Not happy to have collapsed with the energy transition, entire production sectors starting from that of the car, Ursula von der Leyen wants to take the money of the families.
For the occasion, a very glamorous definition invented were invented: “Financial restyling”. I didn’t know my savings needed a restyling. If anything, I believed that there was the need to secure them from the banking crashes and also from the predatory ideas of certain governments which, as happened in the past with Giuliano Amato and with Romano Prodi, are always ready to assault the diligence of taxpayers. But the word borrowed from fashion, which can literally be understood as the renewal of the look, behind the pleasant and modern sound hides a precise design: to use the current accounts and the financial investments of the Italians to use them at will the European Union.
Not happy to have collapsed with the energy transition of entire production sectors, Starting with that of the car (the news is recent that Audi will fire 7,500 employees), Ursula von der Leyen and his gang of officials wants to take the money of families. It goes without saying that those who have reason to worry are Italian, because unlike Germans and French, but also of Spaniards and Swedes, we are expected and accustomed to putting aside the money for the future. While others indebted, we save. And in fact, liquidity on current accounts has always throat to our European partners, in particular to nearby Germany, but also to Parisian finance. Every now and then, pressure from Brussels arrive so that the government puts their hands in their pockets to citizens, taking advantage of that treasure set aside for the future. For the eyes controllers of the European accounts, the public debt could be reduced by drawing on the resources firm on current accounts or taxing investments in government bonds of Italians.
But if until yesterday the EU mantra aimed to use resources to reduce financial exposure of the state, Now that suddenly the debt is no longer a taboo, as Germany has retired years of religious adoration of the Maastricht parameters, we have gone to consider private savings as a treasure available to the EU to support the rearm plan of Europe. First you had to break the piggy bank for families to equalize the state accounts, now you have to break the Italian security box to rebalance the arsenals. In one and the other case, the same are always screwed, that is, we, because we Italians have more resources to plunder.
The empty-tasque plan, Ursula von der leyen baptized it with a pompous name: “Union of savings and investments”. Since citizens have deposited about ten thousand billions in European banks, 70 percent of which would be stopped, that is, not invested, the EU would like to withdraw it to “finance the most urgent interventions in the new geopolitical context”. In practice, the money to re -enter Europe, as proposed by the President of the Commission, would thus find themselves, skipping them with savers. A blow of hand that would allow you to gather those 700-800 billion of which Ursula spoke in its famous speech.
But where would all this money end? Well, largely they would serve to support the conversion of the German automotive industry, which from the crisis of the four wheels could come out by producing tanks, missiles and planes for the countries of the Union. In this way, the GDP of the Old Continent would also relaunch, said former Prime Minister Mario Draghi as a special consultant for Ursula von der Leyen. It is true, but it is done with the money of private individuals, who in a democracy usually have the right to be able to choose where and how to invest their money.
While talking so much of fascism and regimes, contrasting that of Vladimir Putin to the western model, We forget that at the time of Mussolini it was required to donate gold to the homeland. Family jewels, including wedding rings, were donated to support the empire. The Duce had already exhausted the Parliament and was preparing to launch the racial laws: his was a full dictatorship. But “gold to the homeland” at least was voluntary. Here, however, we are to the views of a forced withdrawal in the name of democracy and security. I don’t know if you remember: three years ago we were faced with an alternative: do you want freedom or air conditioning? After some time we can say that we want peace and possibly also air conditioning. But even our money.
