Wall Street Journal: «Italy is a danger for the euro». Salvini: «The strong powers want to crush us»

According to the newspaper, the "danger" is represented by the "market shocks experienced last week on Italian debt and the new attacks against the European establishment by politicians in Rome"

Of Paola Di Caro

The first was Giancarlo Giorgetti about ten days ago: «I expect the attack, the markets are populated by hungry hedge funds who choose their prey and act". Parole, those of the Northern League undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council, that had shaken the political scene, and which were immediately collected by other government officials. Like Luigi Di Maio, who immediately said he was ready to react if the much-feared storm on the markets were to arrive: «If someone wants to use the markets against the government, know that we are not blackmailable. There is no Berlusconi at Palazzo Chigi who gave up for his companies".

The Wall Street Journal article

L'articolo del quotidiano americano — The article from the American newspaper

Il 19 Matteo Salvini took up the theme of a possible assault on the government and the "Italian experiment" by international "strong powers" in August, with a stark warning: «They will try to crush us, but we will not retreat an inch. Almost as if to open a preventive polemical front, also - perhaps - in reaction to an article in the Wall Street Journal according to which the end of the "long marathon" to save Greece will mark "the closure of the Eurozone crisis", if it weren't for "Italy and the nagging fear that the euro isn't so stable after all". A "danger", the Italian one, represented by the «market shocks relived last week on Italian debt and the new attacks against the European establishment by politicians in Rome», which could lead to a "destabilizing capital flight". The financial newspaper explains that the decisive test will be in the autumn, when "the Italian populist government will have to present the budget law and explain how it will cover its expensive promises to voters".

IMF ADMITS: GREECE WAS SACRIFICED TO SAVE THE EURO

MB. I post this very important article by Evans-Pritchard here because it demonstrates the inhuman consequences of technocratic dictatorship – that is, the loss of sovereignty over the economy and currency . States have ceded power and sovereignty to unelected technocracies (self-selected) , based on the mythical belief that politicians make mistakes out of ignorance or because they are corrupt while technocrats are “scientific”, …

Roberto Saviano, the nothingologist who sets himself up as a teacher of life

Image results for Saviano Of Lorenzo Zuppini
Saviano is not a symbol, because nothingness does not symbolize anything. Saviano is an end in itself, It's the hit of every summer that everyone listens to but no one dances to unlistenable, banal, profoundly rhetorical and corny. It's a cooked apple that can only be well-liked by those who think that talk television is a real information platform, those who think that Mamma Rai is a public service and not a box at the perpetual service of left-wing indignation and respectability. Saviano is tailor-made for that very civilized part of Italy, very attentive to trivial things, who two or three times a week needs to feel part of a great fight against great existential problems, always very honest and unequivocally on the side of good, unassailable, as is the anti-mafia or the humanitarianism of humanitarianists of non-governmental origin, NGO indeed. Saviano, said 'o writer, It's good for middle school and high school visits, in lecture halls full of idle students who want to applaud a hero of civil society, induced into this soporific idiocy by public teachers trained and flattened by respectable and left-wing positions. We could write a novel about it, titling it “The wooden tongues”, because it is precisely that kind of constant political correctness that characterizes Saviano and his followers, i philanthropy, committed intellectuals, the lounge journalists, always good, superheroes threatened by mafias and bad right-wing politicians, just as seems to be happening to the author of the novel Gomorrah, just to return to the daily news.

A Finn, a Latvian and a Greek ordered us to obey Europe. Katainen told us that Europe does not change the Stability Pact. Dombrovsky, that the new government continues to reduce the debt and also the deficit (which we reduce from 20 years). Avramopoulos wants us not to change policy on migrants.
In short, they continue to expect us to obey the measures, based on a wrong theory of public debt, which brought us to ruin.
They had to show this table: the poverty curve to which the EU has reduced us, with the complicity of our politicians. Read More

The how and why of Populism

The how and why of Populism
Source: Heretically
At the end of a decidedly close electoral contest, the verdict that came out of the polls has, indiscutibilmente, rewarded all those formations that, somehow, they imitate or are themselves considered “populist”. The reference applies to both the League and the Movement 5 position, US President Trump, the transalpina Lady Marine Le Pen, That, in the most recent past for the Forza Italia of the golden times and, really, in very recent times, as if by someone risky, also for Renzi of the original "scrap" version. A term whose meaning has included a bit of everything and its opposite.
But what exactly do we mean by “populism”?? What is the exact political meaning in which this term should be placed, very fashionable nowadays? If we want to refer to the letter of the history of political movements, by “populism” we mean a series of movements that, at the end of the nineteenth century they developed in disparate contexts. In Russia, Populism was represented by the “narodnjki”, whose most authoritative exponents were the colonel and mathematics professor of the Military Academy Pyotr Lavrovič Lavrov, supporter of populism in a socialist key, together with its popularizer and idelogue, the sociologist and literary critic Nikolai Konstantinovič Mikhailovsky, having as its object the emancipation of the peasant masses, starting from the rural/"obscina" community. France instead, began with Paul Deroulede's League of Patriots, che unitasi ad un altro movimento populista di massa, Boulangism (named after Georges Boulanger, charismatic general of the French army) he became an advocate of a radical and revanchist nationalism, always connected to the increasingly widespread discontent of the masses, towards the young French parliamentary republic, much to achieve in 1888-89, after obtaining the support of the monarchists, of significant electoral victories. In the United States it was the People's Party (People’s Party), also known as Populist Party (Populist Party), summarily called "Populists”, which party was established in 1891 in the United States of America which, during the “populist” period, took hold towards the end of the 19th century. Supported by the lower classes, especially by cultivators hostile towards elites in general, had its peak between 1892 and the 1896. Read More
