Fausto Carioti
anyone notices the Democratic Party: the government has launched a maneuver by EUR 24 billion, announced by the same right arm of the premier full of action as a "tough sacrifices." But the main opposition party, there is no trace today the entire political discourse is born and is consumed within the center. Pier Luigi Bersani and his, if it really exist and are not put there by the Knight set to cheer the scene, still do not know if they have to take to the streets with the CGIL, Guglielmo Epifani, or simply do a little 'casino but in the end, without giving too much to see, to accept the invitation of Giorgio Napolitano to' share 'the maneuver sense of responsibility. Likely that this time choose the third way, sharing and confirming their political irrelevance.
With yesterday's move, then, Silvio Berlusconi has taken the Democratic Party one of the few titles of which could still bear, more for tradition than for actual merit: that of being the "party discipline", the assembly of custodians of ' orthodoxy of European rules. A title that now belongs to the increasingly tremontizzato People of Freedom. The genetic mutation of the Minister of Economy has now come to an end: the speck unable to make ends meet that Corrado Guzzanti mocked on television with his "povca bitch," the little man of creative financing and cutting taxes is easy to become , for better or for worse, the prosecutor's austere economic policy and tax Vincenzo Visco (yes, him) and Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa (not in the latter case, interviewed by the fact, last week he had words of honey to Tremonti, crowned as his successor).
Because now the center is indignant, but the truth is that many of the interventions contained in the operation launched last night by the Council would not disfigured at all in any of the financial or the Olive prodiana Union. For example, the tracking of payments to professionals and cutting the salaries of ministers and junior ministers. With the difference that the center yesterday, has launched measures, such as the rapid rise in the retirement age of civil servants to 65 years and the drastic cut to the advice of the government, that the center, anxious to maintain their clientele, not would never have signed. It hardly Romano Prodi and Massimo D'Alema would have had the courage to close the tap of public funding to the Historical Museum of the Liberation, the Meeting for Friendship among Peoples and foundations headed to Alcide De Gasperi, or the same Craxi.
course, the center had the bad habit of putting his hands in the pockets of others. What that Berlusconi's government, once again, did not. But the result does not change much: the movement has given new responsibilities to the regions and local authorities, with the result that soon many of these will need to introduce new heavy taxes or increase existing ones (and here, thanks to maneuver, will have well as the excuse for it).
The result is that, eventually, everything lives in Berlusconi and his government. The line of strict European, indeed, now beautifully incarnata da Tremonti. «Ma anche», come diceva Maurizio Crozza imitando Walter Veltroni (Berlusconi gli ha scippato pure questo), l’impegno a tagliare le tasse e rilanciare consumi e investimenti appena la congiuntura lo renderà possibile, e comunque entro la fine della legislatura, che è la promessa su cui il Cavaliere basa la sua esistenza politica. Il fondo da 200 milioni annui per finanziare Roma capitale, che poi è quello che chiedeva il sindaco ex aennino Gianni Alemanno. Ma anche il pedaggio sul Raccordo anulare, nuove tasse di soggiorno per i turisti a Roma, l’aumento delle bollette elettriche sulle rive del Tevere e il blocco dei salari dei ministeriali: tutte misure sgradite agli abitanti della città, ritenute però necessary to rebalance the accounts of the Capitol and make them independent of the "gifts" in the North. There is a building amnesty, but next to this include new tax rules on book, which encourage municipalities to track down evaders. At the end of the tour nor the league can say to be escaped unscathed, although the blade cuts through the provinces of the maneuver under 220 thousand inhabitants.
So the maneuver "tears and blood" does not leave much to the left and the Democratic Party to hold on, beyond a general appeal to the discontent that follows a normal operation so hard. Indeed, the opposition in an argument less than the penalty on behalf of the European stability, you can flaunt. A topic that is Berlusconi's monopoly and show that many voters even to appreciate, although the survey Crespi Institute whereby the majority of Italians would have liked even more drastic cuts. So, in times of international crisis, can the fear.
