Of Marcello Veneziani

Penelope's web. It is woven during the day, it unravels in the evening. Or if you prefer, another state abortion is announced. After three months, Cottarelli's undertaking appears difficult, who also seemed to have left with all the right blessings, except for one negligible detail, the sovereign people. That annoying little charm there, called Italy. And yet he is still at sea, and you run with the headlights off in the night along a Roman road full of potholes and ambushes. The Weaver, Mattarella, he lost the clue, he made glaring mistakes, perhaps ill-advised, he managed to blow the pan first, then the embers and now he risks being left with the match in hand while the spread grows with panic. He no longer knows which way to turn, the abyss advances, specters of elections are stirring in the sun.
Whatever happens we know that we have now achieved the point of no return. An unbridgeable abyss has been dug between the Single Bloc of Power and the whole of Italy. The Single Block includes he Pd, the Great Press, Big Finance, the Caste, the Palaces, starting from the Quirinale… Then there's everything else. Which is not just the Square, the Grillino and Northern League people, the militants, but also the many refractory ones, the independents, the bilateral disgusted, the many who live, they think, they work outside the Single Block.
A was being born for the first time absolute minority government, enactment of the Single Block, in spite of the vote and Italy. Other times the technical governments of the Palace had at least one fig leaf in Parliament. This time there isn't even that, even the Democratic Party, which was the sole shareholder of reference, understood that it was better to withdraw, also because Cottarelli only announces cuts, tears and blood. At the beginning Mattarella had also discarded the hypothesis of a centre-right government that had a relative majority in parliament. And instead he then launched an oligarchic government, the PD-Potentates coalition.
The reason for the break with the Grillo-Lega supporters was unprecedented, the opinion of the President of the Republic on a Minister: not an objective fact, a lack of curriculum or a crime behind him, but a pure process of intentions. You idiots, ministers can make ignorant and delinquent people, an excellent economist is not. He could have found better reasons to break with the populists. After all, Mattarella is not a statesman, he was not a protagonist of republican history, but only a third row wingman, invented by Renzi to have only one appearance at the Quirinale and leave the scepter of the One-man-show to him. The Cottarelli government – between the summer, inevitable deadlines, the electoral campaign, the polls and the post-voting times – would last at least a semester. Although an absolute minority, it would place its bombs and its toy soldiers and would serve to make the country boil and scare it with economic threats. But there is a small detail, he wouldn't even have a vote in his favor, not even in Parliament...
Meanwhile, the unbridgeable abyss between the State Narrative and the evident Reality corresponds to the gravity of the facts. The Single Block in pr version narrates this story by making the President's hagiography, making threats (s)fascist and anti-European, terrorizing the population with spreads and ratings. La Stampa Unica launches and adopts the Democratic Party's hashtag IostoconMattarella but it should translate to MattarellastacolPd. The Great Press, Rai included, it's embarrassing. We didn't expect it to be divided between supporters of Salvini and Di Maio and supporters of Mattarella and the Democratic Party. But that there was at least a difference of opinion on the events that occurred and in the judgments. Instead, no, everyone said the same thing, as speakers for Mattarella and Martina of the Democratic Party, another invention in the press by another third-rate parvenu who speaks as if he were the Legitimate Holder of Power. And yet he doesn't even have a majority in his party.
The press offered an indecent spectacle of uniformity and alignment. All that remains is the merger into a single Official Journal. This is not the print but the stencil; no pluralism but a cast that reproduces the same shape. The Single Block gave birth to Single Information. Then we ask ourselves why the press appears increasingly superfluous and is losing readers, credibility, authority. Then we ask ourselves why another world emerges online, opposite to the first; all the rest of reality takes refuge there, the worst and the best, the scum, discontent and free dissent.
Finally, servitude remains towards not Europe, mind you, but of the Single Eurofinance Bloc. There is no need for Salvini, Di Maio or Grillo to reveal to us that we are an enslaved country, subject. Mattarella's representative himself told us this, Carlo Cottarelli, just came with his backpack from the International Monetary Fund: “until we reduce the debt, we will continue to be slaves of Europe". I translate: we are slaves to Eurofinance and we will remain so because that gigantic debt is inextinguishable. Abandon all hope, you who enter. What a slave of Europe the spread created her. Italy has sinned a lot at every level, very wasted, very stolen; but the debt mechanism is the malignant essence of global financial speculation and proceeds on its own, multiplying. Debt cannot be an absolute priority of our governments over the lives of citizens. The sovereign people come before the sovereign debt. Therefore it is necessary to renegotiate the debt, distinguish between real debts or debtors and virtual and speculative debts. The balanced disarmament of debts must be studied according to the evangelical "forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors".
Years ago there was a demand to cancel debts in the third worldo; something like that, a reduction, sooner or later it will also have to be addressed among European countries. Right, to do this requires a rigorous and bold response to a firm and serious one governance, as the gentlemen say. With a strong sense of state and love of country. Which currently doesn't exist; but our priority should be working to get there, rather than living perpetually under blackmail from loan sharks and under attack from the markets. Sooner or later we will have to arrive at a turning point and truth. The people's agenda cannot be dictated by rating agencies.
I don't know what alliances there will be before and after the vote, now everything is open. However, I would like to recommend one thing. When the next legitimate government is formed, don't limit yourself to proposing just one Savona among many amateurs; we need ten credible and independent figures like him, to Foreign Affairs, to Defense, to Culture, to Public Education, in all strategic sectors; and government leadership, Instead, remain political. In the meantime, let's see which rabbit Cottarelli will take out of his backpack.
