Rome, 15 July 2022 – Social and web inundated by meme on the government crisis. Protagonists the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella e Mario Draghi, yesterday face to face twice on a very hot day that formalized the crisis and the resignation of the premier. There are those who post a photo of Mattarella who appeals to Obi Wan Kenobi in this new difficult moment for Italian politics: “You are my only hope” says the President of the Republic with his eyes turned to the Star Wars character. Mattarella also ends up in a montage, where he is talking to Orietta Berti, ready to go up to the Quirinale, or he appears a little disconsolate: “And this summer too I see the sea in a postcard”.
Space then to the resigning Mario Draghi: “Good morning and in case I don’t see you again, good afternoon, good evening and good night”, reads a quote in the photo of the premier who smiles with open arms. There are those who instead post a Draghi version of the pin, hit by the bowling ball thrown by Vladimir Putin. Alongside Draghi there are also Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron. Also a meme with Draghi and Giuseppe Conte, the architect of the government crisis. The leader of the Five Star Movement yells at the prime minister: “Mario, you’re joking aside …”.
