The time for pragmatic sovereignism, but harm reduction is not a strategy

As predicted, 2024 will be a year of big changesbetween US presidential elections, European elections and geopolitics between Eastern Europe, the Middle East, not forgetting the Pacific, in constant turmoil.

The various players with their positionings are in full activity in the main continents: the recent public release of Mario Draghi it is but the latest in a series of messages, strategic elaborations, actions, among the various currents of thought that run through the West at large existential labor.

If Draghi proposes, however questionable, clear and transparent trajectories for, fundamentally, more Europeon the other hand the actors of the antagonistic currents of thought appear on the threshold of a fordhighly undecided about what to do.

On the other side of the ocean, the screaming period of post-election conspiracy theories, of all things, is over QAnon and recounts, with the pragmatism of a businessman the candidate Donald Trump has defined a clear electoral message, also developing in recent years a solid administrative network between governors and elected representatives in the various republican-led states and beyond. The Trumpian network today is transversal in the world of businessthe media and more generally in American society.

While in Europe, divided between national needs and the response to Russian aggression, the so-called conservative and sovereignist forces are heading towards the next European elections with a common analysis of the Union’s problems but without a real and univocal action strategy.

In fact, if on the one hand many political movements have shelved the possibility of a radical reform of the Union, today it seems that the objective is only to have the minimal damage possible on the various dossiers, from climate and industry, to health and economic freedoms. They seem stuck in a correct analysis of the distortions and limits of European policies but without a real strategy to achieve concrete results and reverse a trend of decline that grips our continent.

There is no real plan “execution”even the electorate seems tired of a simple, albeit fair, criticism of the current European system, especially since the so-called sovereignist forces, except in rare cases, they are not the majority in almost no continental nation.

Again looking across the ocean can be very useful, it should also be understood that drawing up plans post-sovereign less ideological but more pragmaticand perhaps truly incisive, require a great mobilization not only of consensus but also of the ruling classes.

The challenge of a Europe in an identity crisis can be overcome not only by claiming solid principles but also responding to the spirit of the times with great willpower and also cunning, cunning and ingenuity.
