Puglia risks taking a leap into the past that it does not deserve. May the best win!

The Apulia It risks taking a leap into the past that it does not deserve It is the Region that more than others has dared to claim the defense ofambient as a fundamental value. We all remember that Don Quixote from Michele Emiliano against drills at sea driven by the wind to fight against everything and everyone knowing that they have no chance (the quorum of the national referendum facing a few regions involved). However, it was the “good fight” that had to be fought against the wind because it was the right thing to do.

The facts then showed that he was right and the authorizations to multinationals they took refuge in the air. Also there Tap who had to foresee the definitive energy development of the country and Europe today sleeps underground in Baku waiting for something that seems difficult to materialize without Juncker. Because today Europe looks long band instead of the ghost gas from the lake that should have cut the Italians’ bills as Salvini and Renzi said.

Apulia has worked hard in this terrible pandemic period and now everyone recognizes that it is one of the most interesting regions in Europe for its enthusiasm, dynamism and above all beauty. A beauty to be cultivated with patience of poets instead of the rush of marketing. And this patience has been exercised by Emiliano since Petruzzelli reopened as mayor and I defined him in a Basel newspaper in Switzerland as “the wardrobe of the four seasons of Apulia.”

Patience, especially in strong fighters, is the essential virtue, because impetuosity sometimes offers the side of the opponent’s trickery. If you are strong, you don’t have to show it. Who at all costs shows his strength by showing off certainties You end up using it only on the weak and often weak on the strong because it is more convenient. When you go against the multinationals of the world that want to nail their rotten nails in Puglia, you know very well that the fight is difficult and that in the end only the strength of the people can win.

This is why Puglia will take risks, but in the end the persons, who in recent years has been able to observe his sea, his land, his children, perhaps living in the most beautiful region in the world. Walking between dry stone walls, jeweled with prickly pears with ripe fruit, watching the noisy magpies that land attentively in the trees and then flee with sound machine guns, counting the indifferent waves that land on enchanted cliffs, the people of Apulia will know how to decide for the better and I am convinced that the cry of an excellent captain will triumph.

May the best win, may Puglia win!
