WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE ITALY News Journal Update - (en) Italy, UCADI #173: The three (dis)thanks (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 After centuries of male dominance, we currently enjoy the presence of 22

female leaders among heads of state and government, to which should be
added Cristine Lagarde, President of the ECB. All of them, in view of
the European elections, intend to stay and strengthen their role. We
have therefore focused our attention on three of them who hold key
positions in European politics, depicted in the triptych: Ursula Gertrud
von der Leyen, born Albrecht, who holds the position of President of the
European Commission, Roberta Tedesco Triccas, married to Métsola,
President of the European Parliament to her right and the one portrayed
on the side, the Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, using them as
paradigmatic figures for a more general reflection on women in politics.
Feminism, in its post-1968 phase, has strongly supported the importance
of women's political commitment, affirming that their presence in
institutions, especially if in the managerial and top positions of
politics, would certainly have contributed to making women more humane.
decision of the governors, giving the actions of the Governments that
feminine touch which would also materialize in politics a different way
of acting, precisely
of women. It even went so far as to argue that gender belonging had a
decisive influence on the policies conducted by the various governments,
regardless of their position in the political alignments, due to the
sole fact that the institutions were managed by women; this belief was
declined in the slogan that has become famous and multi-purpose: "woman
is beautiful".

What is happening unequivocally demonstrates the fallacy of this
statement, only if we examine the policies that characterize the
governments and states in which we find women at the top. First of all,
we note that, perhaps not by chance, their origin is mainly from
right-wing or center parties (which says a lot about the machismo of the
left) and that even when they belong to left-wing parties their
warmongering and inegalitarian policies are not dissimilar from those of
governments that preceded them, governed by men, and, incidentally, the
case in which the leaders in question are openly apartments in or refer
to LGBTQ communities is not even an exception.
On the other hand we have always thought that making political attitudes
and positions descend or even considering them conditioned by the gender
belonging of the rulers or by their tastes or preferences in sexual
matters, represented an illustrious nonsense which in substance has at
its base a content racist and discriminatory, since, like the factor
relating to ethnicity or skin color pigmentation, it is unacceptable and
misleading to consider it as a conditioning element of political behaviour.
This is because we are well aware that politics is an expression of
ideological convictions, but above all an expression of economic and
market interests and therefore, as such, can be represented and
guaranteed at top level, but also at any other level, independently, by
individuals belonging to different groups whether they are of a
sexual-emotional type or of culture and training, conditioned by
belonging to ethnic groups,
and the possession of other elements that we would define as merely
superstructural. In other words, if a governor is an asshole and
conducts policies that damage the lower classes, or propose social
relations marked by inequality, the persecution of minorities, the
marginalization of the poor, they pursue the unequal distribution of
wealth, favoring the wealthier classes, supporting power politics that
resort to war and militarism to affirm positions of power and defend the
interests of which they are bearers, well, it doesn't matter whether the
rulers are men or women: all this only sows damage, for this reason it
must be fought. The three (dis)graces are emblematic examples in this sense.

When woman is ugly

The three symbolic figures used amply confirm our point of view. The
President of the EU is "daughter of art", her father was President of
Lower Saxony. She of changing cultural interests, she passed from the
study of archeology to that of economics to finally arrive at those of
medicine. Like many other politicians, not just Germans, you plagiarized
43.5% of your degree thesis - as a commission of inquiry promoted by the
Hanover School of Medicine ascertained. she where she graduated, but
that she has maintained validity to her degree, claiming that she is not
It was ascertained how aware von der Leyen was of the plagiarism. For
her part, the person concerned was careful not to draw the consequences,
as did other German politicians who fell into the same behavior. She
joined the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU) and became a
minister, after numerous posts, she landed at the Ministry of Defense in
2013 where she remained continuously until 2019 and where she was able
to cultivate her warmongering vocation. In this capacity she weaves
solid ties with the war industry and in 2015 she is involved in a
scandal linked to the purchase of 138 war helicopters: the aircraft,
which cost the huge sum of 8.5 billion of state funds, also had numerous
technical problems and critical issues. His relations with the German
war industry attracted the attention of Parliament, which launched a
commission of inquiry into the cost of external consultancy from various
ministries; on this occasion the minister demonstrates remarkable
ability to conceal her work by having the interceptions of her
telephones destroyed before they reach the commission of inquiry,
inaugurating a peculiar skill of hers that she will also exercise later.
In 2019 he promotes the German government's policy on arms exports to
Saudi Arabia and Turkey and collaboration with India in the construction
of submarines. In 2019, supported by the German war industry and while
still Minister of Defense of Germany, she became President of the
Commission with 383 votes in favor out of 733 voters
(just 9 votes away). From his previous position he resigned only the day
after his election. In her new role, von der Leyen marries the business
of energy transition, environmental protection, technological innovation
and economic sovereignty. From these choices comes the Geen New Deal
plan which indicates as a priority the objective of "making the Europe
will be the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, stimulating the
economy, improving people's health and quality of life, taking care of
nature and improving the environment".
During her mandate, von der Leyen had to face the Covid emergency and
the negotiations that led to the European Union's purchase of vaccines
produced by Pfizer / BioNTech and AstraZeneca aroused many perplexities
and suspicions. The request for access to documents was answered that
the messages had been canceled because they were of an "ephemeral
nature". Unnecessarily in February 2023, the New York Times takes the
European Commission to court for not having made public the exchange of
messages between the President, Ursula von der Leyen, and the CEO of
Pfizer regarding the negotiation that led to the purchase of vaccine
doses for Covid.
But it is with the war in Ukraine that von der Leyen can fully
rediscover her genuine passion for arms and war, offering strong support
to Kiev not only to obtain funding but, above all, to promote the
shipment of arms, not leaving out a public occasion to perform in
clothing with the colors of the Ukrainian flag that replace his
improbable pink sweaters. Her triumph was gathered at home by sponsoring
the government's choice to finance the country's rearmament with a
budget of 1,000 billion euros, thanks to Defense Minister Christine
Lambrecht.

 From Malta a Christian Democrat raised by the Brussels bureaucracy

The President of the European Parliament is, in turn, a product of the
Community bureaucracy. A lawyer specializing in European political law,
he held the position of judicial legal cooperation officer of Malta
within the permanent representation of his country to the EU. Member of
the Maltese Nationalist Party Movement Zghazagh Partit Nazzjonalista,
was one of the leaders of the youth movement of the European People's
Party and general secretary. she distinguishing herself in the
characterizing and identity politics of the party of clear opposition to
the LGBTQ movement, for which she hypothesizes a special differentiated
legislation and identifies homosexuality with belonging to Soviet
communism (sic!). After failing to be elected to Parliament several
times in both 2004 and 2009, you were replaced by a party colleague who
resigned after being elected to the Maltese Parliament. On 11 January
2022 you succeeded David Sassoli as interim President of the European
Parliamentafter the death of the latter and elected President of the
European Parliament with 458 votes. As a good opportunist, genuinely
right-wing, she supports and works for a rightward shift of the
alliances of the European People's Party, made up of the Populars and
the Conservatives which excludes the Socialists.
The deep knowledge of the internal functioning mechanisms of the
community bureaucracy allowed her to move with skill and to take sides
in defense of the community institutions on the occasion of the scandal
connected to the lobbying activities in favor of Morocco and Qatar by
the deputy Pansieri & others.
On the Ukrainian issue and on the war, it too took radically
pro-Ukrainian positions, adopting solidarity symbols in matters of
clothing and professing radical Atlanticism on every occasion,
sponsoring the supply of weapons to Ukraine and declaring that it
pursued military defeat Russia as
the only possible solution to the conflict.

Giorgia Meloni the sovereign pro-European

Supporter of the primacy of the nation, Meloni has always been
anti-European and sovereignist; having become prime minister of Italy,
for political convenience, she changed her strategy in the community
sphere. Maintaining the strengthening of her power in Italy and the
transformation of the country into a corporate society with deeply
fascist values and political principles as her objective and center of
interest, today Meloni, having acquired the awareness that the economic
and governmental power of a country of the The European Union now
resides in Brussels and not in Rome, it aspires to become, with its
group of Conservatives, of which it is president within the European
Parliament, the backbone of the alliances which preside over the
election of the European Commission, at the
in order to determine its economic and social policies and ensure that
the choices at the central level fall back and are reflected within the
country of Italy.
It is for this reason that the Meloni government, ever since it took
office, has aimed at intervening in foreign policy, implementing a
division of roles and functions between the action of the Brothers of
Italy party which carries out political activity mainly within inside
the country is that of the premierm which operates on the front of
foreign policy for a new position of Italy in Europe, rigorously pro-US.
especially at the
in order to determine the conditions for the displacement of the
majorities within the Union and for changing its policies and
decision-making processes, favoring the power of the States over that of
the Commission, the powers of national law over that of the Community.
The enveloping maneuver towards the community institutions has one
objective: that of the European elections of June 2024, on the occasion
of which the fascist leader pursues the objective of giving life to a
new majority in Europe, with an alliance between Conservatives and
Populars to have the green light from the European Union to its stables
in Italy, aimed at making control of the country stable and lasting. The
goal is to bring about a real transformation of customs, of social
behaviour, of relations between classes,
It should be noted that one of the characteristics of this political
strategy is the gaze constantly turned to the past, to that need for
revenge, for revanchism which well expresses the resentment deriving
from a defeat that still burns, summarized by the cult of the flame that
has not been abandoned by the symbol of party he leads.

Better to lose them than to find them

Looking at what the three (dis)graces express and represent those who
suggest, we cannot help but look with contempt and horror at these three
women who represent and summarize the values and contents of a policy of
regression of social and productive relationships, of oppression of the
lower classes, of growth of inequalities, poverty, labor slavery,
personal and human civil liberties of women and men. Their presence on
the political scene is an invitation to political militancy in the
social struggle, it signals the need for an alliance, albeit momentary,
between progressive, genuinely liberal forces, people of good will,
revolutionaries who fight for a society of free and equals, to avoid
that the oppression of everyone and the institutions, enemies of the
peoples, promote war, lead Italy and all of Europe towards a future of
cultural, value and human retreat, making it fall towards the dark times
of its history. let everyone understand that a woman may not be
beautiful, but rather the personification of horror, since people, and
above all politicians, evaluate themselves on their behaviors and ideas,
rather than on the parameter of gender.
