Yesterday, when we heard Minister Lollobrigida propose to lower VAT on the oysters to put as many consumers as possible in the condition of buying them “because they must not be a luxury product”, we immediately agreed with him. And this in the name of the well -known principle that the right would like to make even the poor more rich while the left make the rich become poorer. The utopia of the first is that everyone paste in champagne; That of the second is that everyone eats Panini.
Then we heard the resolves of the left, who began to make fun of the minister with the usual populism of Accattto – “The prices of eggs and butter continue to climb and Lollobrigida thinks about the oysters!” And we were even more lined up on its side. Trying to save a sector in crisis and helping fishermen brought to their knees by the blue crab is an excellent idea.
Finally, we remembered that in 2018 seven senators of the Democratic Party asked for an amendment to reduce taxes on oysters from 22 to 10% (and nobody spoke of “hungry people”), while in 2024 they wanted the same thing forza Italia, Lega and 5Stelle. Bipartisan amendment for a bivalve mollusk. There is. At that point Lollobrigida had won to cheles.
Of course, then the impression remains that the
Politics is a single large party of the oysters, transversal and delicious. So we move from Magna Charta to Magna Magna. And in the end the real taste is to see the right of the oysters to get the morale done by the Gauche Caviar.
