WORLD WORLDWIDE ITALY News Journal Update - (en) Italy, UCADI #170: Made to last (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 The government strategy designed by Meloni is aimed at lasting. Immediate results

are not important because they reveal long-term goals . Therefore the division of
roles remains between that of the Government and the prime minister, projected
towards foreign policy to strengthen the role and leadership of the European
conservatives in view of the 2024 European elections, and the role of his party
and the jumble of unlikely and obscure characters who are part of it, dedicated
to the management of the fascistisation plan of society through the declination
of the key themes of the antisocial right, ranging from the restructuring of
social and productive relationships, to the ethical objective of redesigning the
Italian language, even in language, as demonstrated by the grotesque, but only
apparently ridiculous, bill on the prohibition of the use of foreign languages in
the public administration which follows the provisions regarding the beloved
twenty years. Certainly this desire for restoration is great in the party that
won the elections, to the point of tracing and re-proposing the measures adopted
at the time in favor of demographic growth for which we can expect the
reintroduction of the tax on celibacy which frankly lacks.
Nor does the return to the past stop here because it runs through all the fields
of civil coexistence and, what is more serious, it also operates with respect to
labor legislation. In fact, the government extends the period of precariousness
to 36 months, allowing companies that adopt these methods of employment not to
have to justify the reasons that push them towards this choice, an obligation
that could have been of some effectiveness in circumscribing and limiting the
phenomenon. The new man we want to build retraces old paths, proposing the image
of a country where life prospects are occasional and precarious, where blackmail
in the world of work is daily and the need for employment is constant and forces
people to enfeoff with this or that potentate.
To reassert its grip on society, the government has also recently divided up the
appointments of the managers of state-owned companies, but the measures adopted
in this regard are functional to the basic strategy of the right: absorb the
technocrats, consolidate and perpetuate power.

For a servile and corporate enfeoffed society

The right wing in government operates through a two-pronged strategy: on the one
hand, it incorporates into its management staff bureaucrats and managers cloaked
in a reputation for professionalism and efficiency, good men and women for all
seasons, so as to mitigate the sensation of regime which would have emerged by
claiming for himself and his associates the various government and economic
management posts of state-owned companies, on the other hand it shows that, after
all, the right-wing management of the country is not so terrible for the ruling
classes , but rather. This modus operandiit allows the right to take root in
society and establish hegemony, which is so important, even if the complaints of
the majority party are confined to the lack of hegemony in the field of
information and culture; but you know, as a character who later became one of its
exponents used to say, culture doesn't eat, an obviously silly statement, but
nonetheless in the short term they enjoy generous salaries.
All this takes place while the government points out that inflation is falling,
failing to say that it is a manipulation, because in reality that relating to the
expenditure of essential goods is growing, proof of which is that the inflation
figure is adjusted for the costs of energy, the upward trend in inflation appears
evident, as reported by authoritative sources both in the European Union and by
the banks. If one looks at the Def one realizes that for next year the government
preaches wage moderation, i.e. it intends to ensure that current wages, which are
the lowest among all European countries, do not increase, proposing for Italian
workers hunger and misery, taking care to blame it on the competition on the
labor market exercised by the workforce made up of clandestinely emigrated
workers to Italy.
This game relating to the continuous and reiterated identification of an enemy to
hate should act as an effective deterrent to make scorched earth of the social
opposition, also trusting on the silence and political incapacity of the
oppositions, increasingly divided between the various parties increasingly
immobile on the union board.

The political and trade union opposition

The government has an easy life not so much because of the electoral result, but
because of the fact that it faces divided oppositions unable to carry out their
task. While the self-styled "third chicken" occupies the chronicles perhaps
thinking of entertaining the listener with the ridiculous contrasts between the
two roosters who claim to dominate the chicken coop and who, in pursuing this
purpose, peck at each other with no holds barred, drawing a frankly disgusting
scenario, the other opposition parties have, in turn, uncertain and undecided
political lines along which to articulate their response to the Government.
On the one hand, the 5-star Movement has seen its role of capturing the
electorate of the left reduced due to the appearance on the scene of the new
secretary of the Democratic Party and therefore is lost in the uncertain search
for warhorses and watchwords on which articulate your position. On the other
hand, the PD, redesigned in the image of its secretary, has not yet succeeded or
perhaps has not had the opportunity to be tested on its concrete ability to
organize the opposition. The left and the greens are more an electoral aggregate
than an opposition party and therefore are episodically present in social
struggles, sometimes with uncertain profiles. especially as regards the
environmentalist team.
We should primarily clarify the fact that the endless prairies in the center
hypothesized as the place where the armies of roosters in the chicken coop should
have deployed to find something to scratch are completely non-existent and
inconsistent. From this it follows that the exponents of this political weakness
would do well, frankly, to get out of my balls. Another point to be clarified is
that with these premises the opposition in Parliament is almost non-existent and
in any case certainly ineffective. The law of numbers says it, because no matter
how many noises and shouts deputies and senators may make in parliamentary halls,
they will never obtain a majority, also because of the hypothesis of detaching a
dying woman.
Forza Italia, by the majority it is completely hypothetical, inconsistent also
because it is an enigma who will be able to feast on the remains of this personal
political formation, once the laws of biology and nature have freed us from the
omnipresent Silvio.

A new round of struggles

If all of this is true, the opposition forces should understand that the real
terrain in which the opposition to the government takes place and develops is the
squares, the struggle movements; it is with the consent of the populations,
citizens and non-citizens, of all those who suffer from growing social unease and
who need to be organized and oriented towards achievable and achievable
objectives, is the only way to do it.
But mobilizing the masses does not seem, at least at the moment, within the reach
of the two leaders of the two major parties of the opposition line-up, because
both its leaders and the political leaders at every level of the two parties must
demonstrate their ability to mobilize and call the masses to struggle and social
conflict, numbed as they are by their constant chatter within the parliamentary
halls.
Neither the trade union organizations Cisl and Uil can be called upon to help the
parties due to their endemic propensity for concertation, nor the CGIL, immobile
to the point that it seems to play the role of Sleeping Beauty in the woods. And
yet, union leaders should understand more than anyone else what is happening
around them and realize that a mobilization of the masses is taking place in
Europe that has no equal compared to recent times and decide to pose the question
of wages, the problems taxation and health, as well as the social status.
Just look at what is happening in France with the struggle over pensions and in
support of the welfare state, at the union struggles over wages which have been
going on for a year now in England, where doctors have come to ask for increases
of 35%, forcefully placing the wage question, in Portugal where the grip of
inflation becomes strong to the point of leading to a general strike attended as
never before, in Germany where wage struggles have regained strength with demands
for sharp wage increases the likes of which have not been seen for some time,
supported by determined and hard strikes.
It is not clear what else is needed to awaken the masses of workers in Italy from
lethargy and lead them to personally assume the burden of demanding higher wages,
better living conditions, better services, given that, as indeed the strong
abstentionism demonstrates , their trust in institutions decreases more and more
and that, therefore, it is only direct action, struggle and social confrontation
that can produce that change in the balance of power between bosses.
Government and workers that can enable them to effectively defend their rights
and interests. Waiting for the electoral confrontation at the distant and
uncertain moment would be unacceptable suicide and risks leaving large masses of
workers in poverty and misery along the way.
Perhaps the Government has given them a hand by effectively abolishing the basic
income but it is the poorest and weakest who are affected and these days social
solidarity has few followers and therefore a reaction is not to be expected. The
growing corporate transformation implemented by the government through the reform
of taxation and the support of the interests of categories and groups divides the
class and puts the wind in the sails of the right.
