by

Like yesterday for the foibe, forced to look for a media space among the "casual" demonstrations of the left against the right, today for Porzus.
Today in Faedis and Canebola the 73rd anniversary commemoration ceremonies were held of the Porzus mountain hut massacre, with the attempt to rediscover a shared memory.

We are the only country where the ruling class is rooting for Italy to default
by

Giulio Sapelli
“There is a middle ground between apocalyptic and integrated. The situation is a little more usual than what is represented in Italy by the coryphei, starting with Padoan, who support the Troika. If we look at the international press, for example El Paìs from the day before yesterday: there was a photo of the Spanish economy minister with Moscovici and inside there was a very neutral title that said: we begin negotiations with the EU on the budget law which will exceed the 2,7% and there was a little article in which they said what Moscovici's positions were.

Italy-EU clash, parla l'economista Bifarini: "E' il momento dell'Italexit"
by

After the definitive rejection of the maneuver by the European Commission with the prospect of the opening of infringement proceedings against Italy for excessive deficit, Many people are wondering which path to take. At this point, what should be done? Come to terms with Brussels as the Minister of European Affairs Paolo Savona seems to be asking, or move forward with the wall against the wall as Salvini and Di Maio ask instead? And above all, whether or not the time for a definitive break has arrived, perhaps starting that path towards exit from the euro that many have hoped for? The Special he asked the economist Ilaria Bifarini.
 
It makes sense to still seek an agreement with the European Union on the maneuver?
“I believe at this point that the conditions no longer exist. There is a fury on the part of the European Union towards Italy which is motivated more by ideological and political reasons than by economic issues. The deficit spending envisaged by this maneuver is absolutely in line with what was implemented by previous governments, indeed even lower.

Franco Bechis: “Renzi and Gentiloni have put Italy in trouble”
by

View source image(by Franco Bechis) – Italy is officially in trouble, because yesterday the European Commission started the procedure for excessive debt. He did this by writing a report 21 pages, which contains a surprise: the formal basis of the dispute has little or nothing to do with the maneuver of the government led by Giuseppe Conte, because it is relative to the result of the public debt over the years 2016 e 2017. So it was Matteo Renzi and Paolo Gentiloni who got Italy into trouble. The infringement procedure is the Democratic Party's last wonderful gift to Italians.
Here is the key passage from that document: “Based on reported data and autumn forecasts 2018 of the Commission, Italy did not respect the debt reduction parameter in 2016 (gap del 5,2% of GDP) or in 2017 (gap del 6,6% of GDP)”. And again: “overall, Italy's lack of compliance with the debt reduction benchmark in 2017 provides evidence of the prima facie existence of an excessive deficit within the meaning of the Stability and Growth Pact, considering all the factors as set out below. Furthermore, based on government plans and autumn forecasts 2018 of the Commission, Italy should not meet the debt reduction benchmark in 2018 or in 2019”.

Maneuver failed, Becchi speaks: "Siamo sotto attacco. E' l'ora dei minibot"
by

The European Commission has definitively rejected the economic measure and now the process has begun that should lead to the opening of infringement proceedings against Italy for excessive deficit. The "possibilists" make their way in the government, led by the Minister of European Affairs Paolo Savona, that is, those who would be ready to tweak the maneuver to favor a negotiation with Brussels while avoiding the procedure. But at this point the government can afford to go back? No, according to the philosopher Paolo Becchi, interviewed by Lo Speciale.
Minister Savona speaks of a serious situation and seems to be open to possible changes. This is truly the right path?
“I am surprised by some statements put into the mouth of Paolo Savona and which would demonstrate a desire to rewrite the maneuver. I find it very strange that he could have pushed himself to make such decisions. I think the Government shouldn't change anything, because this maneuver represents the minimum wage. If there is a risk of an infringement procedure, the deficit should even be increased, not diminished. I say this because it is not Italy that is in the wrong, but Europe".

by

by Angelo Romano
Illicit waste trafficking. This is the accusation from the Catania Prosecutor's Office, led by Prosecutor Carmelo Zuccaro, towards Doctors Without Borders Belgium and the Netherlands, at the end of the “Bordless” investigation. Others are under investigation with them 12 people: 8 representatives of the NGO in various capacities, First Officer Oleksandr Yurchenko and Aquarius Commander, Eugenii Talanin, and the two shipping agents contacted for waste disposal activities once landed in the ports. The accusation is of having systematically shared, planned and executed an illegal project for the disposal of a large quantity of infectious waste (healthcare and otherwise), produced on the Vos Prudence and Aquarius ships following migrant rescue activities, together with municipal solid waste, on the occasion of technical stops and the disembarkation of migrants, despite the "numerous and documented cases of diseases recorded by the various Maritime Health Offices in Sicily and Southern Italy which intervened at the time of the migrants' arrival in Italian ports" in which they were "detected 5.088 health cases at infectious risk (scabies, meningitis, tuberculosis, AIDS and syphilis) are 21.326 migrants landed". Precisely this last aspect has been highlighted by politicians, institutional representatives and some newspapers that, when they spread the news, they talked about waste at risk of infection, suggesting a potential spread of dangerous epidemics and fueling a new narrative on NGOs: after being referred to as "sea taxis" and accused of "destabilizing” the Italian economy, now they have been accused of being potential plague spreaders.
