as big as it is fragile, now in Puglia you can lose everything – Libero Quotidiano

It is not true that the new politicians “are all the same” (not even the old ones) also because some are not new at all: however, certain types stand out for their archetypal diversity. In Italian: do you want to put Michele Emiliano in front of a Susanna Ceccardi? But both are candidates for governor in the regionals.

Ours is a random comparison, and here we are interested in talking about Michele Emiliano, not Ceccardi: who, if we were to deal with that one day, in any case, however, is certainly not a clever / cunning / paracula and broken with all the experiences like Emiliano, but neither is it a pushed emptiness that emerged from the primordial broth like any grillino grillino. Emiliano is an interesting case, and it is precisely because he embodies various grafts of different characters and experiences as a kind of Frankestein – well said, also because Frankestein was thinner – but at the same time he has his own personality and also strong, he is not an environmental by-product .

He did it himself: let others determine if it is a merit or an aggravating circumstance. Emiliano is “a big one” because he has his own political weight (to be established) and has the insight and cynicism of the former magistrate (who is not a former magistrate: he is still a magistrate, then let’s see) and he is intelligent but like those that Intelligence has not yet He has decided how to use it, direct it, towards what objective to invest it. And in this it remains fragile. Ours is an impression, at least: to dismiss him as someone who seeks power simply where he finds it would seem disrespectful.

JUDGE
As a magistrate he does not have a despicable past, but few remember him: in 1988 he was with Rosario Livatino in Agrigento and he was 28 years old, he was one of the “minor judges” whom Francesco Cossiga mocks. Emiliano “a boy” is hardly imaginable, but then he played basketball quite seriously (he reached Serie B) although today he seems more like a rugby player. Then he returned to his Brindisi and throughout the 90s he dedicated himself to the fight against the Sacra Corona Unita, which still existed (today is a residue) and specialized in cigarette smuggling: Emiliano was tough, a bit like today . , and said “you have to put smugglers in jail and keep them for many years, like the mafia.” Then he became an anti-mafia prosecutor in Bari and many of them succeeded him.

Let’s fly, and remember only one bagatella that a Bari told us, this one: one day Emiliano said in the courtroom “I will do an expert opinion” (an authentication, an appraisal) and the accused understood “I will do a striptease”. Imagine Emiliano with those clothes, or naked. Vabbeh, enough, let’s toughen up: in 2003 he agreed to be mayor of the center-left and began his parable. He also began his stay in the party without being in the party, the antinomy between wanting to be a loose dog and being part of an apparatus like the former PCI. It will always be this way, so much so that to be elected (even for the presidency of Puglia) you will always find your own lists, even if Emiliano is not, for example, a “strong man” like Vincenzo De Luca who has infinite lists and lists that support him: Despite everything, Emiliano is not very “rooted in the territory” (an expression that is enough, it can no longer be heard: it seems like a botanical thing) and each time his search for alliances turns out to be a variable adventure.

Surely he has always had a tendency to want one thing without giving up another: for years he never wanted to resign from the magistracy, remaining on leave of absence (to collect a pension, among other things) until 2018, when the Constitutional Court ruled that the magistrates did not they could have party cards like Emiliano had them. So what did he do? Did you leave the judiciary? No, he announced that he would not renew his membership in the Democratic Party while he remained in the area. In the past, he had accepted the candidacy for the Region only on the condition that the obligation of resignation imposed on mayors, such as himself, be repealed. So, however, we also get bored of writing. We should talk about the other pieces of Frankestein who, from an institutional man, becomes a populist and a politician “close to the people” (he has been defined precisely as an “institutional populist”, I bet oxymoron) and here too: you decide if he is a man resourceful or one who doesn’t know which resource to choose, and then makes a mess.

THE SHERIFF
On the one hand, a mayor sheriff was left who seems almost center-right: in terms of legality and security, a poll by Sole 24 Ore placed him in third place among the most beloved mayors along with De Luca (Salerno) and Flavio Tosi (Verona ). During a broadcast with Matteo Salvini, he went so far as to say that the Northern League was right in accusing the center-left of being soft on the occupants of public housing. Emiliano knows how to swing like those swing puppets that you put on the dashboard of your car: in forty-eight hours he went from “I supported Renzi, sorry” to the definitive “Matteo, don’t apply again” to “Re-nominate, you can win again as secretary “. It was the only division of that period, 2017: that of Michele and Emiliano.

Then, continuing, it is convenient to list the most colorful aspects of Emiliano-Zelig, the one who enjoys being a bit of an idiot like everyone else, from time to time: when in Acquaformosa (Cosenza) he began to dance the pizzica and broke his Achilles tendon; when he chatted with Frank Underwood (the protagonist of the television series House of cards) asking him for a worthy candidate as an opponent; when that well-known genius rapper J-Ax wrote “Emiliano’s speech is rocker, great” and Emiliano replied, “Beautiful uncle! You’re great! “. Yes. Everyone. Emiliano, to make one forget a scandalous scandal about the famous hairy mussels (too bad, there is no space to talk about it), the Department of Culture proposed to the director of Checco Zalone, who refused. But So the director, Gennaro Nunziante, made a film with Zalone called “Quo Vado?” Here, in fact, the answer is expected. By Michele Emiliano.
