– Francesco Bei on Repubblica says that the government’s strategy on migrants is bankrupt because going against the EU and Paris will not allow us to find an agreement to reform the Dublin treaty, the one – so to speak – that forces Italy to host all illegal immigrants. Good. Yet it does not seem to me that the Gentiloni, Letta, Conte II and Draghi governments have obtained all these favorable agreements, despite the fact that they were gruel with European diplomacy. The truth is that beating your fists on the table may be of little use. But even the general licking doesn’t get very far.
– But do you remember the sports journalists how they drooled for AC Milan’s De Kateleare after the first two games? I go by heart: someone even said that he remembered Kakà, others made even more absurd comparisons with “the great players of the past”. Result: today he is a desaparecidos and one wonders if he is really a champion or not. I say give time to sports colleagues: give these mediocre athletes a moment to at least prove something before drooling in compliments. Otherwise they end up like Kean, who seemed like a phenomenon and then never scores.
– The Germans oppose the revision of the stability pact. The principle of 3% deficit and 60% debt they consider sacred, like a totem pole. It does not matter if at the end of the fair in recent years almost no one has respected it to the sound of exceptions.
– Cottarelli bye bye. Not even the time to savor the taste of being a candidate in Lombardy, which Carlo-il-grigio is already holding back. The Third Pole has chosen Letizia Moratti and he has no chance even if San Pietro himself comes down to campaign for him. I must say that the Democratic Party can breathe a sigh of relief: with Cottarelli he would not have won even in dreams. Lombardy is not Milan: replicating the Sala effect is not easy.
– I see a photo of the guys at COP27 protesting with the following slogans: “No Oil”, “No gas”. Question: Are you coming to ride the bicycle with the dynamo to make the electricity work in my house?
– Luca, 14, dies in Milan on a bike after being under a tram. And what is the title of Repubblica today? “It is not a country for cyclists: now we need roads at 30 per hour”. I would like to point out that cars, in this misfortune, have nothing to do with a club.
– Conte makes a raspberry to the Democratic Party who wanted the alliance in Lazio (and maybe also in Lombardy). He amazes me that the dem are tearing their clothes: it’s normal. Giuseppi has understood that if he continues like this he steals all the “left” voters from the Democratic Party, leaving Letta & co. only the good lounges and the radical chic bourgeoisie. The leader of the M5S looks to the future, to the next policies. And if the Democratic Party wants an alliance he will have to sell a kidney. I would not like to be in the dem leadership.
– The World Cup in Qatar, with the controversy sparked by the ambassador who considers homosexuality a disease, will be the testing ground for “politically correct” football. After the Europeans in which teams for no great reason got on their knees for Black Lives Matter without risking a fife, I want to see if they will now protest in Qatar as well. I doubt. After all, hypocrisy in those parts abounds.
– Saviano whimpers. Meloni and Salvini sue him because he calls them “bastards” and he claims they do it to “intimidate one – perhaps with more visibility – to intimidate a hundred”. Believe it even less, Savià.
– In the general silence, the EU Commission gives us (or rather gives Draghi) a slap in the face on the price cap. Now that Supermario is gone, there is hardly any talk of a ceiling on the price of hydrocarbons. The situation is the same as always, net of the bombastic announcements by Draghi about the bogus agreement reached: the frugal countries and Germany do not want it, fearing losing supplies, so to get it Italy will have to sweat another seven shirts. Assuming that in the end it succeeds.
– Giuseppe Valditara, Minister of Education, sends a letter to the students of Italy on the occasion of the fall of the Berlin Wall. And in doing so, he finally writes plainly that communism was “a great utopia” that has turned “into an equally great nightmare” with “unsuccessful” results, complete with “annihilation of individual freedoms, persecutions, poverty, death”. Instead of applauding, Anpi and Pd speak of “propaganda”, “ideological approach”, “forced reading of history” and Minculpop. Sorry, what would Valditara have said wrong? Nothing. The point is, this proves what many have long suspected: these are not anti-fascists, I know they are communists. Isn’t it by chance that in the dem offices they still hide somewhere busts of Lenin and cockades with hammer and sickle?
– Then excuse me Simona Malpezzi: but what would be the “non-instrumental” reading on the Berlin wall? And Mrs. Rachele Scarpa, where would be the note “seriously revisionist, who reinterprets with an absolutely ideological gaze the impact of communism in history”. Was the Berlin Wall also the fault of the Fascists? And did Hitler think of the gulags? Listen, dem friends. It would be enough to say: dear Valditara, you are right: communism was one of the biggest horrors of our century. Instead, denying the evidence, for the sole purpose of attacking the Meloni government, makes you appear in a dark light. You almost seem to be saying, “We are Communists, but we can’t say it.”
– America is a wonderful world. The Midterm elections? Who cares. Okay, the Republicans didn’t win, the Democrats hold up, Trump comes out badly. But what does this news matter when in Florida a guy was stopped at the airport because he hid a gun inside a raw chicken? You have understood? A raw chicken, filled with iron. As Thanksgiving approaches, the agents posted the photos and wrote, “Sorry to point this out, but sticking a firearm into your holiday bird to travel is just a waste of time. He hadn’t even been baked “. Marvelous.
– The Democratic Party has relied on sardines. And now the sardines are cooking it. Go and read today’s interview with Mattia Santori to understand that the dem are doomed to extinction.
– If Twitter with Elon Musk fires thousands of people, all to tear off their clothes. If that progressive democrat Zuckerberg does it (he too, via e-mail, has kicked out 11 thousand employees) this does not produce equal indignation. Because?
– Listen to Giorgetti and light a candle: “We risk having inflation and recession, a nightmare that could become reality”. A difficult winter awaits us …
