Sergio Mattarella
in his studio at the Quirinale, assisted by his closest collaborators,
will also be the speech of the dismissal
.
An intervention that the Head of State will define until the last useful moment before recording in front of the Rai cameras.
An intervention that will then be broadcast, as usual, on the 31st evening on all national TVs, with unified networks. The rehearsals have already begun, the location should be that of the studio in the Palazzina, probably it will not be behind the desk but sitting in an armchair or even standing up, with a television journalism "stand up". And with a simple background, characterized by the inevitable tricolor flag and that of the European Union.
National identity and pride together with the concept of responsibility, with a strong encouragement to a country that has the moral and competent tools to get out of the pandemic crisis and all its negative consequences. This should be the thread of the president's speech. A thread that intertwines the Italian identity with the need for strong social cohesion, a cohesion that he also asks of the political forces in the management of this delicate phase of national life.
In the president's reasoning, the individual responsibilities in dealing with this infinite health crisis and the responsibilities of politics in knowing how to read the devastating impact on citizens and the economy intersect. Conveying this perspective, Mattarella takes his leave at the end of an intense seven-year period. A leave announced in various public interventions in the last part of the year, and which seems to remove the hypothesis of an encore at the Colle. Not without failing to encourage all Italians: which is also the fil rouge of his final part of the presidency, because Mattarella closes his commitment, proud of the country's response, of being on the march despite everything. A journey that must not be interrupted for vested interests or, much less,for premature electoral calculations of the parties.
All this is accompanied by the inevitable concern for the pandemic emergency which is worsening without interruption precisely in politically and institutionally very delicate moments, forcibly oriented to the month of January, to the near future of the Republic, to the election of its successor and to the estate. of the system.
