The news destined to give the political imprint to the day is given, surprisingly, by a panda. Just concluded the meeting with Mario Draghi is Donatella Bianchi, president of the WWF, to announce that “there will be a ministry of ecological transition". It is the conclusion of a journey started in the morning with unnamestatement by Beppe Grillo who from his blog asks for “a Super-Ministry for the ecological transition that merges the skills for economic development, energy and the environment”. A request that takes on weight with the passing of hours and events, so much to become the tip of the balance of the Yes or No of the Five Stars to the Draghi government, with all due respect to the vote on Rousseau - suspended pending developments - and the frond of the hard-and-pure who do not want to know about seeing the former president of the ECB at Palazzo Chigi.
Draghi, Bianchi says at the end of the meeting with the president in charge, would like how "Optics, perspective, the centrality of the green transformation that should be transversal to other policies". Stefano Ciafani, president of Legambiente, echoes her, according to whom Draghi was very attentive to the words of the associations. The pentastellate reactions arrive in an avalanche: "excellent news, an important innovation for the benefit of Italy proposed by Beppe Grillo, who as always knows how to look far away" he says Luigi Di Maio and Riccardo Fraccaro first recalls how the Movement has "put sustainability at the center, starting with the Superbonus at 110%", then that "to relaunch the country it is necessary to combine growth and environmental protection".
The choir of M5s parliamentarians speaks of "a radical and fundamental proposal to revolutionize the environmental policy of our country". “Protecting the environment that surrounds us means investing in our future and improving the quality of the agri-food excellence of our made in Italy. In fact, we cannot speak of environmental protection without linking its benefits to the world of agriculture and fishing. Indeed, the latter must continue to exist at the center of political action, by virtue of the important role they play both in terms of employment and for the development of our country ”, conclude the penstastellati members of the Agriculture Commission. But what is and how does it work - at least in other countries, the ministry invoked by the Grillini and on which it seems that Draghi has opened up? In proposing a Ministry for Ecological Transition that brings together the competences of Environment and Development, Beppe Grillo he pointed to the example of France, Spain, Switzerland and Costa Rica (AGI).
