Carnivals and concrete realities

Of course, it is good for the Patriarchate to hold the country up to the Frecciarossa station with Minister Lollobrigida on board, and it is also good – as La Repubblica tried to do yesterday – to blame the Minister of Culture for the blunders committed by his predecessor Franceschini. Steps are also being taken to create heightened expectations of the report’s revelations about Senator Gaspari (possibly faked by machines as always).

I mean: all these carnivals that the opposition passed off as Italy’s big problems are beautiful, beautiful because by wandering around like butterflies they don’t have time to seriously obstruct the government in matters that really matter. So much so that Giorgia Meloni announced yesterday, working silently for several months, that she had brought home from Europe 21 billion euros immediately available for real economic growth. Landini, the leader of the CGIL, now wants to declare general strikes, I can see Carlo Bonomi, the president of Confindustria, continuing to go from conference to conference (his favorite pastime for years) to openly wear down the government’s “corporate insensitivity” and, more generally, the left insisting on emphasizing that The economic recipe for the majority is bankrupt and lifeless.

The truth is that everyone busy discussing “patriarchy and its environs” and “Hamas is terrible but so is Israel” did not realize that the government was about to bring a mountain of money to our companies like never before, following an economic maneuver. It has already put real money into the pockets of less fortunate families and workers. It took more than a year to rewrite the Pnrr, which, as written by Prime Minister Conte and rearranged by Draghi but only slightly, was an unachievable dream book that would never have passed the test of Europe. Then it took more than a hundred meetings to convince the technicians in Brussels of the validity and feasibility of each individual item, and yesterday here was the now unexpected green light: twenty new billion added to the winds of maneuver and allowing Italy to breathe and see. To the future with more optimism. Long live this majority, but above all long live this political and media opposition.
