Summer fashion in newspaper editorial offices, on television talk shows, on social media is to transform every word of any M5S and Lega exponent into proven proof of their incompetence, of the underground war between the two forces. There is no argument – ​​from vaccines to large infrastructures, from the next financial maneuver until the revocation of the concession to the Benetton Autostrade - which does not fuel the barrage against the current government, to whom, among other things, everything is now attributed; from neo-fascist revanchism to rheumatism due to bad weather. Objectively, like any new executive, there is no shortage of doubts and some improvident exits of some exponents could have been spared, however, the ardor with which the big names in the national press are attacking the government makes us think. Right, they could also fail like their predecessors. Vero: no one is born perfect, and even with all the good will for change, the obstacles to be overcome could prove insurmountable. But in these 20 and over the years I remember that only towards Berlusconi and only from one part of the media system has there been total skepticism since the eve of the formation of a new executive.
Not a doubt about the thaumaturgical abilities of those who were there before. Never a skeptical front a 360 degrees as for Prime Minister Conte Salvini and Di Maio, never a world army of Cassandres like in this case. But you have forgotten the champions in government these last seven years? Of the country they left as a legacy? Let's stop for a moment and recover our memories and tell me if you would ever like to go back to being governed by the same people who disintegrated the country. Because who has been in government continuously in these seven years, he can hide as he wants and can deny until he dies, but he will never be able to say that he has done something to improve the country. You've already forgotten Monti's miraculous recipes, Read, by Matteo Renzi and the banking expert Maria Elena Boschi?
By the trade unionist Fedeli, without a high school qualification and therefore Minister of Education, that is, the human allegory of the inadequacy and hypocrisy of an oligarchy of undeserving people who have infected us with the unbearable rhetoric of merit? Or the agricultural expert Poletti, the one according to which it is better for precarious workers to emigrate so as not to have them underfoot; that of school-work alternation: students removed from real study and sent away, obviously without pay, to pass products to the Eataly checkouts and serve them in fast-food restaurants. That is, to do what they would do as adults and graduates if we had continued to have rulers of the caliber of these here.
You've already forgotten about all the ridiculousness (if their actions had not been tragic) puppets of power in Parliament, who have kept the country in check for years, with all their alchemies of "technical governments", “broad understandings”, “responsible governments” and adventurous “reforms” (plus an attempted burglary of the Constitution), and who today feel no embarrassment about appearing on TV again, even though the majority of Italians have long since discovered them and are wandering around the site of the Genoa disaster whistling, like the arsonists in the movies, posing as champions of the suffering? They who contributed to reducing them to absolute poverty 5 millions and counting of people and to make people precarious 3 and a half million workers (STATE dates).
I could go on for days with examples, with facts that made it tragic, ridiculous, cruel and intolerable, a state that should have, according to our Constitution, protect citizens (the many for good) and make their lives acceptable. So forgive me if I find the attempts ridiculous, however clumsy, to hinder this government. Maybe, it can also do something good, this time…
