The political manifesto of Giorgia Meloni
What do I think of the programmatic speech to the Chambers of the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni. The opinion of Sergio Pizzolante, entrepreneur and former PDL parliamentarian
The speech of the Prime Minister?
This sentence is enough for me: "those who believe it is possible to trade Ukraine 's freedom for our tranquility are wrong"
In this sentence there is everything.
Because if we accept the idea that we conquer our tranquility by accepting and, therefore, contributing to the end of the freedom of those who ask us for help, we lose our freedom, the very value of freedom, we would no longer be free men, we would not be more men.
If in order to have something that serves to warm us we accept, we contribute to the freezing of the bodies of children in mass graves or forgotten on the street, we are no longer human beings.
This goes beyond the meaning of President Meloni's subsequent words.
When he reminds us that if we accept gas blackmail, it means communicating to the criminal that we are ready to accept subsequent blackmail.
This is enough for me to say: great speech.
But there is more, much more.
It is not a speech, it is a political manifesto.
A cultural turning point.
With Fiuggi, the former missini have left fascism behind, with Meloni they have given themselves a political, ideal, robustly Western constitution.
A liberal manifesto and conservative demo.
European style.
A remarkable leap forward.
Far from the right-handed babble of a short time ago.
On the Euro, Europe, the West, immigrants, work, business.
But close to the best of European conservative liberal culture.
The English one before Brexit, so to speak.
A manifesto founded on the value of freedom.
As a powerful tool to combat any oppression, political, cultural, social, economic, fiscal, military.
Almost up to Europe as a new homeland.
Respectful of the homelands of origin.
Remarkable.
And on the responsibility of politics, against all populism.
We will displease someone, he said, but to do what we believe in.
Remarkable.
We will see. We will see.
But Giorgia Meloni arrived on time for this appointment with history.
Finally, this discourse, this manifesto, lays bare the dramatic backwardness of the left.
Who is scandalized by the use of the word Merit.
That chases Conte's populism.
Which cannot call itself a Socialist or a Social Democratic.
Who does not know how to deal with the founding value of justicialism.
Which thrives on labels printed on containers with no contents.
A drama.
For them and for Italian democracy.
And for a socialist, as I am.
We hope they will learn the Lesson over time.
