Parliament between miracles and tafazzi

Parliament between miracles and tafazzi

What happens on Def and beyond. Damato's Scratches

Although in a reduced form, indeed very reduced, and in an atmosphere not of celebration but of brawl, with the shop assistants committed to containing the eagerness to give them and not only to say them of all colors, the Chamber witnessed the miracle of the multiplication of loaves and of the fish told by the Gospels. Those present at the vote on a revised and corrected resolution of the resolution on the Economic and Financial Document rejected the day before due to absences went from 319 to 337, still about sixty less than the full number, yes from 195 to 221, twenty more the minimum necessary, the votes against from 19 to 116, the abstentions having dropped from 105 to zero.

The majority apologized in the classroom with various interventions for the sloppiness, to say the least, of the day before: apologised, in truth, more than with the Italians, distracted by the May 1st holiday like so many parliamentarians, with the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni . Whose cries of protest raised from distant London, now also outside the European Union, were also heard in Rome. Where it is not certain that, even after the accident has returned, there will not be effects of some significance in the next few days, anticipated by the rest of the controversies that have exploded in all the parliamentary groups of the government coalition due to the way in which they are directed and organised, so to speak.

Another miracle that occurred after the slip, the embarrassment, the Thursday incident immediately called "black", like the negative days of the Stock Exchanges, was that of the times. In other words, the ability to run that one manages to find, even within the constraints of the so-called bicameralism, when one has the opportunities and the will. In just one day, giving back to those concerned at least a little of the 1st May bridge compromised by unforeseen events, the updated resolution on the economic and financial document was approved by both the House and the Senate. As happened on the distant, very distant March 16, 1978 for the discussion and the vote of confidence in a renewed one-color Christian Democrat government of Giulio Andreotti negotiated with the communists to obtain complete external support, and no longer just meager abstention. Whose suffering had been immortalized by Giorgio Forattini in Repubblica in a cartoon of Enrico Berlinguer in a dressing gown with his hair standing on end with bewilderment and fear at the cries of the metalworkers who paraded under the window of the house to protest against the government not opposed by the PCI.

The tragic kidnapping of Aldo Moro's brigade then moved the Chambers, and brought back the last stomachaches to the Communist Party for the confirmation of some unwelcome ministers, above all Carlo Donat-Cattin. Now, fortunately, Meloni's protests against the "tafazzi" who had ruined the English party from Rome for an Italian economy that "is doing well", despite everything, as per today's title built with the words of the premier on the front page from Corriere della Sera .
