The subculture of begging

Democratic Party, Italia Viva and LeU, target the government and especially the President of the Council on a daily basis. Giuseppe Conte, accused of not being effective enough, is urged to accept the ESM money immediately. The Dutch Prime Minister and the German Chancellor are pushing for the ESM to be concretized. Here it is the syndrome of the old begging disease which haunts us.

Merkel would like us to accept the ESM. This would move the recovery fund decision away over time, beyond the end of German six-month presidency. Therefore, this historical decision would be leave to others the quite possible breakdown of the European Union. The Prime Minister Conte and the 5 Star Movement would not to give up the ESM, if it were without conditions. However, all in due course, after the negotiation of the Recovery Fund will be concluded.

I would like to stress, hic et nunc, the irresponsibility, at all levels, of the ruling class which has led Italy into a blind tunnel. There is no exit, but to keep on repeating the old Guicciardini’s saying: ‘either France or Spain as long as we can eat!’
