Perché su Genova l'ipotesi del complotto non m'appassiona

BECAUSE I'M NOT LOVED BY THE CONSPIRACY HYPOTHESIS ABOUT GENOA (You have it before your eyes) )

WHY’ THE CONSPIRACY HYPOTHESIS ABOUT GENOA DOESN'T FEAT ME (L’ you have before your eyes) )

“Consob warns the government: dangerous to disturb the markets". Here is a headline from the day after the Genoa disaster. The threat from Consob: Salvini and Di Maio, speaking loudly against Atlantia and the Benettons, they had caused the stock to lose "billions".. So according to this logic, It wasn't the collapse of the bridge that caused Benetton shares to fall, they are looking for me...

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”
Of Andrea Indini
“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. As soon as Maurizio Martina and the former Defense Minister Roberta Pinotti arrived at the Fair to pay their homage to the families of the victims, have been inundated with criticism. This is because it is the Democratic Party that most blame i (continue) relations with the Benetton family That, through Atlantia, check Motorways for Italy. From former prime minister Enrico Letta to former minister Paolo Costa, passing through Romano Prodi and Massimo D'Alema, the liaison between democratic policies and toll booth business it has distant roots. “For the first time – Luigi Di Maio himself said to the microphones in recent days RaiNews – there is a government that has not taken money from Benetton, and we are here to tell you that we are revoking contracts and there will be fines for 150 million euros”. Rightly or wrongly, the people present at the funeral were convinced that they were partly to blame for the dramatic collapse of the 14 August can be attributed precisely to the party that has governed the country for the last five years.

All the links between the Benettons and the left
by

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

Benetton Maletton
by

FIFTH COLUMN
Of Marcello Veneziani
The Benettons not only produced sweaters and managed highways but were the first local factory of global ideology. They were not only sponsors but also precursors of the ideological alphabet, symbolic and sentimental of the left. They were the bridge, it's worth saying, between the multinational interests of global capitalism and the Americanization of the planet, with their profits and their marketing and anti-racism messages, against sexism, in favor of society without borders, lgbt, transgressive and progressive. Their campaigns, entrusted to Oliviero Toscani, they tried to unite the shock side, which often bordered on bad taste and a punch in the stomach, with the progressive humanitarian message: multiracial society, without borders, without distinctions of sex, of religions, of ethnic groups and peoples, with special attention to minors. Remove barriers everywhere, except at toll booths, where it comes to taking tolls. Benetton recently also carried out humanitarian campaigns on immigrant boats and launched a video "against all resurgent racism". The connection between sermons on the skin of the desperate and selling sweaters or charging cars tolls is mysterious. Read More

But “State Secret” can mean “Bribes”? (Question to the Prosecutor's Office)
by

Of Maurizio Blondet
Since the Benettons do not supply the State with missiles, advanced armaments, radar – because the motorway concessions were covered by state secrecy? It's a question I would like to ask, as a poor citizen, to judges, prosecutors: what other reason can they imagine for this state secret! – if not hidden exchanges and benefits between the politicians who granted them, and those who enjoy the concession of a very profitable monopoly? I ask sincerely: because I can't imagine anything else. Maybe judges and prosecutors, but yes. They have a reason to find this secret very normal. And for this reason they have not moved despite the fact that the Transport Authority has also repeatedly underlined the need to make these contracts public, that concern a public service and public power. And although in any other country the Ministry of Transport makes the contracts and documents governing the relationship between the State and the managers of the motorway networks available for consultation, as - after all - of any public service granted under concession.

Bribes can be assumed? Under-the-table payments in any form to the concessionaire government party? This is asked naively, given the enormous profits that the company in question derives from the management of the monopoly: almost the 26 percent of turnover net profit, you seem to 1,042 billion . And a gross operating margin that makes the economic journalist Fabio Dragoni say the following dirty joke: “An EBITDA of almost 68% on turnover like that of #Highways credo can only be overcome by drug trafficking". And why Mario Giordano calls them “Vultures”?

Every year Italians have paid tolls for almost 6 billions of euros, triple what they pay with the Rai license fee. Of this money, only a small part goes to the state: 842 millions.

L'ira del web contro Benetton e Toscani: "Metterete una maglietta rossa per le vittime di Genova?"
by

Reporting of G.B.
The Benetton family, which through Atlantia controls Autostrade per l'Italia, in the sights of social media. Toscani's do-gooder campaigns are also under attack
Of Sergio Rame
From pain to anger. The transition is immediate. Sui social network, and especially on Twitter, Anger is being vented at this time against the Benetton family.
Media lynching is, Indeed, started soon after the first statements by ministers Luigi Di Maio, Matteo Salvini and Danilo Toninelli against the company Motorways for Italy that, through Atlantia, it is in fact controlled by the Benettons. “Now you will wear a red shirt for the victims of Genoa?”, writes a challenging user Oliviero Toscani That last 7 July had demonstrated against government policies of closing the ports to boats loaded with illegal immigrants.
Several hundred tweets. One after the other. All popped up a few hours later the dramatic collapse of Morandi bridge on the A10 motorway. Social networks are unleashing themselves against the Benettons by posting, just as the death toll increases hour by hour, several shots that portray a smiling and complete family group. In other posts, a photomontage was published in which Toscani is seen holding a photograph of the collapsed bridge in his hand. “Now you will wear a red shirt for the victims of Genoa?”, a user writes to him referring to the demonstration of 7 last July in support of illegal immigrants who land on the Italian coasts.

Genova: Morandi Bridge
by

Morandi Bridge
THE INVESTIGATION
Of Roberto Pecchioli
We didn't want to believe it. The collapse of the Morandi Bridge, that we Genoese, with a touch of colonized provincialism we called it the Brooklyn Bridge, It's a shocking tragedy, for its load of victims, pain, destruction and the terrible consequences that will drag on for years. This is not the time for jackals, but help, of condolence, of help, of collaboration. However, one cannot remain silent, keep a lid on anger over another sinisterly Italian tragedy: a work of that importance cannot collapse after just one day 50 years. For the writer there is something personal, almost intimately in the pain of these hours. Children, we participated in 1967 at the inauguration of the bridge with all the school groups of Genoa. Equipped with a tricolor flag, stationed in front of the stage, we followed the ceremony, we saw with the wonder of age the president of the republic Giuseppe Saragat surrounded by men in full uniform and the imposing figure of the great cardinal Siri, historic archbishop of the city.
We have crossed that very long bridge thousands of times, seventy meters above the valley of the Polcevera stream full of council houses and industrial warehouses of the former Superba, every day for decades we saw and touched it on our way to work. It's no longer there and it's someone's fault. They talk about lightning, of an intense storm and structural failure. Let's wait to make judgements, but on the morning of the eve of the August bank holiday it just rained. No floods, from the years 70 we remember at least six, devastating, in the city of Genoa. We don't know how many lightning strikes have struck engineer Morandi's artifact in half a century (few knew that the work was named after him), nor how much rain has wetted the imposing structures since then. We don't accept, we will never recognize the hasty justification of these hours as valid. It will be Bar Sport indifference, but we know that Roman bridges have been standing for two millennia, and we don't believe in the inability of designers. But, in recent decades there have been many collapses, like tragedies due to neglect, to ignorance, to widespread corruption. Read More
