– What would be the “non plus ultra” for Fdi? To be able to get elected von der Leyen, with whom Meloni has a good relationship, but without getting her hands dirty. Call it “external support”, if you like: no trust in the Commission, but when the crucial dossiers will be presented in the coming months then FdI and the Ecr in general could come to the rescue.
– Of the “save home” the most logical innovation concerns the “bi-climatic pergolas” (but who gave them this name?): finally it will be possible to assemble them without asking anyone for anything. Fewer rules, more life. Mario Mountains offers to Georgia Melons “a broad and constructive food for thought” on how to behave in the EU. Intuitively, I would do the opposite.
– Monti self-advocating his book in the editorial in the Corriere is something terribly self-referential. And a little embarrassing.
– The photo of Matteo Renzi And Elly Thin who hug each other after a goal in the match of their heart obviously deserves the front pages of the newspapers. Because it shows what politics should be, and unfortunately almost never is: they fight over ideas, you can even be harsh if you want, but then they are friends – or almost – like before. What is surprising about that image is the passion with which Elly puts her arms around Matteo’s neck. A high five would have been enough to thank him for the assist. And instead…
– The photo makes the left dream and there are already those who imagine a very broad winning field. False hopes. First: a photo does not make a political agreement. Second: Renzi he is capable of arguing even with himself, imagine if a hug is enough to seal a long-term pact. The image is suggestive, but it lacks political foundations.
– Whispers, rumors, hypotheses. Even FdI has not decided whether or not to vote for Ursula von der Leyen. “I see it as difficult”, someone says, especially “if she continues to make statements in favor of the Greens” and if she says she does not want to make “a programmatic agreement” with other forces. The problem for Giorgia Meloni is that she has a lot to lose whether she decides not to vote for Ursula or if she does in the end. The reason? If she does not vote for her, she risks being left out of the game in the EU and, as we know, those who are not part of the majority do not touch the ball. If she votes for her, however, she could end up losing the vote and support of those who sent her to Europe to “change Europe” and not to end up with the same old story. They are two equally logical, but contrasting positions. Which is why the prime minister will have to make a crucial choice for her future in these hours.
– In Florence some boys had praised the Shoah in a chat that had become famous throughout Italy. They ended up on trial, a proceeding that began only five years after the fact. Five years. At which point the judge, having arrived in court, decided that this was enough: the very long wait “abandoned to their fate” was a sufficient punishment in itself. Very good. Actually: very bad. Because the judge, in addition to acquitting the boys for their prank as 14-year-olds, should have condemned, at least in words, a crazy and unjust judicial system, which takes five years to open a very banal trial. The judiciary should be condemned, but for manifest incompetence.
– The dossier drawn up by the Commission European on Telemeloni? Listen to what Repubblica writes when it reports it: the report “retraces a bit, in fact, the news and public denunciations of newspapers, opposition forces, and the journalists’ union”. In practice they read Repubblica and La Stampa and made a dossier out of it. Translated: balance, zero. If they had asked us we would have told them that it’s all bullshit.
– Musk moves its corporate headquarters from California to Texas because of
a law on transgender children: in practice, schools will be prohibited from informing parents if their children intend to change the gender they identify with. The woke ideology will cause thousands of job losses.
