In France a heavy political shock but apparently Macron is not to blame

In France, within a few days, the political situation underwent a decidedly heavy shock: in the second round of elections, Macron did not retain the absolute majority he had obtained in the first round. Yet, as far as he is known to those who live outside that country, in recent days he has not been guilty of any guilt so serious that it can, in some way, justify this almost debacle.
Francis, on Sunday at the angelus, expressed a form of lamentation that often resulted in the surreal. He began with the denunciation of the non-conformity (personal opinion, hopefully) of the world organization as a whole, which would not be in line with the evangelical dictates. Although the concept has not been explicitly illustrated, the current pretender to the throne of Peter (!) Once again wanted to underline that the main proof of the devil’s action among the populations is that a large part of them go in search of profit. He well knows even those who have followed a few catechism lessons that the campar of the air is not of this world, falling only in the package that the deserving of the eternal prize receive. To report only the highlight of the sermon from the balcony, how some expression of the type used by the Samnites against the Romans at the Caudine Forks has not been heard, coming from that assembly, nothing else can have been but a miracle. Given the context, it is difficult to believe that it went differently. Therefore he on earth, or at least considered as such by many, addressed the fateful question to the multitude of faithful who were waiting for the word. In the parvis of St. Peter’s Square heated by the sun, the question resounds what the recipients were doing for Ukraine. As it happened, there was no Pierino present in the situation, who would certainly have responded in kind. Most likely he would have shouted at him blatantly: “certainly more than you and your court, including the Swiss Guards”. Completing immediately after: “Besides the expression of good intentions, in the century called chatter, you here and Keryll in Moscow, what are you doing in concrete?” Meanwhile in Odessa, one of the descendants of those Neapolitans who moved there in the Bourbon era, told his current compatriots that his ancestors used to tell that “gossip and wooden tobacconists, the Banco di Napoli does not accept them as a pledge” . Beyond the farcical question and answer of the two spiritual leaders, what have they actually done or intend to do? Similar in scope to the question above, was the one addressed to the Head of the Catholic Church at the end of an audience by a Ukrainian child. To the little one who, in anguish, asked him when he had decided to go to his part, the chief replied: “As soon as the situation allows it”. He would have made a better impression if he had replied: “when the war is over”. At the risk that the following statement may sound blasphemous, in recent times Francesco has increasingly resembled Don Trajella. This is the parish priest of Aliano seen in Francesco Rosi’s film Christ stopped in Eboli, taken from the diary of the same name by Carlo Levi kept during his confinement. That country parish priest, accustomed to raising his elbow, spent his time writing and uttering insults against everyone and against everything. He also made them from the altar, also involving the faithful who attended the mass. In doing so, he had turned against a good part of the faithful and those who remained, barely tolerated him. Both situations, the sacred, Francis, the profane, Macron could have been caused by the extraordinary heat and one would also be inclined to believe it. But in Russia, where it is cooler, what is happening in Russia to the point that the statements of the oligarchs are following a crescendo for the worse similar to what often occurs in the village tavern? Among those tables, after an abundant banquet, a foul competition often kicks off to see who shoots the biggest. Started with grotesque displays of strength by Putin, continued with the picturesque and gaudy annual parade of the Red Army on the square in the same color, in recent days, the same has reached its apotheosis, at least until now. At the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, Putin invited the West to stay out of the affair, as if to say: “it’s our thing” and the fact speaks for itself. Immediately afterwards, a blasphemous rosary began to flow through Zavlov, his foreign minister, who, running like a top among the loyal or loyal ones of his client, continued to repeat, in Russian and English, something similar to “winning, and we will win”. Together with Keryll, a blatant denial of spirituality in the broadest sense, he has completed for now the company of hikers who play a poor quality farce, past president Medvedev. The face of a neo-melodic singer that can be easily traced in the Camorra parties, the fourth-rate drama type is currently playing the role of the councilor. Precisely of the trusted adviser, of the protagonist, the Infamone, the stick leader Putin. That guy, learning the news that the process for the admission of Ukraine into the EU had started on the right foot, commented, with a grin halfway between fake wonder and sarcasm, that the end of the year is all to be decided. turbid in fieri, provided that Europe still existed at the time. Not even Khrushchev, at the time of the Cold War, more precisely the Cuban crisis, used terms and phrases from grand guignol such as those just reported. Once again he is finding confirmation of the ancient pearl of peasant wisdom that any species, when it fails to evolve, does not settle on the position reached, but begins to retreat. Churchill, immediately after the new geopolitical order of the world was configured in Yalta after the end of the war, spoke about it with a tone of voice halfway between worried and frowning.
He affirmed with conviction that that arrangement would not remain stable beyond the end of the last century. The reason would have been the crisis of leaders unable to keep it as those who had concretized it had delivered it. Probably he exceeded in prudence with the temporal goal, while he was optimistic in hypothesizing the quality of the heads of state that would alternate. He would never be able to convince himself that the auri sacra fames of those who pull the strings would bring the world to the edge of a cosmic abyss. Where now, unfortunately, it is dangerously positioned ..
