(by John Blackeye) But in this moment of national crisis a question naturally arises: who do we have at the helm of the nation? Who is handling the emergency?
The national political system put in place in recent decades has meant that people who did not boast a specific curriculum but who were in line with one political party rather than another arrived in places of power.
If you count the recent legislatures, you understand that none of the Presidents of the Council have been voted on by the people. Nobody had a specific political ability or general competence if not to extricate themselves in the loops and meanders of the buildings. And perhaps in this last legislature we do not even have an expert in this regard.
Leading a nation in times like these requires a lot of professionalism and ability to command: that is, someone has to make decisions and make them effective with the help of the tools that the law gives him.
It is not the time for controversy, but if we see what has happened in the past few weeks, we spontaneously ask ourselves what will become of our near future. The clear feeling, common to all Italians, who in these days are spending their time zapping between news programs is the other, is that those who are at the top issue decrees perhaps with the unclear purpose of putting the cards in place , to justify their work. In fact, if a measure is issued but has no effect, that is, if until yesterday evening you have not been able to stop the movements of people from the red areas and from the contaminated Regions, then what are the decrees issued to do?
The answers are two or maybe more than two. The first is that we try to justify our work in a context where we do not know what else to do, regardless of achieving the desired results. The second, the worst, is that no one knows what else to do.
Disorientation is general and perhaps this is the evil between the evils. Not even ten days ago the virus was raging in secret in the national territory and no one had the audacity to bring up the Army to block any access and exit from the most contaminated areas.
Iwere issued a decree but in the usual flaw system of the Italian public administration, the draft of the provision was spotted on all the national TG allowing those who were at home to travel to the South in a last desperate move to the land of the Sunshine where the virus apparently did not cause the damage it caused to the North.
In the face of these situations, it is clear that we must team up, we must build a wall, we must all work together but with a greater level of professionalism and determination, in the face of weeks spent listening to the mouths of finance concerned with regularizing overruns in public debt.
Someone said: “if all goes well, we are ruined”. Here, we have the strength and excellence to be able to avoid it, to this we add the extra “quid” that we Italians have always shown by writing the pages of our past. Then, a glance at the good God, forgotten by all, is he who has the edges of the universe in his hands and he is the only one who can help us get out of here.
