A public opinion stirred up by an obsessive propaganda which has given weight and consistency to a perceived reality and which has transformed politics into a gossip of shady characters in underwear and shirtless as well as licensed womanizers, can you be able to understand what happened in Italy in the month of August? The narration of television talk shows speaks of betrayals, gives voice to those who had climbed or were about to climb, elbowing each other, on the chariot of the (presumed) winner, sifting through the registry office and the qualifications of some ministers. Take it the case of Teresa Bellanova, new minister of agricultural and food resources, who combines the handicap of being a true Apulian with that of only having the title of eighth grade diploma.
No one remembers that Teresa attended that high school of work and life called CGIL ed it has risen to the national secretariat of an important category. A preparation, hers, which allowed her to be - after an active presence of the Labor Commission in the Chamber - an excellent deputy minister of Development and to manage complicated disputes in that position where the future of thousands of families was at stake. But let us go back to re-weaving the thread of the discourse, taking as reference the beginning and the end of what happened in the August of “Saints Crispino and Crispiniano''. The Chambers close for holidays after having given the Captain, with a vote of confidence, a shameful bis security decree which makes him the ''sole and last decision maker'' of the life of the refugees (who dare to embark on the boat of an NGO) and they inflexible persecutor.
In addition, with a trip from Prime Minister Conte to the M5S, it also passes a pro Tav resolution. No wonder, after the vote of 26 May, the pentastellati are little dogs on the leash of the Conducator of the League, who from the summer headquarters of the Viminale, created in a bathroom in Milano Marittima, pontificates against Europe (which has marginalized him) and promises, whatever the cost, a 50 billion maneuver, as if he didn't know that Conte and Tria, when they obtained the withdrawal of the infringement procedure, had agreed on a collaborative path with the new Commission in view of the 2020 Budget law.
Then in one of his rounds around the Italian tourist resorts (does the Court of Auditors have nothing to say about these transfers with the means and at the expense of the State?) Salvini decides to blow up the table, asks (but does not open it by having the his ministers, the only ones who remain attached to their seats until the end) the government crisis and early elections to obtain ''full powers'' from Italian citizens, counting on a certain victory as the polls promise him. We stop here, photographing the situation that the Italians could have expected if that project had gone through (the writer sees in it the real risk of a Peronist regime, to say the least). Then, as we know, human stupidity prompted by arrogance ends up doing damage to themselves (Mao said that reactionaries are foolish enough to lift large stones with difficulty to have them rolled on their feet); so for the Captain – victim of ego overheating due to too much exposure to the sun – everything went wrong.
When political activity resumed, in the open battle between sovereignists and pro-Europeans, Italy changed sides: it was the bastion of vulgar and forced national populism, in just a few weeks it has become a state that intends to tackle and resolve problems according to the rules and in agreement with the Union (which is no longer considered an evil adversary, but a "pillar" on which national policy is based ). And to reinforce this change of line, the relationship with the Commission is armored by bigwigs like Paolo Gentiloni in Brussels and Roberto Gualtieri at the MEF. In the new perspective, policies will also change. The ''autopilot'' will return to work.
