69% of Italians want to deal with Putin. What if the people are wiser than the government?

Yesterday a poll by Pagnoncelli in "Di Tuesday" must have made many politicians go the wrong way after dinner, also because they revealed that Italian citizens are much more mature than those who govern them.

Here are the results :

• Who is winning: According to 39% of respondents, the Russian president is losing it. "In reality they see the outcome of the conflict still a long way off", the pollster commented. 28% of Italians then believe that Putin is winning. As many as 33% "are unable to express themselves on the matter". A division that appears very intelligent, given the uncertainty of any war affair in general;
• What Kiev should do: 3% give up, 42% resist, 15% don't know. Here too we divide, but deciding on the skin of the highs is very complicated.
• What to do in relations with Russia ?. “The answers in this case are very clear”, Pagnoncelli said. According to 69%, in fact, “Italy must negotiate with Russia and must find mediation with this country”. While only 21% of the interviewees "are for the line of firmness and must firmly oppose Russia". 10% do not know or do not express themselves

The only clear-cut position is that of realism: Russia is there now and there will also be tomorrow. To deal does not mean to go along or to support, or to make the seats of others, but to find a balance composition, obviously if it is possible. Also because eventually becoming economically autonomous from Moscow requires will and time. Neither the former is seen, as European and national energy policies demonstrate, and in any case there is now no latter. Among other things, it is not even a question of failing in NATO solidarity, since no NATO nation has been attacked.

The Italians, who experience the harshness of everyday life on their own skin, are much more realistic than the government, which took office, driven by a ridiculous anti-Russian vocation. Personally, I would like a country sufficiently solid and balanced not to need to be dominated by Moscow, or Brussels or Washington, and I have the idea that the majority of Italians think the same way, but whose political weight is zero. Long live democracy in Europe., ..
