“Fantozziana Europe”. Here’s how the left download the von der leyen

From Bonaccini to Calenda, the rain of judgments on the von der Leyen. Instead it would need a little self -criticism

On the Corriere della Sera, Massimo Gramellini An unprecedented perfidy shows off: «I don’t know a single European right, left, above or below that feels it represented by Ursula von der leyen», He writes. “Without bothering Bismarck And Cavour (and then De Gasperi, Schumann, Adenauer) we are still the continent that in the last half century has expressed Kohl, Mitterrandthe same Merkel. Statists, but even before people with a certain sense of self and history. Not to mention Dragonswho was able to proudly stand up against American speculators in defense of the euro. Now we have gone from Whatever it Takes to how she is human. ” According to the illustrious signature, we are reduced to a Fantozzian condition, and Ursula is assimilable to the countess Pia Serbelloni Mazzanti from the sea (the one that in the films repeatedly tried to launch a ship and caused atrocious disasters, not before having asked every time: “Capovaro, Varo?”).

The comparison is certainly fitting as well as fun. The problem is that Gramellini Or you are wrong or mind. Because he someone who feels like represented by Ursula von der leyen He has to know him by force. Someone inside the Democratic Party, for example. Because it will also be true that everyone now distances themselves, everyone amazes and complaining forcefully, but the fact is that the dear Ursula wanted, voted, and re -entered. And now they should hold it and keep silent or pull their wand on your hands alone.

And instead today, after the outcome of the negotiations on the duties with Donald Trumpit seems that the entire progressive Italian political world – that is, the one that brought the Ursula lacquered and pampered – understood its inherent. Stefano BonacciniMEP and President of the Democratic Party, declares that Von der leyen “He accepted the Trumpian narrative according to which the European Union is indebted to the USA for the commercial surplus on goods”. Splendid. Too bad it was the party of which Bonaccini It is president who has supported Ursula on the first lap, to have reconfirmed it to the second and to have voted for her confidence a few weeks ago. It is true that some dem exponents have pulled back, but the majority was in favor of the German. Now they find that it is not up to it or is sold to Trump?
