Si insedia il "governo del cambiamento" to the test of facts
by


Of Matthew Castagna
The Lega-Movimento government takes office 5 position. Many no longer hoped for it. On the contrary, after Giuseppe Conte's remission of his mandate and Cottarelli's ascent to Colle, most saw yet another caretaker government on the horizon. Perhaps some had already begun to advise the two leaders to take the much more comfortable and less responsible role of tribunes of the plebs.
Instead something has changed, right at that stage. To demonstrate, if there was still a need, than in the politics of the so-called “Third Republic” all the schemes have failed, in addition to consolidated institutional relationships and practices. Yesterday Prof. Lawyer. Giuseppe Conte returned to the Quirinale with the team of Ministers and the swearing-in took place. Next week there will be the final passage of the parliamentary confidence vote, which does not cause particular concerns and will be greater in the House and more restricted in the Senate.
What has changed in the space of a week? There was a compromise with Europe to be able to govern. We have seen first-hand that those who try to form an executive, complete with prime minister, program and majority receives the “not ” dell’ EU through the institutional guarantee figures, if it doesn't reassure the markets, that is, the Paris-Berlin axis that rules in Brussels through its banks, its lobbies and its rating agencies. Salvini, but not only that, ha, Therefore, concluded that we are one country “with limited sovereignty”. E’ objective. If you don't find at least one method of coexistence, even by divorcees at home, with them, go home. Everything else is sterile rosiconi propaganda. What happened is clear proof of this, even for those who, possibly, they wanted not to see. The new government has reassured people about remaining in the Eurozone, in exchange for a sovereignist policy on immigration and taxation. Already yesterday, but, authoritative government officials have said that Italy will also do those things that someone in the’ The EU might not like it. It will be true? The facts will speak and we will judge on those, because diplomacy is one thing, reality is one thing. Circumstantial phrases are one thing, actual policies are one thing. Read More

Radical-chic and ignorant-pop
by

Of Marcello Veneziani

Tom Wolfe died in America last Monday and I would like to say something about radical chic, of which he was the discoverer and brilliant slayer. I too have criticized them since I met them, As a boy I read Wolfe's book against them which Alfredo Cattabiani had published in '73 by Rusconi. On the contrary, before the radical-chic I met their ancestor, lo snob of which Panfilo Gentile spoke ill, noting that snob stands for without nobility, fake nobleman who poses as one. As well as opinionated, i radical chic they snob they become detestable when they become intolerant towards those who do not belong to them race.
But I don't like their backhand at all either, crude pop ignorance. That of those who hate all reading and despise everything that smells of art, thought and culture, that of those who make contemptuous and demented judgments online without understanding, without knowing; that of those who hate the world and belch and fart against the universe and all greatness in the name of freedom and rights. That of those who suffer fromegalitarian envy, he wants to make those who are better off than them suffer and have them confiscate what they have deserved and achieved. In short, those who assert their encyclopedic ignorance as a right and a virtue. Sometimes they are even right-wing people, although usually the homunculus-type is below the right and left. I can't say which is worse, radical-chic or rude-pop. Or better, I would know: the worst are those who make their arrogance or ignorance fall on others. Read More
