Giorgetti: "Rivedere le concessioni, da telefoni a tv". Berlusconi panics
by

Giorgetti: "Rivedere le concessioni, da telefoni a tv". Berlusconi panicsWho knows what Silvio Berlusconi must have thought when he read Giancarlo Giorgetti's words. “Nationalize? I believe it is necessary to seriously discuss what we want to do with the real assets of the State”. The Northern League undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council. interviewed by Corriere della Sera, wants “open discussion on how this is done’ which is’ object of concession can return the greatest good to citizens”. On the possibility’ whether or not to nationalize Italian motorways, Giorgetti states that “at the moment talk about it and’ absolutely premature. In concreto, bisogna verificare l’esito della procedura di annullamento della concessione alla societa’ Highways. At that point you can’ decide with a few more indications. Or you can’ even do another race to see the conditions you can achieve”.
“There are no taboos’ – he adds – The Brenner motorway (A22) sara’ managed in house, in derogation from the European standard. The point e’ evaluate well, case by case. The whole state is not’ buono, but not even completely private. I believe it applies to every good of the State: the real assets of the State are not the properties we always talk about. They are the concessions: how much does the State get from the mineral water we buy a 2 euros per bottle? How much from underground methane or from television concessions? How much from the ether in which the mobile phone signal travels? I believe that the State must carry out periodic evaluations. And then, choose for the best”. “Of course – continues – now we have to think about expiring or expired concessions”. And on the fact that the League had also voted for the 'save Benetton' decree’ of the 2008, the undersecretary comments: “But I don't know… I just discovered today that I wasn't even present at the vote…”.

Who from Rai hurts, of Rai perishes

Who from Rai hurts, of Rai perishes
Source: Marcello Veneziani
I don't know how the drama about the president of Rai will end, if Foa will remain at the helm anyway, perhaps as a senior advisor as happened in 2004 to Berlusconi's Alberoni or if Giampaolo Rossi takes over from him, competent in RAI and new media, in discontinuity with the previous Rai domination and in harmony with Foa's ideas. Maybe we'll figure it out today. But on a political level one thing can already be said: the final veto on a signature of Il Giornale as president of Rai is the worst conclusion of Berlusconi's parable. End up in resentment, burning Foa, align with the PD and the scattered left, separate from the League and the Brothers of Italy, only show the ability to cause failure, it is a miserable epilogue for Berlusconi. That decline that has been going on for years now, has reached a point of no return and breaking of B. with his people and his allies.
Nobody expected Forza Italia to align itself with the yellow-green government. That's right, and even useful, that Forza Italia maintains a critical line towards the economic choices of the Grillini, Di Maio's reforms, amateurism and underlying punitive pauperism, the grillosinistri type Fico or the half socks in power, genus Raggi. That opposition line responds to the nature of his voters, to the mandate received and to its economic and political line.

Behind the scenes on the Rai presidency
by

While Marcello Foa declares to remain in his capacity “senior advisor”, the usually well-informed D'Agostino tells some interesting background, of which we were also partly aware (n.d.r.):
SALVINI'S HOSTILE OBSERVATION FOR "FORZA ITALIA": THE DOORS OF THE LEAGUE ARE OPEN FOR LOCAL ADMINISTRATORS WHO DECIDE TO QUIT BERLUSCONI – THE CAV, WHO WOULD HAVE WANTED TO MEDIATE ON FOA, HE WAS WITH HIS BACK TO THE WALL: TAJANI HAS THREATENED TO RESIGN IN CASE OF SURRENDER TO SALVINI – AND WITH HIM, IN THE FRONT ROW, GHEDINI WAS AGAINST THE LEAGUE – THE RISK OF APPOINTMENTS

Now the doors of the League will open, indeed they will open wide for the local administrators of Forza Italia. And according to the Northern League there are many who are knocking on Matteo Salvini's door, the "Captain" who has his political sails full of good electoral winds. While they see the floppy blue ones, with l’ Admiral of the’ former blue ship in disarmament, listless, little interested in the opposition naval battle in the yellow-green waters. So far l’ agreement between Silvio Berlusconi and Matteo Salvini was not to go to war: no openings to parliamentarians, to regional and municipal councilors. Read More

The Nazzareno plot starts in September

“Within a few months this government will end”, Silvio prophesied to his parliamentary remnants gathered in Montecitorio. Change the name of the party, it will now be called “Altra Italia”. “A new beginning awaits us!”, he reassured them. Where does he get so much optimism from?, with his 8 little percent left? The point is that Matteo Renzi said the same thing: “Salvini? It will not stand up to political and judicial pressure.", to his, in circumstances frighteningly similar to that of Berlusconi: he gathered his people in a Roman restaurant to revive them. «Enough whining. We have no reason to be discouraged. The government will fall soon. We have to be ready.".

Ready for what? In Rome, city ​​that "knows everything and keeps silent" (said Tacitus), Many people seem to be aware of the conspiracy, that the rumors are faithfully taken up by Dagospia. Who defined what the Florentine Piddino tweeted as "a little prank" from Renzi: «A sentence – he wrote – says that the League must repay 49 millions to Italians. Salvini said that he, minister and leader of the League, He doesn't intend to do it. His, Minister of Legality, announces that he will not follow the sentence requiring him to return the money. We are at the most brazen illegality. And he doesn't answer. Salvini announces, but he doesn't answer". Read More

Berlusconi achieved sixty-eight?

Berlusconi achieved sixty-eight?
Source: Heretically
The small bookstores and street bouquinistes are precious. Old editions can be found from them, books that were thought to be out of print, authors and texts from small publishers, garrison of freedom. Visiting a bookshop in the historic center of a small town we came across a little book of a few pages written in 2011 by the philosopher and art historian Mario Perniola, passed away recently. The title is intriguing, The text is interesting and can be read in one go: Berlusconi or '68 realized...
The thesis of the intellectual from Asti is that the Knight would be proof of the success of the anthropological revolution triggered by the ideas, Parisian and Californian, of the 1968. Strange indeed that the heterodox positions of a few thinkers are considered reactionary, together with powerful but isolated voices accused of "Rossobrunism" (Costanzo Preve) are accepted in some way, or at least revisited, by a figure like that of Perniola. Already a left-wing extremist, close to the Situationist International in his youth until his personal friendship with Guy Debord, subsequently historian and philosopher of art on very critical positions of post modernity, enemy of “weak thinking”, protagonist of heated controversies with Gianni Vattimo, presents a surprising thesis and not without a certain charm. The knight of Arcore would be, in the vision of Luigi Pareyson's student, the one who achieved what 1968 had supported.
As an insider of the movement (Perniola was born in 1941 and began to intervene in the cultural debate in the mid-1950s 60) he sees in the figure of Berlusconi “that will to power, that ranting triumphalism, that extreme desire to destabilize the whole of society which pervaded 1968. End of work and family, deschooling, destruction of the university, deregulation of sexuality, counter-culture, and discredit of medical expertise and collapse of healthcare facilities, hostility towards judicial institutions considered repressive, youthful vitalism, triumph of mass media communication, oblivion of stories and spontaneous presentism, all this has now become reality.” Read More
