Who really threatens Italy?
What Italy should fear and what it should not fear. Damato's Scratches
One reads in the newspapers, with the evidence of the outbreak of a war, that Italy is "under examination" by the European Union, complete with inspectors arriving, or already staying in some hotel, or barracks for security reasons, and he thinks that, perhaps, in Brussels Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen wants to understand well if, where, and who made a mistake in handling agriculture so badly that it caused the tractors and even the cows to revolt . With which he also sympathized with a fairly famous former magistrate and politician like Antonio Di Pietro, who spontaneously returned to the fields where he had seen his father work to support him in his studies and make him have the career he did, even as an undertaker for the parties of an entire Republic, the first, defeated among an infinite number of warnings, suicide precautionary arrests and, proportionately, few convictions.
And all this to deliver the second Republic not to who knows which magistrate willing to govern it if called upon, as the head of a prosecutor's office let slip, but to an Italian version of Al Capone, as the now good soul ended up being represented in the judicial chronicles by Silvio Berlusconi. Whose ashes finally rest in peace, hopefully, in the home mausoleum watched over by the almost widowed Marta Fascina.
ARE EUROPEAN INSPECTORS REALLY A THREAT TO ITALY?
But what tractors, cows, milk and side dishes. One continues to read the newspapers and discovers that the European inspectors only have the task of dealing with some laws being examined by the Chambers: abuse of office, premiership, limits on information, especially judicial information, and the like. Well, in short, we have little to worry about, also because the European Parliament is now expiring. And with it also the bodies that send inspectors around.
And then, let's tell the whole not unpleasant truth about our country. It is doing much better than appearances and than the opposition wants to give in. More than by the wars, which are not lacking around us, from Ukraine to Gaza, and to the seas where Italian military ships have been sent to control and guarantee traffic, we seem caught up in destiny, that is, in the next well-compensated services, in Amadeus and Fiorello after the success of their fifth edition of the Sanremo song festival.
There are elections coming up at various levels – municipal, regional and national for the renewal of Italian representation in the European Parliament – but none threaten us like those of the Americans in November. Who are dealing with candidates for the White House whose pace and memory are uncertain. One of whom, already once president of the United States but eager to become one again, thinks of using Putin, his troops and his missiles to punish NATO countries that are late with payments to the Atlantic alliance. In Italy, not even Giuseppe Conte has reached this far in his opposition to Meloni and in his competition with PD secretary Elly Schlein.
