Once again, you want to read into my words what you want to read and not what I wrote. Conte wrote in his CV that he had been a visiting professor/scholar at some foreign universities, while it appeared that he had only visited universities (a curious case was at the University of Vienna, where he said he had spent time as a visiting professor, instead he went there for English classes). In the online resume he made available when he was a professor and had just begun his political career, he also claimed to be a follower of Padre Pio of Petralcina (I am going from memory here). All rather ridiculous, but largely inoffensive. I wrote that his profile was not even comparable to that of Monti and Draghi (despite my dislike of techno-euro-bureaucrats). You wrote, "Almost nobody knows him before being a puppet in the agreement between M5S and Lega." Here you are wrong: not "almost no one" but "no one" knew him. But the fact that he was a puppet is contradicted by his quick takeover of the M5S reins. His experience as premier has been average, which was partly surprising, since he is far from being a political talent (I don't know about his tenure), but it is hard to see today (after Monti, unfortunately, since he was a "big name" he was given leeway that turned out to be disastrous) catastrophic leadership: there is a very narrow corridor defined by the EU along which a European government can walk. Your commentary seems to me to be overall infused with bitterness (Stamina and the NoVax movement have nothing in common, apart from some weirdos who manage to jump from one conspiracy to another) and broad strokes that are not conducive to reasoned conversation. If Conte, whom I repeat I did not vote for, do not like, etc., is to be condemned, what to make of former German premiers Schroeder and Merkel, whose pro-Russian leadership and sentiment-based policy of open borders caused humanitarian and financial disasters? What about Sarkozy and his bombing of Libya? What about Boris Johnson and his dastardly decisions during the pandemic? What about Sanna Marin and his parties in the very first months of the Russian invasion of Ukraine? The decisions made by his government may or may not be to your liking, but at the European level there have been, in the consequences of government actions, many worse leaderships.
