Monti wants to be remembered as the prime minister who saved Italy from disaster. He does not want to go down in history as the prime minister who had to surrender Italy’s sovereignty to save the country from default.
既然如此，为什么蒙蒂无所作为？一个可能的原因是个人尊严。蒙蒂希望以带领意大利走出灾难的总理被人铭记。他不愿意在历史上留下将为避免主权违约而将意大利主权拱手出让的总理的名声。另一个解释是蒙蒂确实怀有政治野心。尽管其执政只能维持到大选，但他可能会在新议会的支持下谋求留任。
