– Macron take the floor and explain why he dissolved the National Assembly by calling the polls. Or at least how he justifies his gamble: “The European vote sent a clear signal that could not be ignored.” I want to have this speech heard again by all those who, every time a technical government was formed in Italy, explained to us that it was done because the return to the ballot box was “dangerous” for the stability of the country. The truth is that in a democracy the people are always right.
– Second note: the French system, semi-presidential with direct election of the head of state, in practice something reviled by those who oppose presidentialism and prime ministership today, guarantees France to overcome such a profound governmental crisis without allowing the powers one millimeter and the representation of who – in this case Macron – was voted by electors for the Elysée. Emmanuel is right not to resign and he is right to ask voters to choose their prime minister based on the updated political situation. All without power gaps. Perfect.
– Hard to say if Father Saliswhen he made the comparison between Thatcher and the Dwarf Mammolo, he was referring Giorgia Meloni. In all probability yes, but apparently the activist’s father has more intelligence than Saviano and Luciano Canfora, and is able to refer to someone without naming him to avoid an obvious complaint. However, we are sure that if Roberto Vannacci had used a physical defect of Elly Schlein to define her (her nose? Her hair?), he would have drawn the criticism of the best Italian intellectuals. Instead, father Salis slips onto the violet dwarf and all is quiet. I wonder why. At least he apologizes.
– Interesting interview with Anthony Tajani, which here excluded any agreement with the ID group of which Marine Le Pen is a member. Today, the position of the leader of Forza Italia is a little more nuanced: “Even if Le Pen is different from Afd, the EPP has a profoundly different vision than that of her party on Europe and the relationship with NATO”. However, he then adds, “we will see how their positions will develop”. Which means a lot in politics.
– Macron invites the democratic political forces of France to “unite” to reform that “cordon sanitaire” that has always worked against the Lepenists since Chirac. But this time it’s probably different. The left has weakened and some Gaullists are ready to recognize Jordan Bardella as the new face of the Rassemblement National, a national movement, perhaps nationalist, but which no longer has anything to do with the old National Front. This will be a historic election.
– Do you know what argument Emmanuel Macron mentioned in his speech to revive the fortunes of his government? The fight against illegal immigration. Welcome to the club.
– It appears that the M5S consider changing its name and symbol by inserting the word “progressive” to give a clear political connotation. It was a short step from the attack on the “sea taxis” to Elly Schlein’s crutch. Also. In fact, the votes are missing.
– On Hunter Biden, two quick words. First: the sins of fathers do not fall on their children, nor vice versa. Second: 25 years in prison for lying about drug use for owning a gun seems a bit excessive.
– We waited a day to understand if the words of Sinwar, the Hamas leader calling the Palestinian civilian deaths “necessary sacrifices” would have sparked the logical indignation of our commentators. Instead, nothing. Nothing. She went into the cavalry.
– If the Palestinian martyrs are “necessary sacrifices” because their blood pours “lifeblood into the veins” of Palestine, we wonder why the good Sinwar does not sacrifice himself for the cause instead of hiding underground. We are sure that his blood would also draw in excellent life blood.
– On the case Falcomata in Reggio Calabria the same applies as for John Toti: all innocent. Just read the ignoble insipit of Marco Work: “The Reggio Prosecutor’s Office discovered that in the 2020 regional elections and the 2021 municipal elections the ‘Ndrangheta brought votes to Fdi&Pd”. Untrue. The prosecutors “hypothesize it”, they don’t “discover” a damn thing. All this remains to be proven.
– Rightfully so finished he was dismayed by the strange circumstance that “from the Toti case to Bari, scandals no longer generate consensus”. This is not surprising, since most of the maximum trials, driven by the newspapers without a critical spirit, often end up in a hole in the water.
– How nice full page ads are Republic And The pressure dedicated to Silvio Berlusconi and bought by the Cav’s children: “Dear father, your love will always live in us”. And Rep, rightfully so, after reviling him for two decades, must bow to the logic of base money. Pecunia non olet. Magical.
– Small game: “Born in Milan on June 17, 1984 and raised in Monza, except for a three-year period from 1992 to 1995 in which the family lived in the United Kingdom. She attended the Liceo Classico “B. Zucchi” in 2002 with top marks. From childhood she has always practiced sports and, passionate about theater, followed various courses and performed in Monza. From high school he started his political activities in social centers, first in Monza and then in Milan, fighting for respect for rights and social equality. She graduated with honors in Historical Sciences from the State University of Milan in December 2005. Sensitive to the problems of disadvantaged people, he attended the Professional Educator course at the “Don Gnocchi” Institute in Milan and successfully completed all the courses. She worked for several years as an educator in centers for troubled adolescents. In 2018 he decided to complete the studies necessary for teaching literary subjects in high schools and in April 2021 he obtained a Master’s Degree in Philology, Literature and Ancient History at the University of Milan. In the meantime, she has been working for several years as a primary school teacher in schools with multi-ethnic users and since 2021 as a substitute literature teacher in high schools, awaiting a competition”. Who are we talking about?
– In France they do more than Bertoldo. The story is sensational: Eric Ciotti yesterday he announced the agreement between the Republicans and Le Pen. Someone grumbles within the party, as the Republican Front usually acts as a barrier to the extreme right, but no one would have expected that, after Macron’s call not to deny De Gaulle, the political office of the party would go so far than suspending the president by reneging on the agreement. Instead, it happened.
And now we have a leader who is convinced that he still is, two substitutes who claim to be interim and the party is divided between those who want the deal with Le Pen and those who do not. It will be fun.
– The fight in the Chamber, with fights and blows like not even in the stadium, is objectively an unworthy spectacle.
