Point of no return

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. Read More

Constitution (material) antidemocratic

Of Fabio Falchi
Constitution (material) antidemocratic
The care of Alessio Mannino per www.vvox.it
Another (and deeper) point of view. It's that, at least compared to the "Mattarellians" of Italy, but without being aligned with the "anti-mattarellians" regardless, that he can give sine ira ac studio just a scholar, libero, far from academies and cliques, with a robust baggage of references that are not exactly mainstream, and who knows how to argue. This is the case of Fabio Falchi, 52 years, independent researcher who lives in the province of Varese, one of many (but not many) thinkers of an Italy accustomed to bringing thought to the masses, content to see the usual four "opinionists" parade by. In particular, Falchi deals with geopolitical analysis and political philosophy, collaborating on various magazines (especially “Eurasia”) and writing several books (“The inner space of the world”, the two volumes of “Politics and war” and “Community and conflict”, all published by Anteo, and another one is about to come out, which «should be titled “Geo-politically man inhabits”»). Falchi moves in the wake of «non-Marxist socialism, focused on the defense of "differences" and community bonds, as I believe that "being with others" (which can also turn into "being against others", as history shows) is the destiny of man and that consequently we cannot free ourselves, but together". Not exactly the perspective of liberal individualism, In short. Read More

Infrastructure, the rumors and the Venetian lead

Image results for Venetian foothillsOf Marco Milioni

Hello dear readers,
I believe that these rumors that run along the Veneto-Rome axis could interest you. We talk about the infrastructure department…
The rumors come from Rome. As part of the formation of the new government led by the Northern League and Five Star Movement, some Venetian names would have been circulated for the infrastructure department, one of the most strategic. These are names that are not only eligible for the ministerial position, but also for that of undersecretary. The first is that of Silvano Vernizzi, today CEO of Veneto Strade, he was for a long time the extraordinary government commissioner for the Veneto Pedemontana. His choice would be at Lega quota but very well appreciated by Fi circles. Another name that is circulating is that of Massimo Colomban, former councilor for subsidiaries in the municipality of Rome in the M5S council, He has a past in the centre-right and would not be unwelcome to the League. The latest name circulating is that of Massimo Malvestio, well-known lawyer from Treviso, known for being one of Zaia's spin doctors, in his case his name would have been proposed without the interested party being immediately made aware of it. Rumors have already circulated among the M5S base that they would not have liked the three names because they were considered too close to the Venetian infrastructure establishment. In the Region that once belonged to the Serenissima, some more delicate games are being played in the field of great works. Just think of the conclusion of the MOSE, to the Marghera reclamation, to the canals for large ships and the Pedemontana Veneta, the Valdastico Nord and the Orte Mestre not to mention the Tav Brescia, Verona Vicenza, Padova. These are projects opposed by the M5S and instead by the League, in a coalition with the centre-right he has always supported it. As has been explained several times in the national press (from Fatto and Corsera first and foremost) right in Veneto, in terms of infrastructure, a crucial game will be played for the country, within which it will be important to understand how much the lobbies that operate behind the infrastructure sector will be able to make their weight felt on the unborn government.

Government, Freemasonry against Lega-M5S: "Il Contratto è incostituzionale"

Government, Freemasonry against Lega-M5S: "Il Contratto è incostituzionale"Reporting of A.F.
Mattarella's intervention requested
Masonry. The Council of the Grand Orient of Italy considers the provisions on Freemasonry contained in the Contract stipulated between the parties of the future executive to be unconstitutional. And asks for the intervention of the President of the Republic
The Freemasons of the Grand Orient of Italy solemnly swear loyalty to the Italian Republic. They do so on the Constitutional Charter and undertake to respect its rules and laws. The idea of ​​inserting an anti-Masonic clause in the contract between Lega and M5S is contrary to constitutional principles. Remember the fascist laws that the Freemasons have always denounced and which are the consequence of a dangerous liberticidal drift. The articles 2, 3,18 e 21 of the Constitution are very clear and do not allow negotiated agreements that prevent categories of citizens from exercising their freedom of participation, of expression and association in all its forms. Anyone who thinks of exploiting a campaign against Freemasons for political purposes and preventing the exercise of primary rights commits an abuse and must assume all responsibility for it.
