The story of Francesco and Ilary’s breakup and the fall of the executive takes place in the same weeks. Here’s what happened
Two parallel crises. The end of the love between Francesco Totti and Ilary Blasi and the overthrow of the government led by Mario Draghi intersected that hot summer, conquering the front pages of the newspapers, the main news headlines and endless squabbles on Internet sites, managing to recover for months from the dramatic events of the war in Ukraine dominated spaces. The two crises occurred within a few days in the first half of July. But the prequel also sees a strange parallel. In fact, on February 21, Dagospia throws the first bomb: In Totti’s heart there would be a new woman, Noemi Bocchi. The news was denied shortly afterwards by Totti and Ilary via social media. In the same days, the winds of war are blowing in Ukraine (the Russian invasion begins on February 24), but Matteo Salvini has already raised one of the issues that will move the majority in the coming months: no to sanctions against Russia If not , as last possible, he says, creating quite a few tensions within the majority, even if the rupture is sparked by the 5-Star Movement for Aid.
From the end of February to today. For months, the war dominated most of the headlines. Then, on a hot July morning, on the 11th of the month, the rumor spread: at 7 p.m. Totti and Ilary made a joint statement announcing the separation. the end of the long love story. Communication will be two and separate, as two will become the couple’s paths: one on one side, one on the other. On the same day, the rift of the 5-Star Movement is accomplished, marking the beginning of the end of the Draghi government: in the chamber’s classroom, the Pentastellati do not vote on the aid decree (to which they had already commented positively last week) . The two crises roll over: two different press releases from Francesco and Ilary arrive late in the evening to announce the end of the marriage. At the same time, Mario Draghi goes to the Quirinale to take stock.
In the meantime, the resignation machinery has been set in motion. In the coming days there will be another missed vote by the 5 stars in the Senate, again on the aid decree, the formal steps into the chambers, the Prime Minister’s talks with the head of state. But now it’s too late for a patch. The government falls despite attempts by some majority forces to keep the executive branch on its feet. And immediately even the marriage between Francesco and Ilary seems irretrievable: Details about the real or alleged love stories and flirts of Totti with Noemi Bocchi and Blasi with the personal trainer Cristiano Iovino come to light. Every day a new detail emerges, just as every day new hypotheses of alliances, candidatures and power maneuvers appear on the political scene. Party leaders negotiate agreements and programs, Ilary and Francesco’s lawyers negotiate the division of the €100 million family empire. Voting will take place on September 25th. And who knows, maybe the announcement of the separation agreement will come in those days.
