BOLOGNA – Good morning Doctor Buonofiglio. I would like to take advantage of your kind hospitality to do a couple of observations on this election that are finally over.
Let me start by saying that for years I have been fulfilling my right and duty as a citizen by going to vote, but in the ballot box I put my white ballot, untouched, without even a tiny mark. So from the height of my, so to speak, neutrality, I can give an opinion on how we Corigliano people who live elsewhere experienced this event.
First, let’s start from the end:
I greatly appreciated the gesture of the candidate Straface who, recognizing the result, wished the mayor good work. It is a gesture of civility and respect, not so much for the person, but for the institutions.
The same thing cannot be said for the election campaignwhich it is carried out in the name of insult, even personal insults also flew like leaves in the wind. Sometimes, the frenzy of offending did not clarify the context in which it occurred.
Maybe who was in siteknowing some unwritten element, could find his way around, but to us who live outside they seemed gratuitous and useless insults.
Maybe that I have a more secular, very pragmatic political conception of civil confrontation, on how the country is intended to be governed. Unfortunately for several years, this comparison has no longer been used, only the “fans” remained on the pitchwho, as is obvious, never recognize their own wrong, but it is always someone else’s fault.
Have you ever talked about football with any fan?
The logic is that the “penalty” is always there if it is for, if it is against it is never there.
Those who use shouted epithets do so because they have no political arguments to compare, they shout out their political ignorance and demonstrate that they don’t care about the country, but want to use the political office only for personal ends, for sinister business interests.
The reporting of corruption and any other malfeasance is legitimate and must be done, but it must always be done, not only when the opponent is in check. Only in this way can we have a civil confrontation.
This trend is also widespread at a national level, we have all heard Salis called a “criminal” because she was accused of brawling in Hungary, with a trial still to be done, in spite of the guarantees, while she is defined as “a good boy” and “a good family man”. ” the spokesperson of the minister who stabbed a Greek gentleman, I think he was wrong to be a fan of a team opposed to the spokesperson.
Does this way of reasoning seem logical to you?
Corigliano-Rossano’s problems are many and we have carried many of them with us for decades:
master plan, agriculture, tourism, work, hospitals, social services.
I have not read a single line on these topics, but only letters full of insultstexts in defense of “washerwomen” and angry positions taken without rhyme or reason.
Speaking of “laundresses”, a few years ago, in the Emilia Romagna Region a lady imposed by Salvini was a candidate, and one of his allies from Forza Italia said that:
“Salvini cannot think of doing like Caligula, who imposes his horse as senator, he must listen to us too”.
The lady was offended because they called her a horse.
Evidently she hadn’t even read the elementary school textbook to understand that she hadn’t been called a horse, but worse, that is, a person not suited to the role she wanted to fill.
I think that even the comparison with the “laundresses” of Corigliano should not be taken literally, they were splendid people, tireless workers, very good at whitening sheets and blankets, but not suited to managing a political responsibility.
I never believed the slogan “one is worth one”certainly true on a social level but certainly not on skills.
My hope is that we return to a bed of reasonableness, education and respect for roles, seriously discussing the things to be done for the social and civil well-being of the country.
Good job to all those elected, whether they belong to those who won or those who will be in opposition.
I am not against sensible, conscious and even over the top political controversy, but it must always have a purpose:
a civilized country.
Best regards, Mario Esposito
