Fairy tales and the fear of not being loved
by

Reporting of BastaBugie editorial team
Fairy tales are where we keep monsters (ad es.: resentment because others seem to be loved more than us)
Of Silvana De Mari

Fairy tales arise by themselves, no one knows where, choral and anonymous; they evolve bit by bit, they travel through centuries and across places, undergoing all possible modifications, but always remaining the same. Fairy tales have fantastic and magical protagonists and must not exceed the space of an afternoon spent by the fire and, above all, that of one evening, because their main job is to fill the “before going to bed”, so that the child can drift off to sleep lulled by the adult's voice, without the monsters that live inside the darkness being able to disturb him. Monsters are the fear of not being loved, the resentment of not being loved, jealousy because others are or seem to be loved more than us. Fairy tales are where we keep monsters. As Kafka intuits, fairy tales are the gold and silver boxes where we keep monsters.
The monsters are unspeakable. Negative emotions are not always allowed for children, especially to those who would have the most reason to have it: therefore it is appropriate to hide them inside a fairy tale and try them out through a third party, identifying with the main character. Read More

Other than free and equal: Grasso is already at the corner. And D'Alema and Bersani make the lists

Report Linkiesta

The Democratic Party attacks him, and it's no surprise. But the president of the Senate also has to face the intolerance of his allies. Some say he doesn't have a very TV profile, others accuse him of the appointment of Rossella Muroni. Behind the controversies lie clashes over the electoral lists

Opponents' attacks, the unknowns of a difficult political bet, now even the intolerance of the allies. Who knows if Pietro Grasso expected all these difficulties. As a magistrate he was a national anti-mafia prosecutor, as president of the Senate he led one of the most stormy legislatures in republican history. Maybe he thought he had really seen it all. But since he took the field the leader of Liberi e Uguali has encountered one obstacle after another. To the controversies with the Democratic Party, largely predictable, now adds the growing impatience of his people. Meanwhile, the electoral campaign is already in full swing. How else to define the unpleasant exchange of accusations – delivered via letter to the pages of Republic – with the dem treasurer Francesco Bonifazi? Accused of not having paid 83.250 euros to the coffers of the party that got him elected to Parliament, the former magistrate was forced to make an annoying justification. An unpleasant story, at best, which has been exposing him to criticism and malice for days. At least Matteo Renzi was more direct. In Monday evening's interview with Half past eight the PD secretary anticipated what will be the leitmotif of the coming months. To parade votes in LeU, the center-left intends to obsessively appeal for a useful vote. «Every vote that goes to Free and Equal – Renzi's words – it's not that it gives Boldrini the seat, goes to Salvini". More or less shareable message, but destined to hit the mark. It is easy to think that in the long run the Nazarene's strategy could significantly erode the consensus gained by Grasso.

De Benedetti on the phone: «Renzi told me that the popular decree will pass»
by

The Engineer invested in the stock market 5 million euros before the government's decision

Of Fiorenza Sarzanini
ROMA Four days before the government decree on Popolari launched on 20 January 2015, Matteo Renzi would have reassured the entrepreneur Carlo De Benedetti that the measure would pass. It is the Engineer himself who tells it to the professional who took care of his investments in the stock market. The recording of the phone call - which has remained secret until now - is attached to the file that the Rome Prosecutor's Office sent to the Parliamentary Banking Commission. And it seems to deny the version provided by both when they had excluded the disclosure of confidential information. The investigation for insider trading was started three years ago following a report from Consob which had highlighted capital gains and anomalous movements on securities. In particular, De Benedetti had invested 5 million euros with Romed spa earning 600 thousand euros. The magistrates asked for the investigation to be closed because both Renzi and De Benedetti, questioned by prosecutors, they excluded having entered into the merits of the text then approved at Palazzo Chigi. But now - while waiting for the judge to decide whether to accept the prosecutors' request - the Commission will express its opinion in the final report.

In the North East, the perception of the presence of the mafia is still low
by

Reporting of Prof. Enzo Guidotto

Carried out on behalf of Il Gazzettino, which also hosts its weekly publication, notes the political and cultural attitudes of Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the province of Trento.
NORTH EAST, IL 69% HE DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT THE MAFIA ALSO LIVES HERE
Of Natasha Porcellato
«Here the mafia is certainly not that of the collective imagination, with the cap and the lupara. And it is no longer just the one that manages drug trafficking and dealing. We are in a phase where the mafiosi see this region, with its industries and economic activities, as a place to invest dirty money, recycling it, in order to obtain capital “clean”. Like a big washing machine, precisely". These are the words of the chief prosecutor Bruno Cherchi, for a year at the helm of the District Anti-Mafia Directorate of Venice, he used a few weeks ago during an interview to describe the presence of the mafia in Veneto, but probably a completely similar discussion could also be made for Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the province of Trento.
How much Northern public opinion notices the presence of this “large washing machine” close to you? According to data collected by Demos per The Gazzettino, il 28% of those interviewed believe the mafia is very or somewhat present in their area of ​​residence, while it is the 69% to consider it little or not present at all. Looking at the historical series of’Observatory on the North East, we can observe how the percentage of those who admit the existence of the mafia in these lands has increased over time. In the 2010, Indeed, it was the 19% judging that mafia activity is very or fairly present. The percentage then rose to 22% In the 2013 and had stabilized in 2016 (21%). With the values ​​recorded in the latest survey, but, the leap is significant: +7 percentage points compared to a year ago. Which socio-professional sectors are most aware of the mafia presence in their areas of residence? Unemployed (45%) and entrepreneurs (39%), as well as atypical workers (36%) and workers (32%), they seem to be the categories that most perceive the presence of organized crime around them.
We detect, but, how it is always a minority who express this type of sensation, while the majority of those interviewed remain convinced that the mafia is little or not present at all in the North East. Even if between 2010 and today the percentage of skeptics has decreased by 9 percentage points, they almost remain in these positions 7 interviewed on 10. This orientation, Furthermore, it tends to spread even more among students (89%) and freelancers (81%), technicians and employees (76%).
How the presence of organized crime has changed over the last few years 10 years? The idea that it has increased concerns the 27% of the interviewees, while the 38% believes it has remained stable. One in ten northeasterners, Then, think mafia activity, camorra and n'drangheta has decreased over the last decade and the 16% claims that the mafias, in the North East, there are not and never have been. Pretty consistent (9%), In the end, the percentage of interviewees who are reluctant to answer the question, symptom of how much this topic is, still today, particularly difficult for public opinion.

In Europe everything will be decided in the next two months, but our prime minister candidates don't even know it
by

Image results for Merkel and MacronReport Linkiesta
Il 22 January France and Germany will sign the agreement to change the European Union, il 22 March they will present their idea of ​​reforming the Eurozone. In the middle of, a Eurogroup on banks and a NATO summit on Russia. What do they think, our prime minister candidates? Mystery
Of Francesco Cancellato

Small European agenda, for the use and consumption of our electoral heroes, engaged in the battle to see who abolishes the most taxes between now and 4 March. Il 22 next January, the French and German parliaments they will vote and sign a joint document to give a "decisive impetus to a European Union that is too weak today, inefficient and slow". In fact, what they decide between themselves will soon become the rule for the entire continent. It should not escape your notice that one of the three great founding countries of the Union is missing, in this new design nucleus. Don't forget that there are no political declarations from any of the candidates for the Presidency of the Council on the topic. Sin, because it would be interesting to understand what they think. We would even give up their fundamental opinion on plastic bags, to find out.
Moreover, on the same day there will also be the first Eurogroup meeting of the year, the summit of European finance ministers. We will talk about banks, of common deposit guarantees, probably also the much feared non-risk neutrality of the government bonds that the banks have in their belly, a theme very dear to the Germans. We won't talk about Boschi, Unfortunately, which outside Italy is apparently not considered the central problem for the stability of the credit system. Nevertheless, given that we have just dismissed a Banking Commission, we would expect two words, from our wannabe Prime Ministers. Nothing. Amen.
