beautiful and acceptable article by Lino Patruno, once again we are in tune with good journalist Puglia ...
----------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
No one knows how it will end, but it happened. For the first time in the history of Italy, a popular television program as "door to door" invited to participate in the Movement neoborbonico. Who had demanded the right of reply after the ride patriotic Benigni in the Sanremo Festival. Then the Libyan civil war has done to postpone the show.
Now, say Neoborbonici not say anything at all. Perhaps it is easier than the devil himself should be invited to a church, that the name "neoborbonico" is pronounced: this is blasphemy. If you want to find an adjective disagreeable and unanimously condemned, here it is: Bourbon. To say inept. inefficient, backward, cialtronesco. Read Bourbon. Bourbon bureaucracy. Bourbon behavior. Finally the police or the prison Bourbon Bourbon. The Evil Empire. Never mind that Cavour's envoy, came to Naples as hell, then he said, it behooves us to imitate, this Bourbon administration. And never mind the whole kit 'live or' rre ", flags lilies, glorious pageants. Even in a country where there is a Northern League the statute states in Article one: our goal is secession.
It allows you not only to wipe his backside with the flag, but to be the determining force in the government of a country that openly wants to split.
But "neoborbonico" you can not say. Nostalgic, Passat, pathetic. A shame to be kept locked in a room like in horror movies. It completely erased from history. Premise: the Bourbons of interest as much as we can. As the controversy if they themselves are better or worse, in an age where it is not that abound States samples of well-being or characters champion of democracy. Forget the controversy about who was richer. And never mind the historical truth that the Bourbons that they had not threatened anyone, even the partisans were seen in the house without a declaration of war and not they had ever said no, Italy does not want it. Indeed it was, and even secretly together and to make it federal. But as it was, someone shot him. We say that the story gets even so. And what would an Italy disunited made great strides forward.
Forget everything. But memory is something else. It can not be denied to anyone. And no country that wants to define the country, and united in addition, can afford to take out a part of its history. And do not make the bills. In the United States has fought, and together with the Risorgimento, the most atrocious civil war of the Western world since the genocide of the natives, the "Indians" of western movies. They accepted the reasons for the losers and their national holiday celebrating together. So France with its Revolution. And Germany. And Spain. And England after the Puritans of Cromwell. And the same federal Switzerland, born of a massacre between the cantons. But even in Italy are beginning to recognize the equal dignity to the dead of Salo, who were fighting on the wrong side but who is respected for fighting and nothing else.
Not a thing, not a headstone, not a mention of school books, not a flower to the south who died for their country. It has nothing to do even the robbers, who came after and are something else. There may be dead dead series A and series B? It 's true that the Renaissance began to criticize the very moment when it was done. But then there is a Renaissance betrayed that 150 years later we read everywhere in the South, and not just in the numbers of the gap. This
the soul, pardon, Neoborbonici, and other southern movement, whose desires for secession are not even remotely comparable to those of the Northern League.
And still throw like dust under the carpet does not help anyone. Why are many, and passionate, and committed to the emotion. To understand rather than demonize, because they are also a South always kept on the edge from the rest of the country, outside of Italy must be united to celebrate itself, however, in the largest possible disunity. If this is obscurantism
neoborbonico, may be said. Who knows se è neoborbonico chi si attende che, quando un capo del governo si alza al mattino, la prima cosa che faccia è guardare una cartina e vedere dove nel Sud manca un’autostrada o un binario. E agire.
Guardare la cartina e vedere dove i giovani non hanno lavoro e sono una generazione perduta. Guardare la cartina e vedere dove la criminalità è più forte dello Stato che non c’è. Tutti i capi dei governi, da 150 anni, avrebbero dovuto e, a conti fatti, non l’hanno fatto.
Obiezione: ma proprio ora dobbiamo parlarne, ora che dobbiamo invece riscoprire le ragioni dello stare insieme in questo Paese? Appunto, il problema è stare insieme, e come. E poi, se non ora, quando?
