Condemned to disappear: small centers victims of the lockdown. Perverse design or dangerous stupidity?
A few nights ago there was Debora Serracchiani in the Fourth Republic who, being a Communist or post-Communist, understands little about the economy and the economic crisis. What did Debora say, all inspired? He said that "this lockdown situation mainly penalizes large cities". It is exactly the opposite: the metropolises, afflicted, devastated as much as you want, have the strength of the mass that somehow allows you to get by, centers of two, three million people cannot be completely blocked, they are still teeming with humanity that has the his commitments, his emergencies, his encounters, his pockets of resistance, however difficult. They are lungs in apnea, but they don't stop breathing. The real devastation occurs in small towns and here the writer speaks from personal experience having lived both in Milan and in a tiny seaside resort. It is the villages, the villages that will never recover from this endless and guiltless pain. Small and very small communities where few shops closed, and closed forever, make the difference. Where the few roads echo of hopeless deserts. Where people, habitual, sedentary, get even more used to not venturing out and remain in this spell. And if she tries, she immediately finds the zealous policeman who asks her for self-certification, even if she knows very well who she is in front of.
They are not, it means, the few big cities to disappear completely as the eight thousand bell towers that from the Alps to Capo Passero innervate this country. Holiday centers, tiny municipalities, mountain resorts: all gone, gone forever. Let's take the Marche, a region that in fact no longer exists. First the earthquake, the devastation, the reconstruction never started, the tempting promises of the commissioners almost always of Piddina origin; then the virus, the closures, the curfews, the red and increasingly red areas, the refreshments that do not arrive, the farce of partial reopening, by zone, in time that finish killing the local communities made up of small coins, shops, of managers and customers who know each other, speak up, hang out with each other. All buried.
The Marches have been terrible for five years, which have brought every sector to its knees and then landed in the indifference that is reserved for small regions, with little voice, without politicians able to channel resources. Left to itself, this spot in the center of Italy "finds no dog barking at it" and does not even know how to protest; she is worn out, resigned. The mountain centers destroyed by the earthquake languish, the seaside places are extinguished. No tourism expectations.
Serracchiani does not know or perhaps does not care, the Democratic Party of struggle for the government is distinguished by comic priorities on the edge of the offensive in this timeless time, the ius soli , the vote for children who cannot study, the battle a little hysterical on the armchairs. Among the things that the aestheticizing Pd are not interested in or are not interested in, the disturbing economic substitution that turns on the ethnic: here as in the big cities, but here in a more obvious way, a myriad of exercises without a future, without presuppositions, are opening up. Who are these fools who throw money on dying businesses to be born? But they are not crazy, it is the mafias, Italian or foreign, it is the Ndrangheta as well as the Balkan or Chinese criminals, who open and close, scatter the territory with screens to serve as laundries for dirty money.
The lockdown is good for crime, there is a very recent report from Dia which says that the business of the dirty economy has grown in the last year by 25 percent. Whole regions of hard-working people, on average honest, replaced by networks of underworld that redefine, for worse and much worse, not only the local economies but, consequently, the social fabric. As the Guardia di Finanza knows very well, which in these parts is alerted but the loser. All the more reason to reopen, immediately, with due caution but immediately and in the sunlight.
What are you doing? If there is one thing that the pandemic has revealed, he confirmed, it is the left's attitude to authoritarian leadership in total ignorance or indifference of the consequences. Another short-sighted Communist or post-Communist, the former secretary Zingaretti, told a morning program that the solution for the activities in crisis is certainly not to reopen, better the refreshments, public support. As for the unfortunate but inevitable logic of state subsidization that gives rise to inequalities, subdivisions, corruption. Then they say they are not conspiracy theorists, but if one does not want to believe in the perverse design of a Western redefinition, of a small or large Reset , of a revenge of communism defeated by reality, then all that remains is to conclude for a disconcerting but no less dangerous stupidity. .
