FIFTH COLUMN
Of Marcello Veneziani
“The fact does not constitute a crime”, the court acquitted Virginia Raggi. We are happy for her on a human level and respect the sentence, thinking that Raggi should be condemned not on a judicial level but on a political and citizen level, for the evil he is doing in Rome and which is there for all to see. The only problem with this trial and this sentence is that it risks strengthening and locking down a disastrous mayor. It was a boomerang to process her, because he gave a judicial image clearance to a terrible and largely unpopular mayor.
Virginia Raggi achieved an unprecedented miracle: within two years it managed to make right-wing mayors regret it, left, center and technicians. Even bad ones. But not only that: after her, the call for a future mayor who is not Roman grows among the Romans. They are so burned and scared of the fellow citizen they would rather have, as well as a pope also a foreign mayor, Martian, Korean, Japanese. In short, a samurai, un kamikaze.
'Raggi succeeded, she is a grillina and therefore a supporter of the public sector, to convince even the most avid supporters of public transport of the need to privatize Atac, to take it away from the devastating hands of the public. Under her, the perfect failure of a company that at the same time loses money has arrived, offers disservices, It has a record absenteeism rate, sows discontent among its employees, deploys obsolete and never punctual vehicles with a frightening impact on traffic, on citizens, on students going to school.
Everything that Rome suffers today certainly did not arise with Raggi, but it is a long stairway of responsibility, like that of Trinità de' Monti. But with Raggi she reached the last step, at Barcaccia. Nothing started with her but everything got worse with her.
We had no political or ideological prejudice towards her, we were intrigued and almost tempted by the novelty it represented, We were even endeared by his initial shyness as a child, that look of a lost and scared fawn, his uncertainty, his inexperience.
But as the months went by 'Raggi has acquired arrogance and arrogance without gaining experience and wisdom. He didn't even know how to rely on others, he was unable to choose valid collaborators, it made many escape. He said no to any opportunity for a revival, it left decay and filth to fester, continuing to pretend that the city was improving and that the criticisms were only the result of anti-grilline and anti-feminist conspiracies and prejudices. The important thing for her is not the well-being of the city, its cleanliness, but punish those who profit from landfills, stop any project that could attract speculators.
Then, to straighten the hair on the left from square, court and press, the clever girl threw herself into anti-fascism, on anti-racism, on antisexism and homophobia. The result is a little monster junta that aligns itself with political correctness and lets the capital deteriorate. Nothing but Revolution, dear Vespa. His total emerged, showy, embarrassing inadequacy and inability.
Added to all this is the harmful influence of her movement which instead of supporting her with good advice, guide her or at least dissuade her from her mistakes, he supported her in the grossest mistakes, in the most obtuse intransigence, in hoaxes and in the false perception of an improved city, then leaving it at the mercy of administrative chaos. Only to then refer the judgment on her to that shocking internal tribunal that is the code of ethics, of an idiotic-Jacobin approach.
A true code of ethics should start from a principle: the premise of honesty is being adequate for the tasks for which one is applying, do not fill roles that you are not able to perform. Ma in the magical world of Grillino Quality and qualification don't matter, competence and results, experience and curricula; only a childish and apparent idea of honesty counts, of movementist purity and adherence to its code and passwords. For the Grillini, it is not the works that count, but the intentions, and the omissions count more than the works, that is, saying no to businesses. But it is not enough not to steal or to only formally respect the code and the immaculate conception of politics: if you are unable to drive the city, if you let it degrade and if you refuse every possible opportunity for revival, damages citizens in a much more serious and irreparable way. This is the Raggi that needs to be eliminated with votes, not of sentences.
