(en) Italy, UCADI #186 - G7: Six zombies and a dwarf (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Thu, 25 Jul 2024 08:48:24 +0300


In talk shows in which the results of the European elections are commented on, everything is done to hide that the real loser of the electoral confrontation in Europe is Vladimir Zelensky and his associates. Yet there is no doubt: the student of the école nationale d'administration (ENA) who would like to make young French men wear boots to send them to fight in Ukraine and the always astonished and catatonic German Chancellor, have been harshly punished by the electorate .
It is also true that the final result was already written before the G7. Everyone knew that it was a gigantic survey that should have involved 373 million citizens on paper, even though less than half of those entitled to participate in the event. Therefore even the indications that can be gleaned from the electoral pronouncement are completely partial. However. even if it is legitimate to discuss the lack of representativeness of the electoral body, some indications on the feelings of the voters emerge in any case and concern the profound rejection of the war, a problem that has been raised and managed differently by the parties in contention, but has been stigmatised, with paths and with different but converging effects, on the part of many right-wing and left-wing voters.
The political class of the various parties that competed in the European elections does not seem to notice all this and continues to pretend nothing happened, having already decided to continue financing the Ukrainian war and the West's war effort against Russia. Yet the election results demonstrate that criticism of Europe's commitment to Ukraine has come from both the right and the left and the awareness is strengthening and growing that it is not in the interests of the European peoples to wage a proxy war against Ukraine. Russia.
Even if the press that supports the war effort continues to accuse critics of the intervention in favor of Ukraine of being agents in the service of Russia, anyone who looks objectively at the economic interests and needs of the European production system understands well that the root cause of the conflict lies in the project supported by the United States and Great Britain to cut off the low-cost energy supplies ensured by Russia to the German industry, in order to recover its competitiveness and put it into crisis, with the result of damaging the the economy of the entire continent which, as is known, is based on the Franco-German economic axis.
The narrative that support for Ukraine is justified by Russian aggression against a democratic country is patently false. The Ukrainian state is managed by a group of illiberal oligarchs who mimic Putin in everything, including the persecution of minorities, the mortification of freedoms, starting from religious freedom, and then moving on to civil liberties (see: Ukrainian massacre).
Aware of the fact that the institutional obligations necessary for the renewal of community positions will force the European Union into a period of non-operation, the six zombies under the benevolent eye of the blonde dwarf, on the occasion of the G7 in Puglia have decided to use the resulting profits from Russian assets deposited abroad and confiscated, allocating the returns of these to the financing granted to the rapacious and insatiable Ukrainian government. This is, as is clear, an emergency solution which will however cost dearly, because it undermines the credibility of the international economic system. From now on the governments of the various states are warned and will think carefully before depositing their wealth and funds abroad, having become aware of the fact that these can be requisitioned and their profits redistributed, at the total discretion of the governments that have committed to guaranteeing the deposit.

The electoral outcome

It is no coincidence that these decisions were taken at the G7, before knowing the results of the vote. Now, after an initial shock immediately following the publicization of the election results, the leaders of the various European countries gathered for dinner, telling each other that nothing has changed, and that, for goodness' sake, things will continue as before. On the other hand, at least according to the numerical data, the old majority emerges from the vote strengthened, even if the distribution of votes between the parties of the coalition has changed. In truth, the mechanism of representation in the European Parliament is designed to guarantee its self-preservation. The difficulties begin when we look at what happens within individual states and in this light the assessments change.

The crisis in France is full-blown, so much so that Macron immediately dissolved Parliament and decided to hold early elections. The catatonic German chancellor pretends nothing has happened, but the internal situation of the country becomes worrying, while the prospect of an axis opens up between at least part of the Bavarian CSU and Alternative fur Deutscheland, which could constitute the backbone of the government in the future German. This aspiration could find support in the result of the next Austrian elections, if the trend towards the affirmation of the extreme right were confirmed in this country too. In this case, a political nucleus that in the past produced the rise to power of Nazism would be reproduced in the center of Europe.
From the first consultations conducted around the table set by the leaders of the various countries, the one who remained without food is the Italian Prime Minister, both as a member of the group she presides at the European Union and as leader of the country Italy. Her aspiration to obtain a prominent position in the future Commission seems destined to fail, as the votes of her formation are inessential for the election to top positions. Of the Union. It is forgotten, on the Italian side, that obtaining important positions is the result of a combination of the political position of the candidate to hold the position, placed in relation to the country of origin. It happens that Italy, despite being one of the founding countries and one of the important economies of Europe, has a political representation considered unacceptable by the other partners. Certainly the press reports made known by the investigations into the Prime Minister's party and the habits of its militants have not strengthened the presentability of her political aggregation, nor is it conceivable that, seen in light of the necessary balances between the role of Parliament and that of the States, even a possible success of Le Pen in France could produce an increase in the political weight of the Italian leader.
This is all the more so since all European governments will have to deal with the growing costs of the war in Ukraine, which, by absorbing everyone's economic resources, makes not only the implementation of a green policy, even if attenuated and diluted over time, but also the Union's ability to address the problems posed by technological innovation, the climate crisis and above all the crisis of the welfare systems, growing throughout the Union, which produces budget imbalances, so much so that in light of the new stability pact, the infringement procedures and the requests to reduce the excessive deficit have already been notified.
If we take into account that the continuation of the commitment towards Ukraine should be accompanied by an overall increase in military spending, to implement the rearmament of the European countries, it is clear that there is a lack of resources to implement these policies, on which moreover The possible and tragic outcome of the elections in the United States hangs like a specter.
Without the necessary economic resources, the European Union budget has no way of dealing with the many problems posed by the planned enlargement of the Union which will entail a necessary remodulation of the budget and new priorities to the detriment of the populations of the countries that are currently part of it while not Interstate relations could only become more complicated due to the increase in the Orthodox component of the population due to new entries, and the growth of the population of Islamic religion and culture, due to the unsolvable migration problem. To be addressed, these problems would require economic resources which are absorbed by war and rearmament and by a general economic crisis due to the slowdown in trade and internationalization processes that characterize this phase of contraction of globalization
