I’ll tell you about the confusions of Renzi and those who are pro-Renzi
Amnesia and contradictions of political and media liberals on the left. The Festive Prayer for Times
On Dagospia from Roberto Gressi's article in Corriere della Sera : “There is a queue, hat in hand, in front of that door. Beggars, suitors, hungry for votes, plunderers of political inheritance, bearers of gifts, who are the most fearsome. Indeed, more than a queue it is a crowd […] They swear that they can be trusted and others cannot. […] Because to sit in Strasbourg, even just on a folding seat, you need at least four percent. […] The door is that of Emma Bonino, 75 years old […]”.
It seems to me that Gressi realistically describes the state of the so-called moderate wing of the left, a kind of huddle made up of remnants of ancient political classes, more inspired by a spirit of survival (a sort of what George Wilhelm Frederick Hegel called "the party of the loaf" ) which gives political visions and ideals.

On Linkiesta , Iuri Maria Prado writes: “The press release from independent social centers with which +Europa is accredited on the “legal” scene in the company of South Africa, the fake UN lawyers fighting against the Jewish lobby and the UNWRA staff responsible for maintenance of the Hamas servers represents the best proof of the anti-Israeli and anti-Zionist triumph even in the interstices of Italian politics, where you would imagine some hypothetical capacity for resistance to the common trend and where instead the contamination is even better, like dirt hardened in the tile joints.
Catching the news of a very serious incident, about which nothing is known, and turning it around in the tweet designed to call for an "immediate ceasefire" (which the International Court of Justice doesn't even know), or to condemn "the carnage in Gaza ", about which "there can be no justification", or even to hope "that the Israelis themselves will send Netanyahu home as soon as possible, who with his war is leading Israel to isolation", means surfing on the tidal waves of mud who bring the incontrovertible news, as certified by the Black September Journalists' Order, namely that the army of the Zionist Entity shoots at desperate people queuing for bread".
If there is one thing that had always struck me about Marco Pannella it was his uncompromising solidarity towards Israel and its people, it is therefore very sad to see some of his heirs behave in the way described by Prado on Linkiesta.

On Huffington Post , Angela Mauro writes: “Since Ursula von der Leyen officially became the EPP candidate for the presidency of the European Commission, a real pigeon shooting has been launched against her. Not a day goes by without an attack, a criticism, a distancing from the majority partners who should vote for it in the European Parliament, if it is indicated by the leaders after the European elections in June. Today Matteo Renzi also stands out, leader of Italia viva who in Europe belongs to the political family of Renew Europe, the same as Emmanuel Macron. “Ursula in my opinion should not be confirmed – says Renzi in his closing speech at the Leopolda, in Florence – If I am elected to the European Parliament, I will propose to vote against, asking Renew Europe to identify a leader and not a follower of the ideology ”
At a certain point Renzi interpreted the innovative spirit of the left but he did so having, beyond certain results in primaries and European elections, a very narrow political and social base (that malignant commentator on political things, Rino Formica, defined the Renzians "the first zero kilometer clique") and has remedied this structural deficiency with a very strong relationship with Washington. Today, when Joe Biden has particular need of Giorgia Meloni to intervene in Europe and the Mediterranean, poor Renzi is looking for support in order to survive in Emmanuel Macron, giving him anti-von der Leyen services aimed at giving Paris some room for manoeuvre. It is strange to see a little mouse like Renzi, although not lacking in political intelligence, climb instead of running away from a ship like the Macronian one which is sinking

In Formiche , Luigi Tivelli writes: “I believe that for a young party that gradually seems a little less personal (we hope) like Action this means two things mainly. On the one hand, to recover that sense of historical memory and that political thought that descends from Mazzini and Cattaneo up to the best anti-fascism of secular origin, to then innervate various aspects of the extraordinary saga of Pannunzio's "World" and arrive at the lesson of Ugo La Malfa and Spadolini”
I have a lot of sympathy for nostalgia, especially those like Tivelli that recall the political quality of the First Republic. But we must always think starting from reality. The possibility of counting on authoritative secular forces in Italian politics before '92 was based on subjects that today not only no longer exist, but also appear difficult to reproduce. In fact, if today instead of Enrico Cuccia there is Alberto Nagel, if instead of post-World War II Turin there is that of John Elkann and Margherita Agnelli, if instead of Leopoldo Pirelli there is Marco Tronchetti Provera, if instead of Adriano Olivetti there is Carlo De Benedetti, if instead of Raffaele Mattioli there is Pier Carlo Padoan, if instead of Indro Montanelli you have Marco Travaglio, if instead of Mario Pannunzio you have Fabio Fazio and instead of Luigi Lucchini you have Emma Marcegaglia, the possibility of having parties like the liberal one of Giovanni Malagodi or the republican one of Ugo La Malfa or the radical one of Marco Pannella, it is equal to zero.
