S.and the key word of 2020 was resistance and that of 2021 restart, the challenge of 2022 will be resistance.
The estate is the great underrated of public life. Italians tend to fall in love with leaders and then tire of them after a few months; or perhaps it is the leaders themselves who are failing.
At the Olympics we won the marathon and the walk; at the Tokyo Games we won the 100 meters and the fast relay, thanks to a star who a minute later disappeared from the radar and never took to the track again (the reconfirmation of Marcell Jacobs will be one of the most interesting sealing tests of the coming year).
As for football, the national team has shown little of it, and after the European triumph will be forced into a difficult play-off to win a place at the November World Cup in Qatar.
In the same month, Joe Biden will have to give his proof of tightness: risks losing the majority in Congress, two years after conquering the White House.
As for Italy, all party leaders say that Draghi cannot go to the Quirinale; I’ll be wrong, but it seems to me a sign that Draghi will be able to go to the Quirinale, where, however, he would be called to play a different role from the current one.
If that were the case, it would be right and reasonable for a woman to become prime minister in her place. If, on the other hand, Draghi does not go up the hill, having a female head of state would fill a historical gap.
The Italians are equipped with sealing, as we have seen on every occasion and every generation: the Great War, the Resistance, the Reconstruction, the pandemic.
Now we are all called, women and men, to take care of the Earth, of the human species, of Italy, who have seldom been so in trouble. The impulses, the inspiration, the imagination, the strokes of genius, the tests of strength are not enough; you need continuity, method, effort.
It serves seal.
