Dear Master Vittorio,
my soul, my logic, my common sense cannot accept that I have to live in a world where Salis is in Brussels and Minister Salvini (cheating) can be in jail. Only his support can make this pill a little less bitter, and make me understand that I was born in an undeniably upside-down world.
Grateful as a son.

Dear Domenico,
I’ll be brutal: I can’t console you in any way. But I’ll try, come on, to make you swallow the bitter pill. Just think that we could be worse off if these people here, that is, the left, were still leading the country and hadn’t been sensationally sent home (and to hell) during the last legislative elections. It’s just that the progressives just can’t take it, everything that is connected to legality, order, security, respect for the essential rules of the rule of law, they can’t stomach it. You mention Ilaria Salis. Good. This lady, as I have already had the opportunity to discuss in this same column dedicated to readers, has promoted the cancellation of crimes that she considers minor, that is, not serious, of little importance, crimes that we can, in her opinion, overlook, in order to reach what Salis calls “a world without prisons”, or a world where criminals do not cease to exist, but rather wander around freely, since it is not possible to create a society in which crime no longer exists. This is why it must be opposed, fought, even through the instrument of prison, whose function is re-educational, aimed at social reintegration. The same lady would like to introduce the right to illegal occupation. Do you know what would automatically follow from this? The abolition of private property. But it is from the birth of private property, that is, from the need to protect it, that law was born, and from law democracy as we know it today. Unfortunately, these ideas are not only Ilaria Salis’s, but belong to all those like her, to her red comrades. The institutions are full of individuals like Salis, who row against the rule of law, so Ilaria within the European Parliament is not an exception, but a widespread rule.
And it is natural, dear Domenico, that for us, citizens who respect the founding values of the Republic, this reality causes some stomach ache, especially when we realize that a minister, who has defended the principle according to which Italy can and must not be raped by anyone anymore, as well as the exercise by the State of its prerogative to establish who can and cannot enter its own territory, is persecuted and prosecuted, to the point of risking six years of detention, by a system of power that appears unbalanced and unrational, if not downright unfair and monstrous, due to an unscrupulous ideologization that is completely incompatible with the criminal process and with Justice in general.
You should also take a digestive. I already did this morning.
