THE EU OR OTHER FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS CANNOT DECIDE WHICH MINISTERS ITALY SHOULD HAVE
Written and reported by Antonio Socci, “The Stranger”
The film that is airing these days is incredible. Germany complains about the intolerable interference of Italian voters (via Lega and M5S) in the formation of the new government in Rome which - apparently - they provide from Berlin, like you do with a colony.
In fact, from Berlin they make it known that they do not tolerate ministers they do not like. It's all out in the open, just read the newspapers.
She is scandalized “"Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" for the insubordination of the Italians towards the Germans: “Italy wants an enemy of Germany in government”.
Where "enemy of Germany" is simply meant an economist who wants to defend the Italian national interest and is critical of German arrogance. We have to stay, by subjects, under the Teutonic boot and kiss it too?
The "Sueddeustche Zeitung" explicitly exalts Mattarella who - according to them - is under siege from Italian voters: “never before has a President of the Republic been put under so much pressure as in recent days by the two parties” who “persist on the name of the radical Eurocritic Paolo Savona”.
According to them, it is not the EU, especially the Germans, to exert intolerable pressure on an Italian Head of State, but the parties most voted by Italians would be the ones who would press unduly who simply govern according to the Constitution. As if Mattarella was at the Quirinale to represent the EU (i.e. Germany).
But it is possible that Mattarella, instead of recognizing the will of the Italian voters, will become the spokesperson for the diktats coming from Berlin?
Hopefully this isn't the case. But you understand well what is happening when you read the Quirinalist of the “Press” Ugo Magri – very Mattarellian – who writes: “it is certain that Mattarella has raised the case of new book from Savona which puts to rest all the anti-Germanic feelings of its author, and accuses the Germans of hegemonic aims comparable to Hitler's".
And we need to think about when Matteo Salvini dice: “It's madness, it is pure madness to blow everything up because Merkel doesn't like Paolo Savona, because he dared to criticize Germany in one of his books".
With the full and significant support of Giorgia Meloni, in this battle for national independence, Salvini he rightly thundered: “German newspapers and politicians insult: Italian beggars, slackers, tax evaders, freeloaders and ungrateful. And we should choose an Economy Minister who suits them? No, Thank you! Italians first".
Salvini reasons with common sense and with the dignity that every political leader should have, as if we were in a country where the Italian people are still sovereign, according to the article 1 of the Constitution.
But evidently in recent years in Italy the pillar of the Constitution has been silently forgotten - defining it contemptuously sovereignism – and allowed foreigners to dominate.
So now Germany feels entitled give us orders. And the technocracy of the EU, in recent days, felt entitled to send its preventive warnings to Italy.
Without the highest offices of the State having felt obliged to defend the dignity and independence of Italy which among other things is one of the major industrial powers in the world.
No European country has seen such a thing foreign interference (not to mention the insolences that the German press throws at us).
On the contrary, Mattarella, instead of rising up against these intolerable interferences by the EU and Germany, seems to become their spokesperson and - turning the tables - accuses foreign powers and the EU of imposing "diktats"., but the League who simply - based on the vote received from the Italians - indicated Paolo Savona for the Treasury Ministry.
It seems like the situation described by Manzoni in the “Betrothed”. After the overbearing diktat of Don Rodrigo - who had ordered through two bravoes: “this wedding shouldn't happen” – Don Abbondio began to invent excuses, refusing to marry Renzo and Lucia to obey the arrogant lord.
The two young people thus devised a way to circumvent the incomprehensible veto of the fearful priest, ma don Abbondio scatenò il finimondo accusando di prepotenza Renzo e Lucia.
Manzoni comments:
“In the midst of this greenhouse greenhouse, we cannot stop ourselves from stopping for a moment to reflect. Renzo, that screamed at night in someone else's house,
who had snuck in there, and kept the master himself besieged in a room, he has all the appearance of an oppressor; nevertheless, at the end of the day, he was the oppressed. Don Abbondio, surprised, put to flight, scared, while he calmly went about his business, it would appear to be the victim; nevertheless, actually, it was he who was committing an abuse. This is how the world often goes...".
It is now clear that there is something at stake here much more than a simple ministry and much more than one EU reform like the one proposed by Savona (all the experts, aware of the situation, they know that change needs to be made), ma our own national sovereignty is at stake.
Mattarella risks taking on the very serious responsibility not only of sink a government, but also of drag the presidency of the republic into political contention and therefore in a very serious one institutional crisis.
Once the Quirinale enters the political dispute, some might even argue that the Italian state is submitting to the diktat of foreign powers.
As president Mattarella took the oath with these words: “Giuro di essere fedele alla Repubblica e di osservarne lealmente la Costituzione”. He knows well that this means being faithful to the Italian Republic and not to the German one. He knows well that he has to be guardian of the Italian Constitution, not of Merkel's wishes.
As a French economist said (moreover pro-European) Germany, after destroying the economy in Europe, is in danger of also destroy democracy. They “allow” you to change governments, but never policies. And this – complains that economist – will mark the end of the euro.
