Baptists and those radical chic living rooms stained with blood
by Alessandro Sallusti
Cesare Battisti, fugitive in Brazil and awaiting extradition, he is not just a multiple murderer who escaped from Italian prisons in 1981 with two life sentences under his belt.
Battisti is first and foremost the flag of the diehards of a monstrous season, that of the political terrorism that bloodied Italy in the seventies and eighties. Not just comrades in arms who - more or less - have somehow paid their dues with justice. Battisti - who was more of a criminal than a terrorist - is above all the flag of intellectuals, journalists and politicians nostalgic for that crazy revolutionary dream even though they all ended up well placed in democracies, in the boards of directors and in the living rooms that at the time they intended to demolish with words and bullets.

Roma, 14 Jan – He usually posts at least one or two posts a day from his Facebook page. Yesterday instead we witnessed the embarrassing silence from Roberto Saviano, not a word on the capture of Cesare Battisti. The reason why the writer decided not to comment on such important news is simple: In the 2004 signed an appeal by "intellectuals" who asked for the release of the red terrorist, at the time detained in France. To tell the truth, the “cosmopolitan bard” was in good company, among others, the then Green MP signed with him Paolo Cento, Christian Raimo and Vauro.
The Italian ambassador Bernardini: democracy is stronger than terrorism
Claudio Baglioni is increasingly under fire for his words on immigration and the government's choices to combat it. The New Trolls case comes up
Displaced by the Waldensian Church which decided to adopt fifteen migrants who landed in Malta, that is, one for each Waldensian, Pope Bergoglio he brought together the magical-curial circle and made a decision: we will give, Catholic Church, citizenship income for migrants, given that the government procrastinates and is rather reluctant to extend it to them as well. Open up heaven. Panic among the priests and nuns, general stampede. Already when he launched the idea of an adoption in the parish, the response was a half-failure. But now the turning point is radical, it directly involves the Holy See and this time it is really challenging, not like what happened with the refugees from the Diciotti ship who from the Vatican pretended to take charge of a hundred migrants, great rhetoric on welcome and humanitarian gesture, but then they let them leave the center of Ariccia. This time it will touch thousands of people. To get citizenship income, which the Pope wanted to rename in a Christian way the "redeemed citizen", all you need to do is submit an application to Caritas, have the requirements, that is, having nothing and running away from everything. It makes sense to be black, come from very far away, be Islamic. The poor locals and the homeless who stay in the Vatican colonnade are excluded, distance yourself from the papa-vigilantes. However, the benefited migrants will have to attend, of your choice, a parish, a mosque or a community center. On the third refusal, as for the government citizen income, their subsidy will be revoked.
