In Prague the dear beloved Soviets
by

FIFTH COLUMN
Of Marcello Veneziani
Like today, in the night between 20 and the 21 August fifty years ago, Soviet tanks invaded Czechoslovakia and crushed the Prague Spring dream of freedom. They will talk about it adequately on TV and in the newspapers? They will also remember this shadowy side of '68? They will remember the infamy of those who defended them and took their side, as the Italian communists did? Or they'll say it's been too long now, and therefore we can talk about fascism and Nazism every day, dead 73 years ago, but we can no longer talk about communism, which is much more recent and present?
It should also be remembered that a part of the Italian communists dissociated themselves from the PCI and condemned the Russian invasion, as the Manifesto group did. But with a small detail: they did not dissent to embrace socialism with a human face but to pursue a much more inhuman socialism, the Chinese one, with Mao who with his cultural revolution was much bloodier than Stalin and Brezhnev. In a debate in a hall of the Chamber opened by Napolitano, a few years ago I remembered the silence of the PCI regarding the revolt, the contempt towards the insurgents and the silence of the party and L'Unità towards dissidents, come Jiri Pelikan, which was then "adopted" by Craxi's PSI. Fassino pointed out to me that, on the contrary, the PCI had supported Prime Minister Dubcek and socialism with a human face. Right, until Dubcek was in power, tolerated by the Soviet Union… But later, when the tanks arrived, and there was the revolt, an embarrassed silence fell and the orthodox thesis prevailed, supported precisely by the communist right of Amendola and Napolitano, that those who show solidarity with the insurgents are playing the usual lurking reaction game. The Italian communists aligned themselves with the Soviets, like in Budapest before, in '56, and to Gdańsk and Szczecin afterwards, in the '70s. Furthermore, we must not forget that until 1978 the funding for the PCI and L'Unità continued to come from the USSR, and the contributions from the Italian-Czechoslovak Association continued to arrive. That's how it was in '68, the Soviet tanks lost a few r and for the local communists they remained the dear beloved Soviets... Read More

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, Abbot and Doctor of the Church
by

In the night between 20 and the 21 August celebrates the greatness of this great Saint
At twenty-two he becomes a monk, taking with him about thirty relatives. The monastery is the one founded by Robert of Molesmes in Cîteaux (Cistercium in latino, hence Cistercians). A 25 years send him to found another in Clairvaux, uninhabited countryside, who becomes his and the monks' Clara Vallis. It's confidential, almost shy. But the character is there. Pope and Church are his fixed stars, but many ecclesiastics go against him. He is also severe with the monks of Cluny, in his opinion too smooth, with overly adorned churches, “while the poor is hungry”.
He asks his Cistercians for fewer functions, less reading and a lot of work. He hurls his plowing myths at uncultivated Europe, apostles with the hoe, who bring earth and water to order, and with them the animals, changing European history with effort and prayer. And him, the boss, he is often called upon for top missions, like when he travels throughout Europe to make Pope Innocent II recognized there (Gregorio Papareschi) undermined by the antipope Pietro de' Pierleoni (Anacleto II). And the schism ends, with the help of his prestige, of his persuasive force, but above all of his humility. This ascetic, but, he is not always able to appreciate those who explore other paths of faith. Bernardo harshly attacks the Trinitarian doctrine of Gilberto Porretano, bishop of Poitiers. And he condemns the teaching of Peter Abelard (professor of theology and logic in Paris) which heralds Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure. Read More

Salvini: «This government is scary. The strong powers will try to crush us"
by

Wall Street Journal: «Italy is a danger for the euro». Salvini: «The strong powers want to crush us»

According to the newspaper, the "danger" is represented by the "market shocks experienced last week on Italian debt and the new attacks against the European establishment by politicians in Rome"

Of Paola Di Caro

The first was Giancarlo Giorgetti about ten days ago: «I expect the attack, the markets are populated by hungry hedge funds who choose their prey and act". Parole, those of the Northern League undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council, that had shaken the political scene, and which were immediately collected by other government officials. Like Luigi Di Maio, who immediately said he was ready to react if the much-feared storm on the markets were to arrive: «If someone wants to use the markets against the government, know that we are not blackmailable. There is no Berlusconi at Palazzo Chigi who gave up for his companies".

The article from the American newspaper

Il 19 Matteo Salvini took up the theme of a possible assault on the government and the "Italian experiment" by international "strong powers" in August, with a stark warning: «They will try to crush us, but we will not retreat an inch. Almost as if to open a preventive polemical front, also - perhaps - in reaction to an article in the Wall Street Journal according to which the end of the "long marathon" to save Greece will mark "the closure of the Eurozone crisis", if it weren't for "Italy and the nagging fear that the euro isn't so stable after all". A "danger", the Italian one, represented by the «market shocks relived last week on Italian debt and the new attacks against the European establishment by politicians in Rome», which could lead to a "destabilizing capital flight". The financial newspaper explains that the decisive test will be in the autumn, when "the Italian populist government will have to present the budget law and explain how it will cover its expensive promises to voters".

Now the Democratic Party wants to indict Salvini: "Ai funerali claque pro governo"
by


“STATE ROSICONI”
GOVERNMENT APPLAUDED, LEFT BOOSTS. HE HAD NEVER SEEN HIMSELF AT A STATE FUNERAL.
At the state funeral, boos fly for the Democratic Party and applause for Salvini and Di Maio. The anger of the Renzians. And Anzaldi attacks: “The police immediately open an investigation”

“There would have been a noisy organized claque in support of the government”. In the aftermath of the funeral of the victims of dramatic collapse of Morandi Bridge in Genoa, the day before Michele Anzaldi is already ready to present a question to the Ministry of the Interior
After being inundated by whistles, the dems were convinced that what echoed yesterday in pavilion B of the Fair was not the case the anger of the victims of an announced disaster o, more generally, the anger from the Italians who they accuse the Democratic Party of having renewed the concessions to Autostrade per l'Italia, but one slap organized in support of the Conte government.
“But how can you think such things?”. Matteo Salvini is dismayed to hear the latest accusations made by the party which yesterday morning received a barrage of boos from the people present at the state funeral.

All the links between the Benettons and the left

From former prime minister Enrico Letta (and above all by two of his collaborators), passing through the former minister Paolo Costa, here are all the connections between the Benettons and the world of the Italian left
Of Francesco Curridori
Between the “controlled” and the “controller” there are a series of revolving doors through which former politicians move very nonchalantly from the public to the private sector, as demonstrated by the Atlantia case-Benetton.
The most famous case, Claudio Antonelli from La Verità explains in a long article, it is that of the former prime minister Enrico Letta That, after being crippled by Renzi, In the 2015 he became a professor at the Paris School of International Affairs. But not only that. Also in that year he was appointed member of the board of directors Abertis, Spanish giant intertwined with Atlantia which owns the majority of Autostrade per l'Italia. And it is precisely the Benetton company that started a takeover bid to acquire Abertis last summer, together with the German ACS. In this regard Enrico Letta, Yesterday, he replied in the newspaper edited by Maurizio Belpietro, having joined the Abertis board of directors “at the end of 2016 when this was a Spanish company, and before the hypothesis of a takeover bid on the Italian side was raised". “From Abertis – you need the former premier – I went out, voluntarily resigning, and giving public notice last May, exactly when ownership changed with the entry of Atlantia”. A choice made "precisely to avoid possible conflicts of interest with my previous functions as much as possible". Read More
