, could return to the premier's hands.

The parties, meanwhile, are trampling.

Their goal is to bring some "big guys" as deputy technical ministers.

By focusing above all on profiles that have already been in government, an element that Draghi himself would like.

Here then is that Laura Castelli and Antonio Misiani could be reconfirmed at Mef.

Vito Crimi, according to some government sources, could end up in Justice led by Marta Cartabia and also in the aims of FI and IV.

And the M5S also looks to MIT and the Ministry of Ecological Transition.

Giancarlo Cancelleri aims to reconfirm the first, strong also from the protest of Sicily, so far absent in the executive.

The second could end a big governor like Stefano Buffagni.

The League looks to the Interior Ministry, perhaps bringing back a true Salvinian like Nicola Molteni to the Interior while in the Democratic Party it holds the pink quota case.

Therefore, all the Dem undersecretaries of Conte II seem to be heading towards reconfirmation, perhaps with some new entries.

And then there is the Recovery dossier, which Draghi will develop in very close coordination with the EU.

At the moment of a real control room there is no trace but a structure for monitoring should be there while the interministerial committee which with Conte was chaired by Enzo Amendola will be led by Roberto Cingolani.

Recovery which will certainly be one of the pillars of Draghi's speech to the Chambers, together with the vaccine plan for teaching in times of Covid.
