The consensus of public opinion was an essential factor in the success of Operation Mani Pulite.

The P2 also wanted Moro's death because it opened the door to the PCI. And Cossiga was powerless.

Looking back at Mani pulite, one realises, so it happened to me at least, that if one wants to achieve a result one cannot delegate the commitment to others. Instead, in Italy it was, and still is, in my opinion, as if the other powers had told the judiciary 'You take care of it', instead of committing themselves directly to the common good.
