Why Schlein gloats about differentiated autonomy

The referendum against differentiated autonomies, and against the Meloni government, goes up in a hot air balloon. Damato's Scratches

There is therefore life on the left, they said in those parts at the announcement of the 500 thousand signatures, both physical and digital, collected in just ten days by the promoters of the referendum to repeal the law on the implementation of differentiated regional autonomies, paradoxically introduced by the same left in 2001 in the Constitution. When it was thought that Umberto Bossi's League could thus be saved from the temptation of returning to Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right. Which instead happened regularly.

Of course, to win the referendum and hope to see Giorgia Meloni's government totter, especially now that Matteo Renzi is also counting on it, it is necessary that in order to go to the polls and vote against the "SpaccaItalia" law, as the opposition has called it, in millions, and not in hundreds of thousands, as if to sign the verification request. But from what, the optimists in those parts must have said, could something arise, reversing the course of referendums that failed due to lack of the so-called participation quorum.

At La Repubblica , the paper one, they even dismantled the front page to put the news of the 500 thousand signatures above that of the elimination in Iran of the head of Hamas, "centered" by Israel, as La Ragione di Davide was headlined with satisfaction in Italy Giacalone. Who must be reasonably convinced, precisely, that the terrorist – I repeat – "centered" has on his conscience, if he really had one, quite a bit, if not all those tens of thousands of Palestinians who died in Gaza because under their homes , their schools, their hospitals, Hamas leaders and militants had arranged and still have the missiles to launch against Israel.

With almost epic language in this torrid summer, Stefano Cappellini, again in Repubblica , thus recounted the exploits of the signature gatherers for the referendum who climbed on the hot air balloon of the opposition: “The umbrella, the anticyclone, the hot sun could do nothing. In just a few days, hundreds of thousands of Italians and Corsican Italians have signed the referendum proposal for the repeal of differentiated autonomy" and – hopefully for them – of a government which, among other wrongs, if not the main one, has that of having been sent to Palazzo Chigi by the voters on the centenary of the fascist march on Rome. So a "trust", as Carlo Rossella calls the prime minister in office, was able to succeed the Duce 77 years after his rejection in the Grand Council of 25 July 1943 and the removal finally ordered by the King, after frankly having allowed him too many. And then, rightly, he too paid for the effects with his abdication in the futile hope of saving the Monarchy from the 1946 referendum.
