I’ll tell you about the political show of the emergency
Damato's scratches on the government struggling with the Coronavirus emergency
Francesco Tullio Altan could not have better represented the situation on the first page of Repubblica , I don't know if it was more comical or dramatic, with that Cipputi in trousers and a sweater cheering, with arms raised and fists clenched, not for a certainty but for a question in front of him. to what happens around us, between the health and political emergency: "Will we make it ??".
The governor of Campania Vincenzo De Luca, in an authentic version and not imitated by Maurizio Crozza, has, in the face of the viral explosion in his region, among other things, the temporary closure of schools and the grillina minister of the sector, Lucia Azzolina, supported from the whole – once in a while – his movement, protesting demanding meetings, disavowals and so on. And she struggles even more when they inform her that the secretary of the Democratic Party Nicola Zingaretti does not criticize but "understands" the choice of his party colleague and counterpart from Campania, since Zingaretti himself is also governor of the Lazio region, which is also a neighbor. Well, it took a cartoonist – Stefano Rolli on Secolo XIX – to explain to the furious minister that if "the virus is not taken at school", as she screams, hanging on to data and so on, "it is not a good reason to bring it to us ".
A political uproar broke out in Montecitorio, narrated by the manifesto masterfully on the front page in just 185 lines: “Italia Viva blows up the reform on the vote of 18-year-olds for the Senate in the Chamber. The Pd to Conte: now a majority clarification at the highest levels. Palazzo Chigi fears the M5S implosion ”. Which is not the wrong acronym of the extinct Italian Social Movement but the true one of the 5 Star Movement of Beppe Grillo founder, guarantor, "elevated" and I don't know what else, born to be liquidly protesting and refractory to become solid as a normal party, and a government party.
But because Conte fears the "implosion" of the grillini in a summit of clarification, of "verification" or whatever you want to call it: also "table", as Matteo Renzi says, also thinking about the so-called reshuffle that could or should follow by moving ministers, by downloading a few and naming new ones? Because at the foot of the verification or similar there is, among other things, a problem called Mes , acronym of the European Stability Mechanism, or fund-save states. From which we could borrow more than 35 billion euros at an interest rate close to zero for ten years to strengthen the health system and induced a severe test by an epidemic that is about to make us import the curfew from France, and will perhaps force us to close key in the house at Christmas: really, not for some joke of the cartoonist Sergio Staino in the press .
Well, faced with the use solicited by the Democratic Party in the majority, read here the grillina line on the Mes exposed or dictated today in the Fatto Quotidiano by Marco Travaglio in the device, so to speak, of his sentence: "The Mes, in addition to not serving a club, no longer even has any convenience ". We run the risk of finding this Labor Governor of the Bank of Italy, kicking in the butt the one in office who recently also solicited the use of that European credit line.
To all this show it is recommended to attend in the last row, so that you can try to escape from the theater in time not to be overwhelmed by its collapse. But will we make it, with Altan's two question marks ??
