One can also survive on anti-sovereignty, but the reasons for sovereignty are still intact
Matteo Renzi manages to sell his product well, if not to the voters ( Italia Viva does not exceed 3 percent in the polls), at least to the media who have given wide prominence to the eleventh edition of Leopolda , the annual kermesse organized by the former premier.
Over the past weekend Renzi almost ousted Covid from the television news and appeared to be a more than decisive leader for the fate of the nation, even though he was in fact at the head of a small political group. Indeed, Matteo Renzi has so far managed to affect political life despite the size of Italia Viva , helped without doubt, on this Romano Prodi is not wrong, by the electoral law and by a system that is always kept away from complete democratic maturity. He was instrumental in starting Giuseppe Conte's second government and now we are also looking at the moves of the Renzian parliamentary patrol in view of the election of the new President of the Republic.
This message essentially came out of Leopolda: Renzi's political project takes place at the center and at an enormous distance from what has been identified as “Conte and Meloni's sovereignty-populism”. Probably the leader of IV is thinking of that neo-centrism dreamed of by many and intent on clinging to the figure of Mario Draghi, also because Italia Viva , which does not even have the percentages of the old Udc of Casini and Cesa, would conclude very little in complete solitude . Although, and unfortunately we cannot ignore this, Italy is slipping more and more towards a proportionalist involution in which small political parishes can dictate the law.
Renzi's aversion to so-called sovereignty-populism is legitimate, but contradictory. Faced with a specific political offer, it is entirely legitimate in a democracy to oppose an alternative, although content is needed and it is not enough to say only “against” something or someone. The contradiction lies in the repulsion towards Giuseppe Conte, who, moreover, represents a reality that cannot be assimilated to that of Giorgia Meloni. Of course, the 5 Stars, assisted by Fatto Quotidiano , have never shied away from heavily exploiting the judicial troubles of Renzi and his family, and of course there is no good blood between the two entourages, but we have endured almost a year and a half of Contian paternalism and populism, what it was and really is, the Giallorossi, thanks above all to the maneuvers of the same person who last Sunday, from the Leopolda stage, exclaimed: "Never with Conte!".
We note that sovereignty continues to be a nightmare to be driven out for Matteo Renzi and for many others, almost a monster to be suppressed with napalm. There are those who have lived and perhaps built a good career on anti-fascism, on anti-mafia, or even on anti-traxism and anti-Berlusconism, therefore, why not, one can also live on anti-sovereignism. But do not forget that all the issues that emerged in a particular political season, however not even concluded, which were articulated throughout the West through the unexpected victory of Donald Trump in America, Brexit and affirmations are still there, unresolved. election campaigns of Eurosceptic forces in the Old Continent, including Salvini's League.
Trump is no longer president of the United States and Matteo Salvini is part of a government of broad understandings that involves a nuance, perhaps excessive, of the political line of the Carroccio, but the discontent of the Western middle classes has not subsided at all, and if anyone for various reasons stop being the interpreter, someone else arrives immediately to collect the Olympic torch that has just been abandoned (in the Italian case, the "someone else" could be the Brothers of Italy, at least according to the polls).
The pandemic has sadly demeaned the political and public debate, canceling all other Italian and global emergencies, and creating, with the instrumental complicity of governments and bad information, a sort of misleading civil war, first, between those terrified of the virus and so called deniers, later, among the vaccinated and the no-vax . Everything has been put into the no-vax cauldron, even the multi-vaccinated who, however, do not accept all the impositions of the establishment.However, net of the many journalistic lies, there is an important slice of society that does not allow itself to be enchanted by conspiracy anymore extreme, which has always existed however, at least since the attack on the Twin Towers in New York, but it does not want to end up crushed under a new authoritarianism, based on health reasons and present, ouch us, especially in Italy and in some parts of Italy. Europe.
These people are asking only a little common sense and will make themselves heard in the polls, in our country and elsewhere. They will also remember everything that was discussed before February 2020, namely a globalization that is not bad in itself, but is poisoned by unfair competitors like China; a European Union which keeps all its imbalances intact and which is questioned not by right-wing extremists, as one would have us believe, but by democratically elected governments such as the Polish and Hungarian ones. Finally, a clandestine immigration that hardly makes the news anymore, but continues as and more than before in the total lack of interest on the part of those who would have the duty to impose a stop on the merchants of men and death.
