Casini comes out

Amen. Casini (head of the UDC Union of Center party) said that some ministers of the government will stand with him at the next election. Finally, it is clearer what everyone already knew, namely that this italian government of technicians actually has very little of technical. The ministers gave us little to make bad decisions and very little to understand that politics was their natural way (very strange...). The allure of power, of course, easily seduced them. Ultimately, now do whatever they want, but at least all stop pretending that this government does not have anything political. These people have not been elected, are supported by a huge majority, composed of three parties, two of which are committing suicide politically. With his mellifluous appeals to the sense of responsibility that should govern Italian politics at this time of crisis, Casini has shown to be the strongest supporter of the Government's results. Results which, in truth, are not at all clear nor shared. The political maneuver was simple but effective, the government has a level of trust still very high and with this move Pierferdinando wants to exploit the opportunity that is offered to become a major party, diffferently from before. Now, I wonder how it is possible that PD and PDL are there to make a fool of himself by this gentleman. Both are losing ground among the people and that everyone can verify it. The PD is supporting a government which for months has failed to impose any measure of left-center. He has completely lost its appeal among the employees and workers. The PDL is committed not to lose support after the change of leadership,even if it is unknown how apparent, which could lead a party that has owed for years to Berlusconi his great strength to lose the road. In all this, people are increasingly disgusted by everything and Grillo reached unprecedented proportions. The voters of the PDL and PD want to see their parties do things that should distinguish them instead of bothering to hold the candle to Casini. It's a long time since I lost hope that there may still be room for real policies guided by ideology. It's also a long time since i was  hoping to be in front of conventional politicians who can really lead this country better and in a meaningful way. I never imagined they could to get to hang themselves with their own hands, while one of their three rises on theier backs. Maybe some joint statement less and some more daytrips in the crowd would have helped. I wonder if you should still do it now ...

Alfano Bersani Casini, how pretty you are

Alfano, Bersani and Casini (heads of the three main parties componing Monti's majority)announced  last night, on the occasion of their relation to the draft law on financing political parties which have submitted all together happily, they are against the total abolition of Party funding. Given that on the argument I have already spoken, I repeat that I am also convinced that the electoral reimbursements should be given, but in a certain way which could guarantee their total exclusion from money management (direct reimbursement of the State to those who provide electoral services) . In this way, we are also sure that refunds are really reimbursements and nothing more. That said, I would like to pause a moment on the pleasing blend of voices that characterize the expression of these three party leaders today. People who should hate each other politically chirping so pretty, while light spring breeze envelops them. Now, if holding the nose you can come to conceive the idea that for sense of responsibility towards the State, new disease that has plagued them recently, they put themselves together in a government of national unity fucking  up what they politically believe , this is not the same thing. Here what keeps them together is only the sense of unity to their pockets. I realize that it can be demagoguery, I realize that may seem trivial and mundane speech, but I believe that simplicity sometimes hide the truth and this is one of those cases. It is possible that even on this issue should not come out different solutions and proposals from three parties that together would represent the vast majority of the country? Is it possible that you have to watch a show so ideologically disreputable, so painful when we make sacrifices and we are all drowning in taxes? They should not even have the face to appear in public and there are like three altar boys to make loans asserting to need not be prey to special interests, lobbyists. As if today they were different from so ...

Passera is laughing at us

Yesterday, during an interview, the italian Minister of Economic Development Corrado Passera has said some things that make me seriously think that our government is deeply convinced of the ineptitude of the majority of the population. If not, no one would have dared to fool us with words like those I heard him say. The indicted are the following two: that the government has proceeded to stimulate growth through liberalization (!) and that he is proud of its past as a banker, because among other things Italian banks during the crisis have not stopped the credit. Now, everything is fine, but here it is nearly ridiculous. I have already spoken on liberalizations in the past, basically they haven't liberalized anything, the country is slave of Federfarma and all the other lobbies that, more or less large and more or less with reason keep us grounded without growth. Nothing on notaries, taxi licenses, on petrol, nothing about anything. With the usual account, that they want us to become a country like the United States pretending to forget the factors that have made great their economy and remembering only the ones that make them rather often a social butchery. On the second point, however, there would indeed be even more laughs. The writer, fortunately or unfortunately, has a degree in Economics and Banking. I heard every single professor of my courses on the subject, saying that the banks do not grant credit as the did before. I heard personally the responsible for the credit of the largest Italian investment bank telling us that today is not like years ago, that things have changed. Leaving aside the reasons for which this happens, why to make such a claim? If you want to play on the words, you can say that until it is given even a little of credit it is not zero. But should it be the case to play with words? Also tragically, these days his words are blatantly falsified (see cases of suicide among entrepreneurs). There are difficulties for the financial system and for all, anyone has thought that the banks are charities, however they have certainly a more critical role in the crisis of all us and, despite this, are protected and have unparalleled influence the country's economy. They sure make their interests and their interest is in extending credit to earn,this is a complex discourse to deal with. I'm just wondering why you can push a person who definitely knows these things better than me to say such a thing ...

Bersani and the anti-politics

Pierluigi Bersani, head of the Democratic Party, said today that the parties need to counter the anti-politics, otherwise everyone would be wiped out. All of them, of course. He argues that there are around many sorcerer apprentices who raise an evil wind. I am coming increasingly to think that the PD has decided to ruin itself, thing they have already been good to do in the past. Theoretically speaking, he is politically at left, or at least in the center-left, so he should be close to people and close to the weaks. From what do you think the anti-politics is born? It rises from his choices, first of all, because people see that he and his friends are put together happily, abandoning the principles and fundamental rights that they should protect (see Article 18 for PD). From the fact that you put across to keep it from touching their salary, the fact that the policy does nothing more than bring scandals every day. Bersani should not be against the anti-politics, must understand the underlying reasons, must understand the disappointment, the disappointment that he has created and nurtured. He must understand that the anti-politics is  made of people who are interested in politics. The anti-politics is not a protest, is the attempt to change the politics from the outside, because we realized that from the inside it will never change. Bersani has to understand that the anti-political ideals of justice and equity  is the result of their inability, of their being away from everyone. Back to being close to people, instead of creating monsters that do not exist. In the dark, anything is scary, but if the light kindled in their minds they would see that there's really nothing to be afraid of. Otherwise, they will be swept away,...

Lusi, 13 millions more and the death of hope

While the Lega is facing the biggest crisis ever experienced  because of money of the party management and while the parliament hastily tries to patch up the continuous fool that our representatives are used to give us, some might having forgotten Lusi and Margherita. Today it turns out that the former treasurer of the party would have stolen from other funds of € 13 million, being not enough old ones. It goes almost to the background, almost like a non-news and all this is the mirror of the times. Times when the people who trust in politics has been reduced to only the members of parties. I write what I write because I believe in politics, although not in this one. I believe that among the many faults that these gentlemen have, there is also the fault of having reduced entire generations of young people to wonder if really worth being interested in what is around them. The world has always gone on for confidence in the future, for the enterprise, for the hope of the people. Italy today is nothing like that. The boys of my age eight times out of ten do not even look at the news. Beyond money, beyond the disgusting, beyond the banter, there is the awareness of being part of a society that is curled up on itself, whose face is on the tarmac and who is cornered. Their greatest sin is to have fallen asleep people's souls. All this must stop...
