“We need to change the form of government” – Corriere.it

“Sixty-eight governments in 76 years of republic, improbable majorities in permanent check of parties and small parties, politics that does not take responsibility for its actions and for the promises made during the continuous electoral campaigns. Result: immobile and impoverished Italy, bringing up the rear in Europe on all key parameters. It is not difficult to deduce that the only solution to relaunch our beloved country is to change the form of government, to resolve the vices of parliamentarianism, the instability and inconclusiveness of governments, and to build a decisive and stable democracy”: to intervene Nicola Drago, managing director of De Agostini Publishing.

Born in 1978, Drago is an expression of the entrepreneurial world of the North. Two daughters, a master’s degree in business administration from Columbia University, Drago followed the family tradition, being appointed vice president of the De Agostini group in 2021. Also in 2021 awarded as entrepreneur of the year. Now, in addition to the financial world, the decision to promote institutional reforms firsthand. “For over 40 years, politics has been talking about the need for institutional reforms, but it has never managed to reform itself and it is very unlikely that it will succeed, despite attempts by the bicameral, bipartisan initiatives and projects of the countless majorities that have followed one another over the decades. So…? All we have to do is do it as citizens, as we are used to committing ourselves every day to our work to achieve small and large goals. For this reason, together with some very capable and willing people, including entrepreneurs, constitutional lawyers and communication experts, we founded ioCambio (www.iocambio.it)”, writes Drago in a post on Linkedin.

No party, therefore, but a path of participation from below: “We have worked out the solution to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people and create a great reformist movement, absolutely non-partisan and with a strong entrepreneurial drive, which will lead to a referendum on the best form of government for our country. To relaunch Italy, to make it stable and manageable”, explains the entrepreneur.
