the best of nothing Travaglio at the worst of Scalfari

Immigrants and Government, who won and who lost? Giuseppe Conte or Emmanuel Macron? Matteo Salvini or Angela Merkel? [App di Blitzquotidiano, gratis, clicca qui,- Ladyblitz clicca qui –Cronaca Oggi, App on Google Play] According to a long tradition, in Italy for centuries the principle of rooting foreigners is valid, even if it hurts the Italians. The tradition is perpetuated in the current controversy over immigrants, illegal immigrants, NGOs and hotspots.

We follow the last lines through two highly polarized newspapers about the Lega-M5s government. Il Fatto e Repubblica

Italian politics, observes Marco Travaglio, is "reduced to football derby, which exchanges the European summit for a World Cup match". The newspapers objected to: "Repubblica, Stampa, Giornale and Libero celebrate the huge defeat of Conte (" a chicken "that was" taken for a ride ") and the isolation of populist Italy" .

For Marco Travaglio, "the truth lies in the middle: Tale did not win 70 or 80%, but he was not even defeated, isolated and cheated. He fought with a pragmatic style, he used the right of veto over the conclusions of the summit, which did not even mention the migrants for lack of agreement on Thursday, and produced Friday 12 points of synthesis among the very different positions of the 27 Member States. Partially vague, partially contradictory, partially precise. "

It is difficult to blame him for the fact that this is" a step forward both on the black predictions of yesterday (not agree) and on the absolute zero collected by previous governments: good competent, not populist. Until the eve of the so-called Prime Minister, from B. to Letta, from Renzi to Gentiloni, they left for Brussels, announcing the fire and the flames, the blows and the punches on the table. Then they arrived there and, like Fantozzi in front of the galactic megadirectory office, they did not even dare to knock on the door ("I do not have hands …"). They did not open their mouths, they signed everything and smiled sculettanti in the last group photo.

"Then they came back home and extended their arms: it happened like this, it will be for next time.What time to criticize the count are just them – those who hanged the # 39, Italy, then isolated and ignored, the Dublin suicide pacts and the commitment to do everything yourself in exchange for "flexibility" to lose in the electoral councils – is the comedian (while the Democratic party the European Socialist Party, whose demos are part of it, rejoices at the success.) Also because, compared to their nothingness, something Tale brought him home.

"1 . In the final declaration, even northern European countries recognize for the first time that migratory flows from Africa should no longer be addressed by states but by the whole of Europe. the EU in a "global" way, with investments to avoid humanitarian and social tragedies. .

"2. Reception and identification centers for the examination of asylum applications (hotspots), until then reserved exclusively for landing country (Italy, Spain and Greece), can also be created in other EU countries. Only on a "voluntary" basis, it is true: but until now they were not exactly planned

"3. The very important principle of" outsourcing "migrant landings pbad: it will be necessary to convince countries aspiring to enter the EU (as Albania and Kosovo) or more European (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and even Libya) to temporarily accommodate survivors rescued at sea in the structures needed to select asylum applications, under the control of the EU and the UN

"4. After the agreement, the Conté government can immediately take two initiatives in agreement with the EU: allocate funds to buy new patrol boats for the Libyan Coast Guard, which will be formed by a new small contingent of Italian soldiers and should no longer be "hobbled" or bypbaded by private ships (like those of well-deserved NGOs); and meet the Libyan Prime Minister in Sarraj to speak directly with Tripoli without the intervention of Macron, crushed on the dangerous general Haftar who reigns over Benghazi. […] Out of 10 candidates, only 1 has the right. And "economic" migrants, who can not enter Europe, will be offered badisted "voluntary" repatriation (a Nigerian who has spent 5 thousand dollars to go to Libya, will have 7-8 thousand to return to Nigeria on planes paid by the EU). "

" 5. If anyone was deceived, it is not Italy, but Spain and Greece, who signed Bilateral agreements with Germany to recover "secondary" migrants without guarantees on the allocation of "primary". Tale, unlike Tsipras and Sanchez, the separate agreement with Merkel refused to sign it.

"It is still too little, but better than nothing before," concludes Travaglio

Opposite the thought of Eugenio Scalfari on Repubblica:

"An Italy and a Salvini brand Europe is the worst of a country like ours can express, but for now this is the only existing scenario.We are, as would have says Cecco Angiolieri, at the worst of the moment. "

His article is moved by Roberto Fico's position on NGOs, devoting one of his main titles to him on Sunday. From time to time, Fico, a Neapolitan like Di Maio, has jolts, to recover the political space of a fairly rigid position. After the precedent of Laura Boldrini, who tried to make of the presidency of the House a tribune, leaving quite scornacchiata, it is necessary to be careful.

On the other hand, Fico already occupies an important institutional position, that of chairman of the Parliamentary Rai Supervisory Commission. It was very institutional. And shut up.
