Short addendum
(… useless to those in good faith, but also to those in bad faith… )
Since the League is a dead party, and considering that I'm irrelevant within it anyway, and more generally that I'm not worth much as a politician, but am worthless as an intellectual because I've renounced all my ideas—which is why, even if this blog existed, no one would read it—I'll add a quick explanatory note to the previous post, also to clarify the difference between tactical and strategic objectives (and therefore to define a strategy).
Given that, as we all know, we live in an ultra-presidential republic (defined as a presidential republic whose President is immune from any political responsibility, i.e., totally unaccountable , according to the Constitution), one thing and one thing alone is crucial: that the next President of the Republic not be a member of the Democratic Party. I remind the educated and distinguished that in 2022 the parliamentary majority was left-wing (an abacus will help you). Today it is right-wing, and it is appropriate that it remain so in 2027. To achieve this strategic goal, it obviously makes tactical sense not to quixotically confront those powers that have demonstrated their ability to resist change. Simply walk around them, elegantly. When you want to pull an octopus out of a hole, you don't pull: you push, so that it detaches its suckers…
As I wandered around the sewer, I noticed that this simple principle is being ignored by a disparate group of people looking for a publisher, who unanimously accuse the League (or me) of betraying their voters because "you said you wanted to leave the euro and now you say stability helps."
Now, assuming that I have always said that it would be the euro that would leave us and not us from the euro, and that the proposal that I intellectually supported, because it was more rational, is that of the Manifesto of European Solidarity , which envisages a dismantling of the Eurozone "from above", in any case I hoped for the recovery of nominal flexibility when we were in B like Bagnai:
because this (with all due respect to the idiots who didn't understand it) would have been necessary to avoid the social butchery of the PD, today calmly admitted by Draghi, which brought us to the D.
But now we're in Division D, with an enviable competitive position, with room to give citizens some breathing space (which is being done, even if the media doesn't take notice), and with enemies on the brink of implosion. Would it make sense now to create financial and therefore political instability (because that's how it works today) by aiding our external enemies and their ally, our internal enemy?
No!
This is why I would defend the government's maneuver even if it were what the fake news from the Democratic Party, the Five Star Movement, and the Zerovirgo supporters are telling us (but it isn't).
Obviously the sewer is full of rodents who don't understand these things, or pretend not to understand them.
Among the first I would certainly put the philosopher Becchi, who is to politics what a capybara is to Vivaldi concertos, and the economist Zibordi, who is to macroeconomics what a nutria is to differential geometry, but also the graceful Sabrysocial, who is to everything what a chinchilla is to Wimbledon races.
Among the latter, some crafty information operator, who sooner or later will make a misstep, and for now is limited to trying to make you do it.
We know where we want to go, we've told you, and we've shown you that we can take steps in that direction even in a complex context like the current legislature: not only the vote against ratifying the ESM, not only the refusal to join the Pandemic Treaty, but also the FdI vote against von der Leyen and the Prime Minister's statement against majority voting would not have happened without the pressure from the League (which, of course, made these decisions against my will, because I betrayed them, but fortunately I'm irrelevant, as some squawking capons and too many chickens believe…).
You're free to support us, or to follow the Democratic Party and its miraculous cohort of dwarves, ballerinas… and trumpeters! Things will go as they should, with or without us, but above all without them!
Good night!
