If there is one thing that more than 2 billion Christians in the world do all together in unison, it is to celebrate Christmas. Even slightly more distracted and less practicing Catholics go to Holy Mass on the night or day of the birth of Jesus Christ.
A third of humanity does, all together that day. The only one in the world who has not noticed it is the Italian Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte. Perhaps because he is a Buddhist, yesterday he explained in a video that “Christmas is spirituality”, and so far we are. But “it does not suit many.” Are two billion few? Didn’t you like the last Christmas mass you attended? Conte does not explain it, but affirms that “Christmas is not only giving gifts, very good to boost the economy, but also spiritual recollection, and doing it with many people is not very good.
We see that Rocco Casalino must have told him how beautiful loneliness was in the confessional of the First Big Brother and the premier must have thought that this model was the best to live the celebration in the year of masks and spaces. So the nonsense escaped him, which happens more and more frequently as if it were a degenerative disease. It must have meant that it is better not to have too crowded dinners, but the new line of government is to let the governors of the Regions prevent those celebrations because one of their dpcm on the subject would be very unpopular, and with the rising curve that he is rushing (soon if he reaches the end of the classification with Vito Crimi), he tries to avoid any more stumbles. The patch was worse than the hole, but it has a presumption inside it that would be grave if Conte’s political experience did not turn into an unstoppable decline: that of the ethical state, whose leaders not only severely restrict the freedoms of citizens, but they feel anointed by the Lord, ready to give moral lessons to the people.
It is a bad habit that the premier – but not only he in the majority – has of pointing fingers to stigmatize the behavior of others from the top of his pedestal and indiscriminately unload on the people even the grave sins of the ruling class that Conte is in command. . This government has a huge responsibility for the tragedy we are experiencing this year, but it never assumes it. He always blames it on people for hiding their mistakes. He sent naked doctors and nurses to the front lines in the first phase of the epidemic because he did not have a pandemic plan and had not stocked up on personal protective equipment as necessary. Those on the front who lost their lives owe it above all to this. I tremble at the thought that this is about to happen again as health workers shout weakly in Rome that they see those precious supplies run out. He made the exact same mistake again, waiting with his hands in his hands for the second phase of the pandemic that we are seeing. He invented new ICU jobs that don’t exist, he didn’t make the necessary contracts, he didn’t insure the hospital system. And for the second time Italians die for this reason. We would have to kneel and ask forgiveness before God, genuflect before the Italians asking for forgiveness. Not at all, Conte and his beautiful, shabby little figurines never manage to ask him like the Fonzie from Happy Days who was twisting his tongue at the time. They are not capable of an act of humility and patience. But it is unbearable that they choose the exact opposite. They are the ones who have opened roads to the virus, but they accuse the Italians of that. A people of unconscious movement, that irresponsibly goes to eat pizza or have a beer in the summer afternoons, that walks through the center of its city, even breathes and hangs out after you open the cage in which you had closed them for months. It’s their fault, they deserve the virus. And they spread it to the elderly, making them die.
It seems a world upside down: yesterday Lazio’s health advisor was also pointing a finger at patients with coronavirus: we must release the pressure on the hospitals in the region. It is up to him to prepare the system for the second wave, now it is up to him to release that pressure. Instead of doing it, he takes it out on the sick. The same yesterday from Palazzo Chigi to the new contagious of the virus: those restaurateurs who obviously had not had enough blows. An article translated into Italian by the New York Times, citing a study on restaurants in the Big Apple and infections in the months of March and April, was sent to all editors. Apart from the fact that the study was very brief and there were very few numbers, at that time in the United States restaurants swarmed, as in the past, with customers without distances and without protections, and strictly indoors given the temperatures. The subtle intention is to accuse the Italian restaurateurs of the second wave, who instead have nothing to do with them: until they closed them the customers ate only outdoors, came with their beautiful mask and sat with limited tables. distanced from others. It is shameful even to hypothesize this non-existent responsibility for the resurgence of the virus, when the figures we published the other day undoubtedly indicate that the triggering event for the second wave was the reopening of schools that occurred in absolute insecurity (for the concentration in closed in a small space of millions of children loaded like sardines in buses and subways).
Instead of acknowledging their mistakes and letting stubborn ministers who have told fairy tales sit at the door, they try to make those who have none feel guilty. Now even the nonsense of Christmas. If Conte likes to celebrate in a solo yoga session to meditate, go ahead. Despite him, we remain a free country. We will celebrate it along with the other two billion Christians on earth. He also tries to stop us.
