Of course seeing John Bolton tamed while, on the way to Moscow where he brings an invitation from Trump to Putin, stops in Rome to invite our Prime Minister Conte to the White House, it makes a certain impression: a lot has changed in just a few weeks, and the change comes from Trump. The same one who in a few days turned the page with Korea...

of the Minister for European Affairs Paolo Savona
Signor President of Confindustria, Lord and Gentlemen,
the date of 27 June, day before the Council of Europe, has proven to be an obstacle to fulfilling my commitment to attend this meeting. At this very moment I am in the Chamber to gather the will of the Deputies on the position that the Government, through its President, will take over at the next summit of 28-29.
Nonetheless, I want it to come to this meeting, together with my apologies for the involuntary absence, a short message from me.
1° The Chapter 2 of the Report on “How and why to strengthen Europe” is the best most recent analysis I have read on the subject. I feared that this topic could not even be discussed in Italy and reading the document reassured me and encouraged me to address the problems under discussion in Brussels by leaving the ccontingent and framing them in the need and urgency of changes in institutional architecturealand dell’EU. Congratulations therefore to the authors of the Chapter and to the Presidency who wanted this meeting-debate.
2° The first, the third and fourth blocks of theIntroduction contain a summary of the contents of the European matters waiting to be regulated. They are therefore an excellent agenda of the choices that must be made. Obviously it doesn't mean that I agree with all the initiatives proposed as a solution, but if we agree on the objectives, an agreement can be found on the technical tools. Read More

A few days after landing, the Aquarius migrants would not have distinguished themselves for impeccable behavior for now. As reported by the Spanish portal casoaislado, migrants housed in the municipality of Cheste, near Valencia, they would have thrown away the gifts given to them by the red cross, mostly clothes and blankets. On the other hand, the photos taken by residents who live near the structure do not leave room for many doubts.
In Alicante instead, where minor migrants are housed (or presumed to be so), some inhabitants claim to have seen asylum seekers from Aquarius in a restaurant drinking alcohol and paying with banknotes 100 euro. This has been the case since the first evening and despite many Spanish media reporting that there were migrants, after the journey from Libya to Spain, shocked and traumatized.

And to say that until recently, mainstream intellectuals attempted to discredit the sovereignists as dangerous neo-fascists. Today we can say it: the sovereignists were right and there is no insult that will be able to stop us, for a reason as simple as it is unexpected: voters are destroying, ballot after ballot, that neo-globalist and transnational construct that years of incessant propaganda have attempted to transform into an unavoidable Destiny. I confess it: it was difficult to imagine it in these proportions. The media campaign (but not only that) launched by the establishment to stop populists in every country (from the United States to Great Britain, from Austria to Italy) it has been of unprecedented virulence and is destined to last. Just think of the latest shameful accusations from Repubblica which labeled as "red-brown" many intellectuals guilty of being in favor of the Legastellato government and which accuses Matteo Salvini of being a Nazi. Mud, garbage, nothing but rubbish.
Trump in the United States suffered the same treatment. Yet the defamation no longer takes hold, not even if it is screamed by 90% of the media; On the contrary, produces the opposite effect. The popularity of the president of the United States is very high, the League goes from victory to victory and i 5 Stars have crashed to the left that Democratic Party for which almost all the talk shows support. All this happens because citizens are tired of no longer being masters of their own destiny and are no longer enchanted by narrative, drenched in spin, aimed at creating the impression that the state is a relic of the past and that the world will be ineluctably multicultural, multiethnic, governed by virtual democracies but de facto controlled by self-appointed elites lacking popular legitimacy. More than a relic, the State is more alive than ever! Read More

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is probably the best economic journalist in Europe. From the columns of the conservative Daily Telegraph, his gaze sweeps over the business international without blinders and, above all, without becoming a megaphone for the interests of the upper levels. His recent speech should prick up the ears of observers and decision-makers in our country. Evans claims that a creeping flight of capital from Italy is underway. The proof is our liabilities in the Target2 system of the European Central Bank. In a month, increased by 39 billion up to 465 billions of euros. One of the causes would be the possibility that the issue becomes operational (which Evans sarcastically calls subversive) day Minibot, the parallel currency intended for Public Administration payments, but usable in general, since every means of payment works on a fiduciary basis, that is, if people are willing to accept it.
The worry (or the secret hope) of the markets is that Italian private savers, holders of very significant sums,join the exodus. The first consideration is that capital flight comes from large investors, by funds and investment banks, supported by the ECB itself. It therefore has an eminently political character, exactly like the manipulation of spread, not in the hands of metaphysical markets, but the Central Bank's blackmail weapon. Read More

Tonight I admit that I clearly agreed with Meloni (to “white paper”): both on the topic of immigration and on that of the Roma. Those who are Italian citizens among the latter must behave and be treated like other Italian citizens. And they cannot stay in "nomad camps". Anyway, I imagine that those who know how to use the internet will find the intervention of the "sister of Italy" "quelque part" (scherzo). A statement from him, in particular, I found myself in complete agreement because it corresponds to what I have been thinking and saying for some time. It doesn't make much sense just to want an agreement with other European countries, especially France and Germany, which until now had turned a deaf ear and today, after the clear stance taken by the new government (of one of his ministers in particular), show some solidarity. In particular, Merkel is benevolent, which sees a situation of possible beneficial crisis finally taking place in that country between the CDU and the CSU, so dry that it even put the government already made up of two parties that were heavily beaten in the last elections in serious difficulties (especially the socialist as is happening throughout Europe!).

Eurointelligence – The CDU/CSU is in open revolt against Merkel“Pwe really think that the Greeks and Italians will continue in the established tradition of negotiating bad deals that are unfavorable to them?”
Of Saint Simon - June 16, 2018
There is a government crisis in Germany, due to the conflict between Interior Minister Horst Seehofer, president of the Bavarian Catholic Democratic Party CSU, and Chancellor Angela Merkel. The object of the conflict is immigration policy: Seehofer, in view of the October elections in Bavaria - the southern border of Germany on which the Mediterranean and Balkan routes converge - he would like the total rejection of refugees already registered in other EU countries at the borders; Merkel is seeking a softer approach so as not to exacerbate tensions in the European countries on the external border, and now it finds itself in the difficult position of depending on bilateral agreements with the Italians and Greeks for its political survival. He will probably try to offer large concessions in exchange, but in any case it would only postpone the showdown: Immigration continues to be the potential explosion of the shaky European balance. And Eurointelligence.

Consulting foreign newspapers broadens your horizon. Far from our home journalism, busy rummaging through CVs or fueling fascist hunts - now it's the Minister of the Family's turn Lorenzo Fontana – we can read interesting news carefully hidden from us. An example is the European Central Bank report entitled “On the sources of economic cycles. Implications for DSGE models.” The acronym means General Equilibrium of Stochastic Dynamics. In the initiatory jargon of economists, stochastic stands for probabilistic, and talking about probable scenarios is already a nice bath of humility on the part of the snooty masters of histograms and mathematical models. Economists are very good at explaining in retrospect how things did not go as they had predicted. Il report of the ECB follows the opposite path, a commendable example of realism and concrete research. Read More
