And it's okay that only Our Lord managed to subvert the strict rules of mathematics when he fed five thousand men with just "five loaves and two fish", but if the "blanket is really too short", to the point of leaving uncovered when the head or when feet, then the only thing to do should remain, without a doubt, that of committing the scarce resources available, aiming them at dealing with the primary needs of the population, which translate into the petty terms of energy consumption, skyrocketing, the basket of retail prices consumption of basic necessities, which are also rapidly growing, of the rationalized and generous provision of a "welfare", as a set of initiatives, goods and services useful for satisfying the conditions of well-being of the generality of the associates.

None of this would seem to find satisfaction (and probably forced play) in the finance company fired by Giorgia Meloni's executive, consequently causing the rapid decline of the enthusiasm aroused by the presence of a Prime Minister finally a woman at the helm of a country that everything seems to need but which, systematically, ends up finding itself at the starting line with almost a "nothing done".

Miracles could only be performed by Our Lord, and certainly our national "Giorgia", no matter how much commitment she may make, cannot and will not be able to do much more: propaganda aside, both on the right and on the left, because it really is not this is the moment, and because when you end up on the benches of the opposition everyone seems to have the solutions in their pocket, forgetting that when they were comfortable sitting on the benches of the government majority they had managed to do nothing more. And therefore. Now as then, at the time of the Conte government, was it really urgent to intervene on the roof of the use of cash which could well have remained fixed at two thousand euros, allowing Italian families a more fluid use of money? Now as then was it so important to cut the necessary expenses to support the Public Health we need so much? Today it is really necessary to negatively arouse the common sense of precariousness and financial (in)stability of millions of Italians by undermining the near future disbursement of the Citizenship Income which, despite everything, in the highly critical recent times of the pandemic and the reconnection Has economic hardship still allowed so many families to resist the "pangs" of hunger and desperation?

Let's be clear, however, to avoid misunderstandings: it is always wrong to place in strict correlation the measures useful for finding a job with a measure directly aimed at contrasting the poverty of those subjects that can be defined in the specific terms of "non-employability", however, it is equally true that “ad impossibilia nemo tenetur” (in Italy, faced with a very high “demand”, the “supply” of work is highly lacking) and the State certainly cannot turn away by pretending not to notice the problem. We are a country of poor people: at least this would seem to be the "status quo". Who should provide to "even out" the so-called qualitative and quantitative "deficit" with respect to the conditions of the luckiest citizens of the European partners? Respect for the principle of equality, valid and operating both at national and European level, would presuppose that dissimilar situations are treated in a targeted and appropriate manner aimed at achieving conditions of substantial and formal equalization with respect to the more fortunate European Members. Where this is not a usefully achievable result in the short and/or medium term, is it still correct to impose the same rigid economic conditions on the disadvantaged countries as the Union? It is clear that, even disregarding the responsibilities of the various governments that have succeeded each other at the helm of the country, Italy, compared to Europe, would seem to suffer a sort of "discriminatory treatment" due to the different speeds of development and achievable wealth, if achievable.

It's not about wanting to feel sorry for ourselves, but simply about wanting to take note of a difficult condition that needs to be remedied. The decisions taken by the Meloni government are sometimes of a prudential and Dragonian nature, when of a propaganda nature, but with Europe breathing down my neck I would challenge anyone to do better. It must certainly not be easy to juggle between the need to govern correctly and flawlessly and to maintain the consensus pursued. Of two each. And certainly the second, at present, appears to be the only expendable requirement.

Most people don't like the Maneuver, nor could it be otherwise, and probably the little money available could have been better committed. Between "external constraints" and rigid "European rules", which cannot be violated in any way, Italy runs the risk of going to the bottom. So nothing new under the sun: right or left in government, little or nothing matters, the music doesn't change because only and only Europe commands. If it is true, as it is true, that we will need more "deficits" because we face a forced arrest of growth, however, the risk is that of benefiting not so much the humblest social classes, but that of favoring the wealthiest classes (we are talking about incomes exceeding 65,000.00 euros to understand each other) which would also benefit from unjustified favorable tax measures with respect to the claimed economic conditions. It is a matter of doing the servant's accounts without the need to resort to the opinion of great economists.

In short, at the end of the day, with the exception of the renewal of the tax relief for high energy costs, on which more and better could have been done in any case, everything else would not seem to be of much use except to cause social unease in the medium-long term. If there was still time to make an about-face, perhaps it would be appropriate to provide with a certain promptness without wasting further useful time. The watchwords are few and clear: "no" to the privatization of the Health Service which is and must remain national and universal, "yes" to a "welfare" based on reasonableness, "yes" to support poverty, "yes" to the proportional tax relief even as a temporary emergency measure only.

Politics is a topic for the brave, and courage, if you don't have it, certainly can't be bought at the market in the morning: it's a pure and simple matter of survival and "Giorgia" should strip herself of any ideological or party legacy and think of the country , to that country made up of people who get up every morning, live and work, when they are lucky enough to be able to do so, trying and hoping to make ends meet. "I am Giorgia, I am a woman, I am a mother, I am Italian, I am a Christian": these are the words spoken by the leader of the Brothers of Italy in Rome, in Piazza San Giovanni during a centre-right demonstration. What if we wanted to believe it, and rely on it? The polls wanted to reward her, will the contingent reality do it too?
