Meloni and Bonaccini between Peppone and Don Camillo
Who is rowing against Bonaccini, post- flood commissioner in Emilia-Romagna ? Damato's Scratches
Those photos that portray together the prime minister and the Piddino "governor" of Emilia-Romagna devastated by water and mud, first upon the premier's arrival in the flooded land and then in Rome, where the government has allocated the first two billion euro government for the most urgent intervention measures, are comforting images. How much, if not even more than those wonderful volunteers who rushed to the spot to help a population that truly deserves it for their ability to reciprocate and for the strength they have in their hearts and in their guts.
On the other hand, we are in the land of Polesine which already touched us as children, always due to the water that devastated it, and of that genius Giovannino Guareschi. Who managed to set the nice humanization, with Peppone and Don Camillo, of a clash between communists and anti-communists that could have turned into a terrible tail of the civil war, in which both had found themselves together, to free Italy from Nazi fascism.
BONACCINI, MELONS, PEPPONE AND DON CAMILLO
I don't want to say that Stefano Bonaccini with his aviator glasses is so different, physically, Peppone and Giorgia Meloni from Don Camillo for that religious faith so well expressed on every occasion you get, so much so that it deserves applause, smiles and other less visible niceties than Pope Francis himself. Many analysts have been alarmed who live as an obsession with the possibility that the times of the Christian Democrats will return, surprisingly replaced by that "Party of the Nation" that is allegedly cultivated by the very astute and declared conservative leader of the right.
I do not want to say, I repeat, that Bonaccini is to Peppone what Meloni is to Don Camillo, but allow me at least to write that I felt sick to read and hear, between newspapers and television lounges, of the resistance opposed by the government majority from the Northern League to instinct just warned by the prime minister to entrust the "governor" of the region devastated by water and mud with the role of extraordinary commissioner also for reconstruction.
TSO POLITICIANS
I would have felt the same stomach if, with politically reversed parties, in a centre-left government, or whatever the hell you would like to call it in the confusion of the political formulas to which we have become accustomed over the last thirty years, I had gotten wind of resistance in the Democratic Party and its surroundings , faced with a flooded Veneto instead of Emilia Romagna, against the promotion to extraordinary commissioner of a "governor" like Luca Zaia because he is a Northern League member.
In my opinion, politicians tempted by similar reactions deserve only the so-called Tso, i.e. compulsory medical treatment. Almost like, on an international level, Putin and those who understand and unashamedly justify the war on Ukraine, attributing the dead to the attacked and not to the aggressors.
