Letter to the Prime Minister / The lack of response that disappoints the Romans

Dear president ConteNine days have passed since Il Messaggero wrote to ask you to exercise your duty of defense of Rome as the capital of Italy and the patriotic obligation to take all possible measures to strengthen its role. Here, President, after all these days of our clear position, which we believe reflects the needs and demands of the Romans and Italians to have a capital worthy of the name, has not yet given an answer. Is it because there is some impediment that prevents you from taking an ambitious initiative? Is there anything that makes you ashamed to take sides with the city, driven to disaster by a municipal council, that of Mayor Raggi, inert and burdened by a manifest political and managerial incapacity? Doesn’t it seem profitable to you to answer the newspaper in Rome and take over the question of the Capital, as it should be natural for a prime minister?

Here no one prays to anyone, as is obvious in a secular society, and we consider subordination, even with respect to an important figure such as a head of government, a reprehensible attitude and the son of a culture that does not belong to us. But we take the liberty of telling you that it shouldn’t belong to her either. We would not like your lack of answers about the future of Rome, which is now, to depend on some political veto that has been imposed on you and that, precisely because of subordination, you do not dare to break. He would not do his honor if blocking her in her eventual activism, in the love for Rome that she surely feels because this is where she had it all, were the respect for the line of 5 stars who fear the darkening of the Rays. What they see in all the initiatives for Rome, and Beppe Grillo made it clear in the bombing the other day here in Rome, where he met everyone, including himself, a threat to the mayor’s nonexistent splendor. Those who consider any impulse in favor of the capital and against its hitherto unstoppable decline a kind of treason sin in Virginia. Not only is she not Marie Antoinette but she does not even have the croissants to throw at the people, who also – as will be seen in the municipal vote of 2021 – would not pick them up.

The very concept of subordination is always unheard of and is most inconceivable when it comes to Rome. Which does not admit, as its history since ancient times shows, any type of subjection that could affect it. With Rome we move from one power to another, yielding to tactical convenience, to professional or party interests, to covert logic on a small scale is not acceptable. If you don’t have the courage, you must give it. Otherwise, we will remain, let’s be frank, President, the Italy of Don Abbondio. Which, however, not surprisingly, did not have Rome as its capital.
