“That flag of the Calabria region on a transatlantic”

Gregorio Buccolieri

“We will consign this photo to history. Calabria celebrates the approval of differentiated autonomy in the Chamber by waving its flag at the hands of its deputies. An image that plastically depicts the subjugation of a certain Calabrian and southern ruling class to the plenipotentiaries of their parties who indulged the appetites of the northern political class”.

He writes it in a note Gregorio Buccolieri, City Councilor of Catanzaro

“Even the President of the Calabria Region, Occhiuto, cries bitter tears, but perhaps it would be more correct to say crocodile, branding the approval of the Calderoli bill as an error of the centre-right.

We had repeatedly publicly urged and prodded him to intervene on the subject not only because of his administrative role but on the assumption that he is national deputy secretary of one of the main centre-right parties. No way.

As a public administrator, and as a socialist, I will continue the battle in all settings, institutional and otherwise, so that the definitive collapse of the quality of life in the southern regions of the country can be avoided. However, allow me a bitter consideration. Never before has the meaning contained in the Turkish proverb appeared as appropriate as in this case: “e the trees voted again for the axe, because the ax was clever and had convinced them that it was one of them, because it had a wooden handle.”
