A statement by the owner of a cafe-bar in Rome, in which until recently the Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi used to drink espresso, the political analysts of the country comment on these hours.
“Mr Draghi’s wife recently told me that in three months the Prime Minister will accept his offer and become President of the Republic,” said coffee owner Antonio Proieti, speaking on Rai radio.
“Mrs. Serenella Draghi, in fact, told me that it is not something that makes her happy, because with these new duties she will not have any free time.” “The prime minister’s favorite drink? “Spritz ‘Aperol” said Proieti. Asked by reporters, the Italian prime minister declined to comment and joked that he “prefers to drink squirt with Cabari”.
All this development has brought to the fore again the whole debate about the political future of Mario Draghi. Everyone is wondering again whether he will remain in the prime minister’s office until the parliamentary elections in the spring of 2023 or whether he will prefer to be elected president for a seven-year term next February.
Draghi, however, has limited himself to stating that all this gossip and any speculation makes no sense since the term of the current president, Sergio Matarella, has not yet ended.
