N°11-01/03/2021 Mario Draghi is now the head of the Italian government. His arrival delighted the financial markets.
His CV and his career in the service of capital speak volumes; it's not hard to imagine the policy he will implement. He belongs to the "Group of Thirty"; this private organization is formed by the main international economists and financiers who advocate that the recovery, after the pandemic,“Should not be done indiscriminately, only profitable companies should be supported, leaving others to their fate.",drain all public resources for the benefit of competitive companies in international markets, institute austerity policies, accelerate privatizations. To implement this, Daniele Franco, number two of the Bank of Italy, gets the Ministry of Economy!
Almost all of the major Italian political parties have given their support to the former president of the European Central Bank (ECB). Macron dreams of it, Draghi has made it! The new government brings together representatives of the entire Italian political landscape and technocrats.
A team ranging from the Democratic Party (PD, center left) to the far-right League of Matteo Salvini via the right-wing Forza Italia party of Silvio Berlusconi. The so-called anti-system 5 Star Movement (M5S) has given the green light, thus removing the last obstacle to a government of national unity. All these political groups have negotiated their ministerial portfolios!
Italy, the third largest economy in the EU, relies heavily on 200 billion euros in European funds, which will be combined with radical reforms against the Italian people to further beef up the profits of multinationals.
Let us remember the drastic austerity measures taken against Greece by the ECB and Mario Draghi with the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund, forming the famous "troika" to bleed the Greek people with the complicity of Alexis Tsipras, Prime Minister at the head of a government dominated by Syriza.
There can be no solution for the peoples of Europe and of the world in a capitalist system. The only solution lies in the struggles, which will only take on their full meaning by tackling the root of the problems: that is, the capitalist system of exploitation. This is the path taken by the Communist Party which calls for action against the Draghi government: "NO TO THE DRAGHI GOVERNMENT NO TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BANKS AND TO THE EUROPEAN UNION, NATIONAL MOBILIZATION THROUGHOUT ITALY SATURDAY FEBRUARY 27. The whole country "seems" in the hands of Draghi:almost all parliamentary groups, left and right, confederal unions and confindustria (Italian employers’ federation), the United States and the European Union, the Central Bank and NATO ...Precisely because we want the good of the Italian people and those who make a living from their work, we will take to the streets against this government of bankers and finance, which has never been so alien to the real interests of our country."
