Matteo Salvini “dictator”? The League names its worst enemy – Libero Quotidiano – director

Ideological lesson

Considering the context of our average laundress policy, there is something blissfully unnatural, there is an overnight glimmer of ideologies in the Lega Nord board decision Ferrara to name general director of the Municipal Theater of Ferrara Moni Ovadia.

Ovadia, born in 46, a Milanese Sephardic Jew, writer, director, singer and brilliant man of the stage, is considered a red icon of culture. Very red. Ovadia, to understand is the one who ran for the Regional 2010 with the Left Federation of Agnoletto; the one who supported the disastrous Ingroia Civil Revolution and was elected in Europe for the Tsipras List (when Tsipras was a communist) in 2014, collecting more than 33 thousand preferences, although later he gave way to the first of the non-elected; the one who left there Jewish community from Milan because he was too pro-Israel and because the community itself had been too soft on a joke about the Shoah uttered by Silvio Berlusconi. Ovadia has always led the cultured and slightly snobbish patrol of a Lombard left that in the 1960s would have silently crouched in Leo Bernstein’s living room in New York to discuss civil rights. He always proudly led that patrol against the center right; in particular against the League considered “fertile ground for fascism”, and against Salvini one “that shoots shit”. Sometimes Ovadia was wrong, other times she was right, but that’s not the point. Now, if the ideological cage, the hermetic criterion of subdivision, the fierce corporeal spirit typical of all parties (especially of the left) had been applied, Ovadia could never have set foot in the culture of Ferrara dominated by the mayor. Alan Fabbri and by the councilor Marco Gulinelli, Salvinians to the core. Instead, his appointment now shifts to the right and defuses any controversy from the left.

Thus the Municipal institution dedicated to Claudio AbbadoAt the proposal of the theater board through President Mario Resca and with the unconditional support of the League, he appoints the Jewish leftist Ovadia as director. Unanimous appointment. Of a good one, trivially. I would recommend checking out Moni’s best known show, made up of klezmer music and Jewish motets, Oylem Goymel – The world is stupid in Yiddish- to get an idea of ​​the stage intelligence of the man. So his choice is interpreted as a genius of marketing and common sense, which goes beyond preconceptions and prejudices; And that reminded me, at that moment, of the Marxist Jean Paul Sarte and the Gaullist Raymond Aron united against the Vietnam War; and Umberto Eco and Marcello Dell’Utri in the incessant frequentation of bibliophiles; and Silvio Berlusconi when he faced the “enemy” Michele Santoro (although there the epilogue was not the best). Behind all this strategy of “competition beyond ideology” is Vittorio SgarbI am irregular par excellence and president of the foundation. Ferrara Art who suggested the best option for the city: “On the thirtieth anniversary of the death of Tadeusz Kantor, he asked Moni Ovadia (whose book Hitler’s Rabbit and the Demagogue’s Cylinder was, among other things, published in 2016 by La Nave di Teseo, by Vittorio’s sister, Elisabetta Sgarbi, ed), after the exhibition dedicated to the great playwright at Palazzo Doebbing di Sutri, to celebrate in Ferrara with shows and exhibitions, as part of a festival of Jewish and Yiddish theater ” Says Sgarbi. And an official note adds: “The choice of Ovadia will allow a wonderful theater to return to the center of European civilization, also in its relations with the Jewish world, in Ferrara documented by Meis, the National Museum of Italian Judaism and the Shoah, whose The foundation was proposed by Sgarbi himself, when he was undersecretary for cultural heritage. ”It must be borne in mind that Ferrara, the city of Bassani, is also the Italian origin of the Shoah. And Ovadia, therefore, is the cheese of macaroni .

Ovadia has repented of the vulgar and racist League and has expressed his “will to bring Ferrara to the world and the world to Ferrara.” And we are all happier. We would be more so if these criteria for choosing professionals were always applied. Of course, it is necessary to recognize that, on this side of the barricade, candidates for the aforementioned tasks can be counted on the fingers of one hand (even less: they come to mind Pietrangelo Buttafuoco, Marcello veneziani, Nazzareno Carusi). But if we really thought in terms of public service, it should no longer surprise us that the Northern League supports a dangerous Bolshevik …
