Everything is decided in Rome, this Sicily no longer counts for anything
Why we have become irrelevant. Because the things that definitely have to come to us elsewhere.
Sicily? For the things that matter, it is now necessary to knock on the doors of foreign power buildings, there where ladies and gentlemen gather who have a voice in the chapter to reign and that fog over their voices to spread the sun. And they say, promise and swear that Sicilian matters must be decided down here, God forbid. And, while they swear and promise, who knows if they’ll laugh.
Let’s take the Musumeceide, the story of a president of the Region, Nello Musumeci, who wants to run at any cost, while his opponent, Gianfranco Miccichè, at any cost, does not want to. The game is not Sicilian, if not in the area where it is not controlled, if anything it is Roman and interlocking. And it is all an internal dynamic of the center-right, in fact, in Roman terms, as a summary geography of true political power.
If the name of Musumeci (difficult) will be the right one to put the pieces in place, in the opposing tests of strength, cheers Nello. If another (easier) name comes up, as we have told here, so that Giorgia, Matteo and Silvio are satisfied, perhaps with a (a) fighter candidate (a) at Palazzo d’Orleans, a melonossimo close in Lazio and a Salvinian in Lombardy … dear governor, resign yourself and do not be surprised by anything. Usually, then, those who swell their chest on the island, subsequently, fly to the banks of the Tiber to ask, at least, for a seat.
In Palermo, however, the mayor Roberto Lagalla he will have to bargain every day with the quarrelsome members of his coalition, according to appetites which arise here, but which cannot ignore Roman suggestions. This was demonstrated by a troubled electoral campaign, in the depiction of a Sicilian-Panormitan center-right who consumed the batteries of mobile phones, in diligent contact with their respective national leaderships.
What is the new joint if not a demonstration of the assumption, in a semblance of threads also pulled from above? A modus operandi from the ruling party power, with an eye to the ‘higher plots’. Moreover, the Municipality will probably be sensitive to the indications of Rome, given that the bailout money is to arrive. We are sure that government questions will not mix with purely political advice, especially if the same community that is established in Palazzo delle Aquile will reign in Palazzo Chigi?
Finally, there is the story in the shadow of Liotru, with the mayor Salvo Pogliese who resigned, bringing together his various indications that we have given an account of in a reasoning. The timing of the ‘salutamu’ would, however, allow him to apply with the Brothers of Italy at the gates of 25 September. Here is another example of Romanism that seems to prevail – objectively, casually, like a destiny – over insularity, while Catania declines into a dramatic abandonment.
But it is the whole of Sicily that disappears, which disappears, which evaporates in its usefulness, in the colonization that afflicts it, in its subjection, in its irrelevance. Sicily without a leader, nor prominent figures, nor personalities who know how to do politics and not just suffer it, discussing everything, but not necessarily accepting everything. This Sicily mischina – the language to tell it is there, dear grace, left over – which no longer counts. (Roberto Puglisi)
