“The pension is not due”

While the rating agencies reward Italy, the former minister of employment returns to make terrorism pontificating on the financial: “You will punish young people,” she says that she built exodus. And his friend Monti reveals that the ECB is also maneuvered by politics

The time of oracles. He returns every year, with the harvests and the first Brumes, while the government begins to prepare the budget law. Then in unbalanced editors on the delusions of the Flotilla, on the new revelations of Garlasco and on the magic of Luka Modric There is always a director who in the meeting asks: “Who could we interview on the maneuver?”. And there is always a chief editor (usually the most rampant or the most obtuse) that throws there, as if this were fragrant and original: «We could ask for a comment to Elsa Fornero or Mario Monti». Since the reaction of the others – imaginary Flebo on the arm – is not worth as a deterrent, they are called the oracles: there are two columns of banality to be filled, starting at first.

Newspapers and TVs have been automatically for 14 years, that is, since the festivalbar pair of the economy tried to destroy what remained of a country massacred by the spread and in the middle of tsunami from the crisis of sovereign debts. He did not succeed. But since then, for their part, it is a continuous remodeling reality, boasting pseudo-strategic operations, standing with Salvatori della Patria. Of the series: “The failure gave me to the head” (Ennio Flaiano). Yet we remind us well, he with Loden and hat in his hand in front of Frau Angela Merkelwith Hermès’ handkerchief to cleanse tears after the carnage on pensions. Since they always have stands from which to boast, between Sunday and yesterday the Mountains thought and the Fornero Way of Life They reappeared respectively on Corriere della Sera and Stampa, from where they threaten to accompany us to the Christmas thresholds.

While the rating agencies reward Italy and the government’s economic policy focuses on the relaunch of the middle class, here Fornero He sees gray and launches a torpedo entitled: “Budget law, the usual market that in the end punishes young people”. The former minister of Labor, engaged natural life while justifying his bloody reform, claims that it would be wrong to propose “measures that propose for the umpteenth time the false illusion of the advance of retirement to make place for young people or the false myth of the acquired right”. To close: “Show us, government and opposition, that long and inclusive look that for a long time has been missing from Italian politics”.

Flying on the inclusive gaze (since his included the underpasses of the stations as homes for the 170,000 exodus handmade exodus), it makes especially that the former Turin university professor continues to define an acquired right, practically a grace of the sovereign who throws Dobloni from the window to the Villani, what according to the Constitution is one of the most inscribable social pacts in a democracy; A contract between the state and citizens, who claim their respect and application when they mature registry and contributory requirements of the law.

In an attempt to claim his nebulosis merits to dirty the comforting current numbers of the Italian economy, Fornero He manages to concretize two paradoxes: he defines Regalia a legal prerogative, even more after the contribution system in full. And it transforms a constitutional duty (that of the provision of the pension to the workers) into a accounting principle, cheerfully exchanging the state for a spa. It is the same error that is often made on healthcare when evoking the budget balance, erroneously considering that it must be an investment for profit and not an indispensable service to be performed even at a loss. Obviously Fornero He knows all this perfectly. But to find a hurry in which to put on some hectic of instrumental criticism pretends to forget it.

Mario Monti It starts from farthest, to get to kick in the shines at the executive takes the run on the Pyrenees and talks about France. He tries in daring parallels to theorize in summary: if in 2011 he had been head of the government of Paris with the task of saving the public finances, today the winning numbers would have them Emmanuel Macron And Giorgia Meloni It would be in trouble. A full -blown self -lengthy without contradictory, in which the usual complacency as a man of Providence stand out but also an interesting revelation.

“In 2012 Italy acted quickly on the reduction of the deficit but for several months he could not catch his fruits in the form of lower interest rates because Germany maintained a close grip on the ECB”. To induce the chancellor Merkel to yield, concludes the former premier in the editorial of Courier«It was the fact that the French president François Hollande He sided with Italy. By acting together, the two countries removed the German cap that braked the ECB. And the crisis was overcome ».

Then the central banks bend to the interests of governments. AND Mountainswhich by the same columns performed with indignation Donald Trump For pressure on the Fed, now he denounces “the cap” of the Merkel and plays at that blitz of Hollande. But how strange. Consistency is not a dowry of toilet oracles.
