Polillo case, silence is golden but the undersecretary doesn't know it

The undersecretary is once again at the center of the scuffles and it's now a coincidence but he doesn't realize it and, in a hilarious interview in Corriere della Sera, he claims that "professors don't understand each other, but I am clear" – "Because if some things Fornero tells you, it's okay and if I say them, it's bad?”

Polillo case, silence is golden but the undersecretary doesn't know it

Every time he speaks he does damage but he doesn't realize it. And she insists. The Undersecretary for the Economy Gianfranco Polillo, a former official of the Chamber first close to the PCI and then to the PSI and finally to Berlusconi with many regards to the impartiality of the role, he risks becoming a caricature.

In recent days it has ended up in the eye of the storm for the case of exodus. On TV, where he loves to perform (“Yes, I like going there – he declared to Corriere della Sera – because when I go out I meet people who say to me: thanks to you, finally, we understand”), he maintained that the problem of exodus 'and that solved because, if the rules change, for workers who have decided to retire early, the agreements with companies are no longer valid and therefore they can return to work even if they had resigned before.

La Fornero he immediately froze it: "If Polillo has a recipe for exodata, he'll take care of it personally". Previously, Polillo had sparked controversy with his statements on the free current accounts for pensioners and on the contingency reserve fund. And Monti's lashes were not long in coming. He now he says. "I swear I didn't even know Monti, it was Cicchitto who sent him my curriculum vitae" which paved the way for him to be appointed undersecretary.

But the interview with Corriere della Sera add more pearls. For example: “Monti, a highly appreciable fact for an authoritative prime minister like him, is rigid, learned, never a trifle demagogic. Instead, I translate, I vulgarize. Yes, look, I say it without false modesty: someone like me, sometimes, really serves". Maybe it's true, but first we need someone to explain to Polillo that sometimes silence is golden. Especially for one, a little vain and very wavering, like him.
