Point of no return
by

Of Marcello Veneziani

Penelope's web. It is woven during the day, it unravels in the evening. Or if you prefer, another state abortion is announced. After three months, Cottarelli's undertaking appears difficult, who also seemed to have left with all the right blessings, except for one negligible detail, the sovereign people. That annoying little charm there, called Italy. And yet he is still at sea, and you run with the headlights off in the night along a Roman road full of potholes and ambushes. The Weaver, Mattarella, he lost the clue, he made glaring mistakes, perhaps ill-advised, he managed to blow the pan first, then the embers and now he risks being left with the match in hand while the spread grows with panic. He no longer knows which way to turn, the abyss advances, specters of elections are stirring in the sun.
Whatever happens we know that we have now achieved the point of no return. An unbridgeable abyss has been dug between the Single Bloc of Power and the whole of Italy. The Single Block includes he Pd, the Great Press, Big Finance, the Caste, the Palaces, starting from the Quirinale… Then there's everything else. Which is not just the Square, the Grillino and Northern League people, the militants, but also the many refractory ones, the independents, the bilateral disgusted, the many who live, they think, they work outside the Single Block.
A was being born for the first time absolute minority government, enactment of the Single Block, in spite of the vote and Italy. Other times the technical governments of the Palace had at least one fig leaf in Parliament. This time there isn't even that, even the Democratic Party, which was the sole shareholder of reference, understood that it was better to withdraw, also because Cottarelli only announces cuts, tears and blood. At the beginning Mattarella had also discarded the hypothesis of a centre-right government that had a relative majority in parliament. And instead he then launched an oligarchic government, the PD-Potentates coalition. Read More

Sin!

THE OPINION
Of Marco Cedolin
Sin!
Source: The Corrosive
I firmly believe that with abortion (very little spontaneous) of the possible Salvini-Di Maio government, Italy has missed a great opportunity to try to raise its head and put a stop to the progressive devastation of the country.
Personally I would never have given my vote to the M5S or the League, the former is too absent from the drama of wild immigration and too condescending towards the EU, the latter pays little attention to poverty and work and lacks any environmental sensitivity.
But in an attempt to create a synthesis between their respective programs, the two political forces had managed to create…
to a sort of contract that all in all convinced me (and I would have gladly voted) because through the intervention of others he made up for everyone's shortcomings. A concrete possibility for the country, In short, but unfortunately this was also understood by the great supranational powers who proceeded with its suppression at the hands of Mattarella.
And now what will happen?

Italy is a strange country, we see "unified networks" broadsides raining down on the Government in the process of being formed and this happens precisely from people like Monti, Berlusconi, Bossi, Renzi, Study Program, Veltroni, Padoan and Cottarelli (FMI…), who since the time of the Moro murder have contributed to devastating the country, in ideology and practice, polluting its culture and exporting its well-being.
To name a few, the “Riforma Treu” of work which has brought precariousness to monstrous levels, compressing the economy and causing insecurity, the rules of entry of foreigners functional to the downward competition between Italians and foreigners regarding wages and social rights, the knowledge reforms which have weakened the role and figure of the teacher (inwards and outwards) and destroyed the civic sense of the country as well as the quality and meritocracy of the school, the contemporary and dramatic comparative flattening of the level of competitiveness of our universities implemented at the beginning of the millennium which made, moreover, i university baronies even more "expensive" and politicized, the “Divide et Impera” implemented by 1994 (acting on obsolete grudges and ideologies) which polarized Italians into "right" and "left" (theoretically appropriate dynamics) but transversally (!) given that the main division should have been between city instances (contemptuously defined as “populist”) real economic and those of speculative income, primarily those of the large financial corporations (rooted abroad) with their very powerful political-institutional-lobbying apparatus (…), the Bank of Italy/Treasury divorce, the privatization of banks and shares of Bankitalia (…), the next one theft of our gold reserve, the wild liberalizations of capital and supplies which have increased the cost of living, the emptying of the CGIL now reduced to a moribund business committee, the Franco-German financial technicalities passed off as “Europe” which have uprooted and are uprooting huge slices of well-being (tens of billions a year) with pro-bank and pro-multinational rules that have high unemployment and high taxation as their "net profit"., the ideological exaltation of globalization.
