Obviously, This year too, a delegation from us participated Circle Christ the King, at one of the annual events, have become among the most important.
Of Francesco Barana

A few lines, but significant. With a key passage: “The Verona Eurasian Forum has earned credibility and prestige” regarding “the economy of trust and business diplomacy from the Atlantic to the Pacific, to be freed from barriers and sanctions".

This was written in a letter read yesterday at the opening of the Forum in Gran Guardia, Vladimir Putin, which thus christens our city as central to helping resolve, or at least to overcome, the diplomatic-commercial conflict between the US-EU on one side and Russia on the other.

The Eurosian Forum, created ten years ago by Antonio Fallico's scienzare eurasia association, has always boasted great guests from national and international politics and economics. However, Putin's legitimation represents a leap in quality and takes on a decisive political-diplomatic significance for the review, and consequently also for our city which is lucky enough to host it.

E’ the brawl made the headlines in the national press, with fascist salute, broke out at Palazzo Barbieri during the last session before the summer break. A long article was dedicated by “case” from the online edition of Corriere della Sera.

Casus belli the anti-abortion motion of the Northern League member Zelger which was awaited on the balconies by a large group of protesters, in particular the activists of “Not one less” who showed up dressed as nuns. A tense climate, In short, which fell when two councillors (Bertucco and Gennari) they saw Andrea Bacciga address the audience of activists with the Roman greeting. At that point the brawl broke out on the benches of the city council with a near brawl, while insults flew from the audience. In the end, the Zelger motion was not discussed due to the pandemonium it unleashed. Now the controversy continues with the activists of Non una di meno who are asking for the resignation of councilor Bacciga and threatening exposure to the Prosecutor's Office and the Bar Association.

For his part, Bacciga denies it “I was just waving with my right hand”.

VERONA, Traditionalists and gays: A new fact (but not that much…n.d.r.)

THE OPINION ON YESTERDAY'S VERONA NEWS 15/05/2018 18:16
Of Francesco Barana
AFTER CHESTNUT'S ATTACK ON BRIANI

Even conservatism, a Verona, it is a land of conquest (politics). The recent attack of Matteo Castagna of Christus Rex to the Councilor for Culture Francesca Briani (“It's gay-friendly, resign") attests to it.

We are not interested in going into the merits of the controversy. The interesting fact is Castagna's timing and skill in "riding" the story, so as to put the arrow and overcome – in terms of media representation – who so far has established himself as the main champion of "traditional" values, i.e. The People of the Family of Filippo Grigolini. Which on Facebook he candidly admits: “We were beaten to the punch by the Christus Rex association, close to the mayor".

A disappointment. Il PdF, in the last year, had managed to occupy and monopolize the political space of "tradition" – see the cases of the Living Library at Tocatì, of the pro-gay “Marry who you want” stand at the Arsenale and even the controversy over Elton John in the Arena.

Now the invective of Chestnut, then received by the mayor, marks a new fact. And the (momentary) media overtaking could also have a political effect. Because if The People of the Family – despite his radical conservatism on ethical issues – It defines itself as “Christian inspired, but secular, non-denominational and open to non-believers and other religious confessions" and is culturally in the center-right fold with also hints of transversal civility (its national leader, Mario Adinolfi, he has a long history in the centre-left), Christus Rex is close to radical right-wing positions and is avowedly “a group of Integral Roman Apostolic Catholics (sedevacantists)” therefore pre-conciliar.

Conservative radicalism in Verona will become even more radicalized?
