“Let's make them crash”: the crazy strategy of the left that will happen (Still) the fortune of the Five Stars
The left lost due to a continued snobbish attitude towards the M5S. What could happen now? It could happen that someone on the left cultivates the idea of "let them do it so that they crash". Ecco, that's what's happening. (Of Giulio Cavalli, LAWS)

Not just politics, Berlusconi is afraid for his companies (and doesn't want to leave the game)
In parallel to the political question, Cav's real problems lie in the fate of its companies. From the Mediaset-Vivendi deal, to the fate of Telecom, this is why Berlusconi doesn't want to give up the bone. (Of Stefano Cingolani, LAWS)

Valdimir Putin won the elections by a landslide, and it would be good for the West to take it, finally, seriously. But the mandate that is inaugurated risks being one of decadence for him

Ah, Sandro Pertini, the president of the republic most loved by Italians. The people's president, of children, the cartoon with the pipe, the partisan president who abandons the protocol. The Impertinent. The Pure. Forty years after his election to the Quirinale, in a celebratory deluge, A hagiographic film about him will be released tomorrow at the cinema. We would like to integrate the holy card by telling the story of the other Pertini.
Upon Stalin's death in 1953, comrade Pertini, former pro-Soviet director of Avanti! and at the time the leader of the socialist group celebrated the dictator in Parliament. Here's what he said in Avanti!: «Comrade Stalin ended his day well, even if too early for us and for the fate of the world. His last word was peace. (…) One is amazed by the size of this figure… Men of every creed, friends and adversaries, must today recognize the immense stature of Joseph Stalin. He is a giant of history and his memory will never fade.". That praise, never retracted by Pertini, not even after all Stalin's crimes became known, it does not honor a fighter for freedom and the rights of peoples. Read More

Cinquestelle and Lega? They started out “solid” and old-fashioned (and they win elections because of it)
The liquid party was an invention of the Veltroni in 2008 and it seemed like a revolutionary idea (but the Cavaliere also had this idea of party). With the latest elections, Instead, “solid” parties have established themselves: Lega and M5S. (by Flavia Perina, LAWS)

Among the victims of the landslide of the Italian political framework , caused by Sunday's vote, there is also the so-called moderate centre. And it's no small detail. It's not just the neocentrist idea that has come down, with one eye on the left, of Casini and Lorenzin, and above all the old logic of centrism, intended as a place of mediation and political compromise. This is confirmed by the insignificant percentages of the last nostalgics of the Crusader shield.
Even the “legendary” Chamber of Pergine-Valsugana collapsed, what belonged to Alcide De Gasperi and entire Christian Democratic generations and then to Margherita, of the Ulivo and of the Catholic-inspired Democratic Party. To win, in that segment of Trentino, he was the centre-right candidate, a Northern League member, a sign of the political gap caused here too by the latest elections. A political gap that evidently does not call into question the strong Christian identity of the area, but gives it new meanings, in fact it makes it more direct, most popular, closer to the concrete interests of citizens. And therefore it distances it from the compromising mentality typical of the old democratism, available to easy ethical problems (those on the value of life, of the family, of traditional identity), forcing it to "radicalize" on the level of principles.

One week before the vote the average Italian showed up in the studio, responsible and victim of the insoluble electoral verdict, and he lay down on the bed asking for a medical report on the psychological reasons that pushed him to vote like this, thanks to the electoral law.
It was immediately revealed to him a first brain affection: the Italian voter votes against, the driving force that pushes him to vote is more opposition than support.
Between moderates and conservatives the driving force that prevails is fear – of the communists, of criminals, of immigrants, of revolutions. Between the progressives and the radicals the prevailing driving force is hatred – towards enemies, by definition fascists, racists, sexists, homophobic, reactionaries, corrupt – and hatred towards reality, its limitations, its borders. But the thing they have in common is the vote against.
Even the Grillino vote is a vote against, but not in the name of ad hoc fear and hatred; but general disgust, of contempt, a vote against every power. Voting for him is contraction of vomiting. So I vomited.
The vote against It has a matrix in the Christian nature of Italian: the vote is an exorcism under the banner of "Vade retro". Like sex, the vote should not be expressed for pleasure, but only to procreate a government; the rest is the domain of Satan. Read More
A document appears in which it appears that the company received from 2017 248thousand dollars to control militants and candidates

Do you want to take the 33%. We never get rid of original sin. And we're not talking about someone like Rocco Casalino as head of communications or the black money paid to the millionaire Grillo.
But of the true black soul of the 5 position: Casaleggio Associati Srl.
Now something big appears that gives a good idea of the cunning of Casaleggio Associati, well accustomed to certain stratagems. A document from the controversial Open Society Foundations (one of the largest private foundations in the world supporting human rights groups, with an annual budget of over 900 million dollars), the company headed by the 87-year-old American billionaire George Soros (born in Budapest into a Jewish family, has a heritage of 25,2 billions of dollars, one of the thirty richest people in the world), much talked about for his speculative activities (convicted of insider trading) and of a suspicious philanthropy (he moved 18 billion dollars to the Open Society Foundations to pay less taxes as donations escape taxes), shows that Casaleggio Associati has cashed in on Soros' Open Society Foundations, 248thousand dollars since August 2017 to March 2018 for a project aimed at «changing, to push voters and candidates in the political elections of 2018 to change strategy on migration and euroscepticism". And a contact person is also indicated, Luca Elauteri, founding member and director since 2004 of Casaleggio Associati complete with e-mail (info@casaleggio.it). Elauteri deals with Content and Social Media Strategy in the field of digital publishing and new media. This document was discovered by Alessandro Cerboni, bioengineer from Arezzo, vice president of Assocompliance, for years close to the M5s who knows all the skeletons in Casaleggio's closets, a person too intelligent and qualified to stay with the Di Maio gang (in fact they sawed him off at the "parliamentarians").

THE POINT OF VIEW OF TRUMP'S FORMER IDEOLOGIST
Steve Bannon, the ideologue of the American ultra-right who dragged Trump to victory, he says he dreams of an Italian government formed by the alliance between the Movement 5 Stars and League
Of Raffaello Binelli
L'ex guru on Trump, the one who gave life to the “alternative right” americana, derogatorily branded by opponents as “populist”, focuses on Italian politics.
He does it with an interview with the director of The Press, Maurizio Molinari. “Salvini and Di Maio? My dream is to see them govern together”, dice Steve Bannon without hesitation. “Sono espressioni diverse dello stesso fenomeno e superano, together with other smaller formations, half of the voters”.
