When two Eurofighter Typhoons, the fourth generation supersonic fighters of the Italian Air Force, appeared in the portholes of the Algerian presidential plane, eight thousand meters above the ground of the Bel Paese, the African state pilot had already warned the authorities to border: Italy honors the President of Algeria Abdelmadjid Tebboune with the deployment of its interceptor fighters. Stuff from American honors to the most powerful of presidents, despite the fact that on that Algerian "air force" there was the successor of Abdelaziz Bouteflika, the President of the most powerful state in Africa who just four years ago signed a decree with which he "mugged" to Sardinia a large part of the international waters off its coasts. A real "coup" in the open sea sanctioned by a presidential decree which, under international law, has allowed Algeria to impose an "Exclusive Economic Zone" up to two hundred miles from the African shore of the Mediterranean. In practice, from the beaches of Annaba, with an extension of 370 kilometers, the international waters have become Algerian waters. Along Sardinia, at a distance of twelve miles, from the Pan di Zucchero to the mouth of the Temo in Bosa, on the border with the limit of territorial waters, in fact, there is no longer the sea of "everyone", but the one in which Algerian, state, military and above all energy sovereignty is in force. In times of bloody wars to conquer a strip of land in the Russian-Ukrainian Donbass, the "theft" of the Sardinian sea is a gesture to be "honored" with the roar of fighters in the air and the stamping of the hooves of horses on the ground. The state visit by Algerian number one, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, is much more than a courtesy mission.
Hunting & hooves
In the silence of state codes there are subliminal messages, business and submissions to make you shiver. The meeting of the Algerian President with the Head of State Mattarella and Premier Draghi is an unprecedented parade. Flying fighters weren't enough. Italy, that stolen from the sea, prone and obsequious towards the new benefactor of gas and electric cables, has chosen to punctuate the advance of the President of Algiers, towards the highest hill in Rome, with the rhythmic step of the ordinance of dozens of cuirassiers on horseback, as if a new sultan of the Mediterranean had to be honored. Among the golden frescoes and the sumptuous rooms of the Quirinale, the first act of a State robbery takes place on which the Sherpas of Eni, the true "grand commis" of the Republic, have imposed absolute silence. Woe to talk about the "Exclusive Economic Zone", the one that the Algerians set up a stone's throw from the Sardinian coast on March 18, 2018, stuff that if they had done so in any other part of the world a war would have been unleashed, not only of stamped papers . In the country of energy "toys", on the other hand, the dominus of oil and gas, that six-legged dog that has always been the deus ex machina of Italy in Algeria, has decided that one must "obey in silence", giving to Algeria, without any sadness and state dignity, a sovereignty of the seas of Sardinia. What was staged in Rome, first in the Palazzo dei Papi, transformed into the residence of the Head of State and, then, in Palazzo Chigi, was a real silent abdication and complicit in that operation that no one can talk about. Indeed, it is the head of the Quirinale who represents the relations between the two states as if that Italian letter of November 2018 sent to the UN to contest the embezzlement of the Sardinian sea on the Algerian borders had been canceled with a breath of wind and a draft of gas. Mattarella goes far beyond the state homage to his counterpart in Algeria: "The fact that President Tebboune came to Italy so few months later - says Mattarella solemnly - is the sign of a solid friendship between Algeria and Italy and of this extraordinarily important strategic partnership that exists between our countries, with bilateral relations that are particularly strong, are constantly developing and have very ancient roots ». One wonders what the "strong" bilateral relations could be if Algeria, unilaterally, without mentioning it to anyone, four years ago decreed an "Exclusive Zone" at sea where to exercise everything and more, blowing, or better by snatching from Italy and Sardinia, a stretch of sea so conspicuous as to make the Azov sea shiver. If the admirals, the seamen, those who know international law and understand, without needing to attend the Diplomacy Academy, ask this, that without the adoption of an act equal and contrary to that Algerian decree, it means that the Italy has decided to abdicate, or to surrender its weapons and deliver sea, fish, oil and sovereignty in front of its home, to the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria. A state, the Italian one, bent to the point that the Presidents of the Council and of the Republic, for a year, have carefully avoided giving course to a clear parliamentary indication which, albeit belatedly, has asked with a law to establish a similar "Zone Economic Exclusive "on those waters" snatched "from Algeria. In fact, the law which became law last June requires the Prime Minister to propose to the Head of State a decree for the establishment and delimitation of the sea area under Italian jurisdiction.
