Elections and referendums 2020: no winners, only rescued competitors and others overwhelmed

In the game of the four cantons of the Elections of September 20 and 21 there are no winners; only competitors were saved and others were not.

They are certainly driven from the desired goal the two Mateo: ambitious young men who bet everything on the most acrobatic unscrupulousness.

About the Salvini Matteo, a first fact that stands out is its lack of electoral progress in the South, of which the reduction by half of the League’s vote in Puglia it is the most obvious litmus test; That is the lack of indispensable condition for the ambitious project of “National League”, as an Italian mockery of the sovereignties / supremacisms promoted by the most bifurcated and reactionary European political groups: from Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement Nationale to the obscurantisms of the post-Soviet Visegrad pact. Against the obvious claim of Luca zaia in Veneto, which proposes the alternative of a soft Bossian League; where devolution dissolves into a more reassuring autonomy, but always spatially circumscribed to the eastern side of Padania.

The other Matteo did no better – Renzi – with his incomprehensible (and certainly clumsy in effect) strategy of destabilizing the national government by causing damage in the territory; that is, jeopardize the result of the Pd lists with pure presence disturbance. An operation with a clear self-destructive meaning, which in the end would seem only “A fun mystery”. In light of the laughable results, around 2%, many Ivan Scalfarotto like Aristide Fausto Massardo; both sappers appointed to damage the center-left in Puglia and the center-left plus Cinquestelle alliance in Liguria. What client Renzi hoped to achieve with this kind of antics (the pastel-based gag in front of a silent movie theater) remains unclear, as Italy Long Live He should not be in the least interested in a fall of the government as a prelude to his own cancellation; It only remains to register the auto-firing of the scrapyard, which was left without a canton.

Meanwhile, the two processes of national policy are kept Nicola Zingaretti me Giorgia Meloni, who now seems to be wandering in search of a balance point whatever the party of opinion maker by press and / or talk show. Those who had opened the terrorist bombing against a few months ago the anti-parliamentary blasphemy of the Yes to the referendum. And now they are totally out of step with the public opinion of which they presumed to be the makers.

I ululanti philosophy there Massimo cacciari, the political scientists face to face of Nobody Urbinati, annoyed sociologists and a little gné gné Luca ricolfi, Roberto Saviano enrolled in the martyrology; The tour company, charged with pointing the right way to the inclined and vulgar, who was pleased to explain that the scissors of the number of parliamentarians was a monstrous attack on the sacredness of the Houses, on the venerable principle of representation, on the foundations of democracy. To what the popular vote has done marvel, demonstrating – thus – that he understood perfectly that the defense of a few seats in Parliament as a last resort responded exclusively to the instincts of solidarity of the establishment; of a good neighborhood in the privileged neighborhood.

A healthy lesson to inform theAnnalisa Cuzzocrea, journalist from The Republic, who on Monday, in the usual Enrico Mentana marathon, came out with the now unbearable diatribe against “populism”; according to him registered in the referendum yes. This is to point to the brave exponent of the “GEDI party” (the newspaper conglomerate headed by the Agnelli-Elkan families) that the game of demonizing as “populist” indignation for the anti-popular policies, wanted by the privileged classes camouflaged between the blankets of the current post-democracy, it works less and less. Enough to risk a future ladies and gentlemen of having to wander for a long time, looking for a corner to blend in.
