Dear Matteo, I confess that I had to reread your interview several times. And trust me, it wasn’t that simple, especially for my liver already tested by decades of Italian politics. I read and reread your words, trying to resist dizziness, rashes, labyrinthitis.
But I must be honest, at one point in particular I have not been able to give myself an answer: but why exactly do you need to apologize? Giuseppe Conte? “I’m sorry”, otherwise “there are numbers for an alternative majority.” Wow, Matteo. In normal times, reading the latest “renzata” in the newspapers, I would have laughed too. This time, however, I can’t.
Dear Senator: I have not yet understood whether or not you like to be called a Senator, Senate you wanted to abolish it, you see, down here in the normal country, we’re not having such a good time. We have lost loved ones, friends, earnings, distractions, prospects, optimism. I don’t know if up there, in the country of wadding, they give you the long sighs that are made in these parts when no one appears in your place.
I do not know if the tormented dreams of those who try to drive away fear come, the short breaths of those who try to hide the terror that seizes them when they look ahead and see only a thick fog. I don’t know if you’ve ever found yourself with your head in your hands wondering what lies beyond the fog. But here in these parts, it’s been going on like this for months. It’s hard.
It’s not like in war, let’s not kid ourselves. But it is still difficult to hide fear behind a mask, to flaunt security even when legs tremble at the thought of seeing a loved one suffer. Still, you should know: not long ago, you were even talking to the dead!
Dear Matteo, in the world down here, when you read in the newspaper that “if Conte does not apologize”, Matteo renzi He could take it the wrong way and overthrow the government, it just makes you very angry. That rage that, brick by brick, builds an insurmountable wall between citizens and institutions. But then, Matteo, what should Conte apologize for?
For letting us get 209 billion of a Europe that has always looked at us with suspicion for decades? Having worked day and night to try to get us out of this nightmare? What should he apologize for, for having given up a comfortable life to carry 60 million people who are never satisfied on his shoulders? You should apologize for the nights you spent organizing, mediating, count the dead and try to understand how to avoid sinking this country already in a precarious balance in the abyss?
Or maybe he should apologize for the mess you left him? For the “no” dry to the possibility of reorganization, for the renunciation of the methods of the “old politics”? Dear Matteo, explain us. Down here we find it difficult to understand, really.
I don’t know if Conte will apologize for returning a minimum of credibility to this ramshackle country. I, if I could, would apologize for you too. And, since we are at it, I apologize for everyone: President, I am sorry, an Italy like this does not deserve decent people to lead it.
