We’ll vote soon…
political hyena.
The poor “dorotei” of Fratelli d’Italia are engaged in a ferocious and fratricidal fight against Salvo Pogliese and his men: if it goes well for him (the former mayor of Catania and “his” Massimiliano Giammusso) he will relaunch himself, otherwise he is already ready a place on the curve at the “Massimino”. Naturally with the ultras to support Catania. In the name of love.
Ruggero Razza, however, was forcibly brought into the party, having not had votes since the Punic wars. But the Brothers of Italy chose him, as happened in the feudal courts, in the times of chivalry. And everyone has to vote for it. In the name of meritocracy and “self-made people”, alien to state welfare, to solutions such as social cards.
When he speaks he almost makes you feel that Ciriaco De Mita’s DC never died. But all Fratelli d’Italia is a DC, as poor as its “ruling class”, but always Christian Democrats at heart. It is no coincidence that the newcomer has the face of Gaetano Galvagno, who is more Christian Democrat than his uncle Mimmo.
Brothers of Italy is the party that in Catania, for example, proposes – in a Christian Democratic way – with the Trantino council electoral contests a few days before the vote. Trantino seems like a Christian Democrat of the First Republic who every now and then puts his face to the most indefensible operations and does so naturally, arousing (but does he notice?) the hilarity of many.
In the midst of the “shields” and the “crusaders”, Luca Sammartino’s League cannot be missing, the Sicilian version of social media populism of a ridiculous character like Matteo Salvini. This year, the “purchase campaign” includes Raffaele Stancanelli’s “life choice”, in short from Almirante to Sammartino. A much more coherent political line than it might seem at first glance: from defender of order against the young people of the new right (Rome, University, 1968) to continue in the role of “DC tank” in an anti-communist version (with the MSI “great mum” also for the “rascals” of subversive neo-fascism) and finally with the new Christian Democratic Power in the “healthcare holding” version. Raffaele Stancanelli perhaps doesn’t know it, but he was consistent this time too. Always with the Power. As happens to those women who -involuntarily- always choose the most coherent solution, which involuntarily is the most convenient. Things that happen. Then there are the populists who are with social issues, in the name of Citizenship Income: a Christian Democratic solution, too.
At the center, they always remain, Lombardo, Cuffaro and similar (Renzians, repentant Renzians, post-Renzians, Calendians and other humanity). Lombardo says he is focusing on Caterina Chinnici, standard bearer of Forza Italia. Her life choices. Against the current, from Sammartino to Lombardo, passing through the Democratic Party. See above.
Forza Italia is indicated – by the Christian Democrats – as a winning list, Marco Falcone has been in an “explosive phase” for some time. Let him believe in this photo novel with the great future that is Sicilian politics.
On the left, the Democratic Party is the other “wing” of the new DC: a block of power that goes from the ANM to the Italian para-mafia corporations, ending with a significant part of the public sector. Don’t look for workers among them, who will then laugh in your face. An “anti-fascist laugh” but always a laugh. In Sicily their secretary is rightly a DC like Anthony Barbagallo. And it will also be on June 10th.
This time too they are making the militants believe that a “fascist regime” is coming and they are voting for them. In some time, perhaps, when they “awaken” they will start to get angry again, when they don’t find castor oil against them, also because perhaps they will no longer find even the money to buy the oil. Confirming that the ideological block is stronger than the foundations of reasoning.
On the left, the list of the Italian Left and Greens alliance remains, with the candidacy of Ilaria Salis, a “Western candidacy” based on the demand for human and citizen rights, against state abuses. Many who vote for it will not even notice it, also because for many of them, for example, living under the political and judicial model of the Russian Federation would not be a problem. After all, as Leonardo Sciascia said, for many Italians – right, center or left – it is not a problem to live under fascism.
Then, there are those who never vote. Those who understood.
