In Giovinazzo, Municipality in the province of Bari, the Caf assailed by phone calls from the unemployed: “Give us the form to request citizenship income”
Of Claudio Cartaldo
Not surprising, or maybe yes. But in Southern Italy, there where the Five Star Movement he collected almost all the constituencies available in the last political elections, il citizen's income that seems to be the promise it has warmed the hearts of voters.
To prove it there would be a story that is causing quite a bit of discussion.
Calls for citizenship income
The story comes from Giovinazzo, small municipality in Puglia. In the Molfetta college (where Giovinazzo was located) Francesca Galizia, grillina candidate, got the 43% and in the municipality the votes were just under 40%. A win across the board. Bene. As explained today Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno, in this citadel of 20 thousand inhabitants on the outskirts of Bari, but, the Cafs and the patronages were attacked with the request to be able to fill out the forms to obtain the citizenship income. “They won there Five Stars – the Caf employees were heard to say – now give us the forms”.
At first the operators thought it was a joke. But then the high number of phone calls made it clear that many had believed the promises had already been implemented grilled. Faced with the obvious answer that a similar module does not yet exist (and who knows if it will ever exist), many citizens turned to the municipal offices for confirmation. Read More

IF AND’ IT'S TRUE THAT THINGS ARE BAD IN ITALY AND THE YOUNG PEOPLE (AND LESS YOUNG) I AM WHAT I AM, IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE MOTIVATIONS. IN THE MEANWHILE LET'S FIND THIS FACT, NOT OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE (N.D.R.):

Quasi 300 people besieged the Court of Games, on the first floor of the 8gallery, this afternoon, Sunday 25 February. All for the selections and castings to participate in Big Brother, started at 15. Among those present, some even queued at dawn, to ensure the safety of being in the 200 potential "gieffini". And precisely because of the high number of participants, the organizers had to close bookings shortly after the selections began. Trying your luck, come on people 18 until 60 years, all looking for the ramp to fame, as well as those who decided to participate for fun: «I came to accompany a friend and I decided to stay, even though I know I won't be caught", Lorella says, university of 25 years. Even those who are not new to television are queuing up, like Mariastella Roselli, 60 years, appeared a few years ago in a Caparezza video.

Fears have turned into reality: yesterday for the first time, a week after the events, the Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari, he acknowledged that at least 110 students of Girls Science Secondary School of Dapchi, in the north-east of the country, they were actually kidnapped by Boko Haram during the attack launched last year 19 February. The news was given during a meeting with a delegation of former hostages of the jihadist group, released earlier this month: «I have ordered all security agencies in the country to protect our schools – declared the Head of State – and to return the kidnapped girls to their families».
Initially the authorities had denied the hypothesis of the kidnapping, hypothesizing that they simply could have dispersed to nearby villages, to escape the murderous fury of Islamic terrorists. Unfortunately, what happened in Chibok in April was therefore repeated 2014: they were at the time 276 the high school girls ended up hostage of this criminal gang. Muhammadu Buhari was elected the following year with the promise of bringing them home and eradicating the jihadist group. a part, actually, come back in, upon granting lavish ransoms and the release of dangerous prisoners.
But now the governor of Yobe State, where the new raid took place, he criticized the lack of security in his territory and highlighted how in Dpachi, at the time of the assault, there was no military garrison. Boko Haram, dal 2009, has already provoked further 20 thousand deaths and 2,6 millions of displaced people. Read More

“The message is clear: in Italy a greater commitment, promoted by the Government, to inform and educate the population about the advantages of investing in supplementary pension funds. Communications with workers must be simple, engaging and designed to help them take action. This is possible through the use of information materials that help workers understand pensions and facilitate the decision-making process. We believe that a promotional campaign organized by the Government could be an effective way of educating workers about supplementary pension funds and dispelling myths on the topic. This could also be useful in restoring workers' confidence in pensions. Furthermore, i pension funds should regularly review the asset allocation of their entry funds. At the moment, a significant portion of these sectors is predominantly invested in government bonds, which have not generated high returns in recent years and are unlikely to generate them in the short term. It is therefore important that pension funds diversify their allocations to improve risk-adjusted returns for their members.".

Understanding the tangle of interests of the powers in conflict in the Middle East and throughout the crisis that reaches Asia is a challenge because the states and actors involved are entangled in contradictory alliances: the fundamental friend-enemy relationship itself has become mutable and in some cases almost indistinguishable. They seem like distant things but if we follow the thread of events we see how these events directly involve us, also here in Italy, where we get stabbed, in a real or figurative sense, for electoral events devoid of any tactical and strategic interest. As if we were resigned to not counting for anything and instead we too carry heavy responsibilities.
The fight against terrorism, heralded for years, reveals itself, more every day, a tragic mockery. Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and China, in recent days they are trying to stop the American initiative to put Pakistan on the list of countries financing terrorism after Washington froze US aid to Islamabad. The Pakistanis are sending a thousand soldiers to the Gulf to support the Saudis in the interminable war in Yemen against the Shiite Houthi rebels, China has a contingent of 12 thousand men in Pakistan to protect its ports while Turkey is historically linked to Islamabad by economic and military relations.
But beyond these obvious interests there is much more. Saudi Arabia has financed jihadist groups with an anti-Iranian function for years, is more or less directly involved in September 11th, while Erdogan's Turkey maneuvers thousands of jihadists in the anti-Assad war. Pakistan was for a decade, together with the Saudis, the key ally of the USA in the war against the USSR in Afghanistan but it is also the country that hosted the fugitive Osama bin Laden and supports the Taliban and jihadist groups in Afghanistan against the American-led coalition.

Salesmen vs populists
They want us to believe that the issue of the day is fascists versus anti-fascists, or in the alternative, the re-emergence of opposing extremisms. And instead the derby being played in Italy is different: it's touts against populists.
The four main forces that divide the political and electoral field are in fact two asymmetrical pairs.
On one side there are the populists, the grillini and Salvini. And there are two formidable salesmen against them, Berlusconi and Renzi. Then there are their soft stunt doubles like Gentiloni, Di Maio, To Tajani (Salvini is not equipped with prosthetics).
If populists fan on people's discomfort and on anti-political or anti-immigrant protests, the salesmen carry out their propaganda door to door, they aim to offer admirable personal rather than social advantages. Money here, pensions there, TV license fees pardoned, prodigious relief, miraculous rebates, dentures, food for dogs and cats, horses and canaries are neglected.
This is the disheartening spectacle before us. Read More
