J'Accuse of Sunday 15 December 2024 on Atreju, a commedia dell'arte of the brothers retaliating against our right-wingers

What is Atreju? He is one of the main characters in Michael Ende's novel The Neverending Story, along with Bastian and Fùcur. He belongs to the Greenskins people and the first part of the book is almost entirely dedicated to his character. Shortly after his birth, he lost his parents, killed by a Purple Buffalo. From that moment on, the child "Atreju" was raised by all the Greenskins men and women and, for this reason, he was called Atreju, which translated into the Great Language means "Son of All". Now, daring to translate this idea of ​​ the "son of all (Atreju)" into the current political context of the the political party Fratelli d'Italia "Brothers of Italy" is as bold and contradictory as it is unreal. Unfortunately, what we have seen so far is an authoritarian involution - (which does not respect the anti-fiscal spirit of the republican constitution) - of the national political institutions made up of short-sighted laws, government decrees that do not aim at the real problems of the country, which pass without a parliamentary debate (passed with a vote of confidence), with appointments to state economic bodies, with the occupation of Mamma Rai, with the repression of student and workers' protests, with support for the Israeli state and the genocide of Palestinians and Arabs in the Middle East, with the occupation of cultural institutions and the gag on journalists made up of intimidations and complaints, with the failure to pass the minimum salary for workers and, on the other hand, the increase in the salaries of unelected ministers, with a fiscal policy that aims to keep the taxation of employees' incomes high, salaried and that does not rigorously pursue the fight against tax evasion, the main source of which is self-employment. In short, this whole list of facts and behaviors do not apply to Atreju and cannot be representative of a character who lends himself to being a son of all. When we, go to analyze the history of the party of the "Brothers of Italy" and its own political identity. The same place chosen for its celebration takes us back to a piece of the history of the twenty years of fascism: on October 28, 1934, a rally took place, a sort of congress of the National Fascist Party. Mussolini, in the photo of this article, gives the Roman salute to the athletes in Circus Maximus. Behind him Starace and the Undersecretary of State Valle, with other authorities. Under the stage some members of the Party. The event took place on the occasion of the anniversary of the fascist revolution and the inauguration of the new road of Circus Maximus.

Now the slogan: “We are back!” is very significant. It does not need further comments. Its meaning and symbolism are immediately understood. All the political folklore put together in this circumstance gives us the idea that all this is instrumental and fallacious: even the very idea of ​​dialogue and political debate that is usually spread through Atreju. If we go to observe that the same country is governed as the journalist Aldo Cazzullo said by a group of friends and relatives that does not go beyond the horizon of a neighborhood of our capital, the thing should make us worry or at least reflect.

 

Today, on the closing day, Meloni's attack against the opposition. Which opposition? Schlein, who votes with her to send weapons to Ukraine and is an expression of the strong powers? I would reply to her. Too bad! Landini himself ended up in her sights, because he dared to speak of social revolt. Well, I share the idea but it is a utopia, because only hunger will lead Italians to rebel against the institutions and political parties. the Italian people today praise the president as much as once, in the distant twenty years, that same people was enchanted by the projects and dreams of the Duce. To every people the government it deserves.
