The opposition does not know which side to stay on: with the country or with an EU that is unable to defend us the government takes note that each state of the continent has different interests. And move on your own
At the beginning the left accused Giorgia Meloni of flattening himself on the positions of Donald Trump, weakening the negotiating capacity of the EU on the duties front. Elly Schlein wanted the Prime Minister to be for the hard line and responded without hesitation to the provocations of the Tycoon. Then, given that the Commissioner of the Union for commercial relations has failed to bring home anything, neither with the good nor with the bad ones, from the PD they are entrusted to the Premier that he has not been done to induce the American president to review his position towards the EU. In fact, that things are going well, that is, an agreement is reached, or that they go badly, for companions Meloni has always done the wrong thing.
In reality, the situation was clear from the beginning: Trump wants to rebalance his commercial balance, devaluing the dollar a little to encourage American exports, and to achieve the goal he is ready for anything. To bland and threaten allies and opponents. Although many have described it as a madman (but most paint him as a drunk split), in those who seem crazy behaviors there is a strategy. It may like or not liked his way of doing: I personally don’t like me, also because unfortunately the Italian economy also pays the account. However, at the moment it is he who has the knife on the side of the handle and the shooting of those who, like Macroninsists on a muscle reaction, inviting to respond to duties with other duties, only risk hurting us.
I was struck in recent days the interview that Jamie Dimonperhaps the most influential banker in the world, has released a Isabella Bufacchi of Sole 24 hours. In practice, the great chief of JP Morgan says that Trump He played the “Wake Up Call”, the alarm clock, for Europe. If the EU does not react, it does not organize itself, does not face its problems and does not complete the path it started 75 years ago, it risks weakening and compromising its future. For Dimonthe American president should not be judged for the words he says, but for what he does. Above all, the CEO of the largest American business bank claims that “each European country must be prepared to compromise for the common good”, in which he obviously sees the good of the whole West. Of course, it is a very different vision from that of the French president. But also from that of the secretary of the Democratic Party, which oscillates according to the days between the desire to declare war on the United States and accusation a Melons not to strongly support the reaction of Europe against the USA.
The reality is that summarized by Franco Bernabè In an interview with Press. The EU has almost nothing to field if the comparison with America is based on force. “What can Europe do? Stop the imports of Harley Davidson or peanut butter? ». What we wrote since April 2, the day when Trump He announced the duties, is now also confirmed by one of the most international managers we have. If you want to go to the commercial war, “the EU can immediately raise the white flag and give in the whole front. Whatever does it cause damage to itself too. Do we stop the imports of liquid gas from the United States after deciding to block all those from Russia? If you take the discharged gun, you can’t even try a bluff … ».
The facts are evident: after months of attempts to sprout an agreement with the US, the EU does not know what to do, because not only has no weapons to negotiate on par with America, but does not even have a unit of intent, as the interests of the countries that are part of it are divergent. It would be necessary to take note that Germany must defend their industries, France his and Spain as well, as well as Italy. The idea of a common front does not work, also because, if there is no united front when it comes to war and armaments, it is difficult for one to exist only when it comes to commercial relationships. Italy would do well to do it alone, because perhaps it has arguments to sprout better results, but those who have no arguments are the left, which does not know which side to be on, if with the country or with an EU that is unable to defend us. As you can see, contradictions and, above all, ideological positions always emerge.
