Mystery Speranza, Minister of Lockdown not by chance: behind him a progressive world that dreams of “transition”
From city planning councilor of the Municipality of Potenza to minister of health. This is the mysterious parable of Roberto Speranza's career. Yes, it is true that in the middle he was the leader of the Democratic Party in the House when Bersani was secretary, but who remembered it? Before him, in Count I, the minister of health was Giulia Grillo, Carneade too, but at least she is a doctor, in the 5 Star Movement she has always dealt with health issues and in fact represented, in that strategic department, the then party most voted in Italy. It is strange to say the least that a non-existent party in the country and tiny in Parliament such as the LeU has been assigned a place of such importance. It is incomprehensible, then, that it was even confirmed in the Draghi government. Even the authoritative Der Spiegel inserts Speranza, together with Conte, in a dossier in which he denounces the misdeeds, omissions and cover-ups in the coronavirus emergency.
Without bothering the prestigious German periodical, we also realized in Italy that the minister was inadequate to say the least. No updating of the pandemic plan, no strengthening of hospital beds, anti- Covid health protocol that does not include basic home care, in a lethal way for many patients. He was only able to close everything and still continues undaunted. Here, on closing everything and on the social and economic consequences of these measures, we can find some solid reasons for his appointment to Health.
Let's face it right away: I don't believe the narrative that Hope is simply the wrong person in the wrong place. Otherwise someone like Draghi – Mattarella or not Mattarella – would have accepted the well-founded and logical requests for discontinuity that came strong from important pieces of the current majority. And why would Mattarella have demanded confirmation from the minister? Why are they both "left"? Let's not joke, if it really happened it is for other and much more substantial reasons. The main one is that Hope was put there to do exactly what he did. Why him? We have already seen that he comes from a numerically irrelevant political background, he does not have a charisma or a strong personality of his own, he has never dealt with health care in his life. In short, apparently there is no logical reason why he was appointed to that role and was confirmed after the disastrous management of the emergency.
In the past, we only remember that John Hopkins University has certified that Italy is the country in the world with the highest number of deaths from Covid per 100,000 inhabitants. A disaster, which should have resulted in an expulsion with ignominy, and instead he had the prize and is still there to give us lessons on TV.
But what political world does Roberto Speranza come from? Yes, from the Democratic Party, but above all from the power system of Massimo D'Alema (and Bersani). D'Alema, who has long been out of Parliament and the Democratic Party, exerts considerable influence on the governments of which the left is part (that is, almost all of them in Italy). This power is managed by him as president of the ItalianiEuropei Foundation , a think tank that has become very solid and important within the galaxy of “thought-pieces” of the progressive European world. Roberto Speranza is a member of the steering committee of the ItalianiEuropei Foundation . Indeed, for several years, D'Alema was president of the Foundation for European Progressive Studies , that is the foundation that brings together all the most important progressive European think tanks.
In this progressive political universe, lockdown is not only proposed as the only remedy for the virus but also as a morally "just" solution. That is, the blind observance of restrictive measures is a distinctive sign of civility, love for others, moral superiority (old defect of the left around the world). Whoever expresses doubts or dissent towards liberticidal measures is an uncivilized, an upstart and, ultimately, a sinister fascist. From this point of view, Speranza in Italia has pursued this approach with coherence and determination. The most important and most influential foundation of this European galaxy is the British Fabian Society , in which D'Alema is at home. The Fabian takes its name from Quinto Fabio Massimo, known as the Temporeggiatore . Fabianism, in fact, since its foundation in 1884, believes in the gradual evolution of society, through reforms that gradually lead precisely to socialism, unlike Marxism which preaches a revolutionary change. But it always aims at socialism, at collectivism. Fabian tends to be against private property, especially that of small owners and small business owners.
One of the many illustrious Fabians of the past is that George Orwell, author of "1984" , the novel about a dystopian future of humanity never so close to reality as today. All the leading exponents of the British Labor Party come from the Fabian Society . Those of the past and those of the present. Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Jeremy Corbin, current Labor leader Keir Starmer and his deputy Angela Rayner, are, or have been, all Fabians. Starmer is a member of the executive committee of Fabian and Sadiq Khan, Labor Mayor of London, is even vice president. Speaking of Gordon Brown, the latest Labor Prime Minister, Roberto Speranza boasts that his cousin Ken was a close collaborator. Hope is English on her mother's side. The Fabian Society is both strongly elitist and convinced collectivist, John Maynard Keynes himself was a Fabian.
Returning to the lockdown and coronavirus , it is extremely interesting to read what the reference journal, founded by the Fabian Society , i.e. New Statesman, writes about it. In the articles on the pandemic there are indeed references to some abuse by governments on segregation or to the negative consequences of the same, but the basic message that emerges is: but are we sure that before we were doing so well? That the return to normality and mass entertainment is a desirable fact? After all, citizens gave their best during the pandemic while before we were burying the planet with pollution and climate change … now even the least skilled worker will have the right to access to technology and can only claim to go to the office. a few days a week working from home the remaining days. On the economic side, if you read the speeches of scholars close to Fabian , the post-pandemic recipe can be summarized in more debt and more taxes.
And here we can go back to Italy, because Good Hope will be well connected in the world of Anglo-Saxon Labor, but it doesn't do everything by itself. Who is the greatest debt advocate (the good one, that is)? Mario Draghi. He had it inflated as governor of the ECB with Quantitative Easing to save the euro from the just shipwreck it was destined for by the market and he is doing it, like any other count, as prime minister. It is fueling the illusion that budgetary constraints can be loosened indefinitely, pretending not to notice that a country that is well above 160 percent debt-to-GDP ratio, which has already made more than 100 billion of deviation and now it is preparing to account for another 20, in addition to the 27 billion received from the European Sure funds. The account of all this will soon be presented to the Italians and Draghi knows it very well. He doesn't say a word about the only real solution to this problem: growth. Indeed, he continues to promise further business closures if we don't play good. On the other hand, "scientific evidence" forces him to do so, what can he do about it? Together with Speranza he is a convinced closurist and a lover of all shades of red. It does not tell us that the only way to save the country is to go back to living and free economy. He has targeted small and medium-sized enterprises since the speech for trust in his government, promising that aid will be selective, that is, only for those companies that, in his opinion, will have a future. I accept bets on what they will be. It pursues the welfare policy of citizenship income, so as to make citizens increasingly dependent on the state and not on their work. He wants the ecological and technological transition to "save the climate" (Greta docet ) and bury the entrepreneurs "who pollute". From his first moves he seems to like the control of the state over the lives of citizens / subjects. He is undermining private property with the extension of the eviction block, proletarian expropriation from gauche caviar , all just like a good Fabian. Yes, because Draghi is a liberal , not a liberal. He defines himself as a liberal socialist, which is an oxymoron but which leads him straight back to the tradition of the most important Fabiano in Italy: Carlo Rosselli.
