Di Luigi Grimaldi. Thursday, April 29 last year, Britain's The Economist published an unusual article, not size, that deserves some reflection.
"Who is not right with your neighbor can always move to another neighborhood, which nations are not able to do. But suppose instead that they can do so. rearrange the map of European existence would make the most logical and friendly. " The Economist plays well with the map and move here and there, affinities for the various European countries. The playful mappetta the British daily moves well in other "positions": Britain, Poland, Belgium, Czech Republic, Belarus, the 'Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Ukraine, Switzerland
The next step suggested by the 'Economist would reorder the Balkans. "Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo should exchange places with near Macedonia in place of Kosovo to Serbia, Kosovo freed space on the coast of Albania, which then slitterebbe inside."
But here's the piece de resistance, we rigurda more closely. Whoever remains in place because there is fine where it is?
"Bosnia is too fragile to move and where it will stay there."
"Germany can remain where it is, as well as France." But Austria could slip to the west, instead of Switzerland, "so that even in Slovenia and Croatia to move to the northwest. May join the North Italy to form a new regional alliance (ideally ruled by a Doge of Venice). "So Italy is all right? Ninete at all, now is the best." The rest of the boot - writes the Economist - from Rome down, broke away to create, together with Sicily, a new country, officially called the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (but nicknamed the Bordello - in Italian in text) threads. Could give rise to a monetary union with Greece - and nobody else.
Now the problem of the division of the country is already done on the carpet. The chosen name, then "Bordello" is significant. Brothel in fact, Italian is synonymous with the word "casino" which figuratively means confusion. Now the word "confusion" in English translates to the word "racket" that, in Italy, we know at least the drafting of the Economist, is one of the main economic activities of the Mafia.
really a strange journalistic performance that nonsense aside, seems to contain some message about the future of our country. Of all the "movements" as suggested by the British newspaper in fact the only "real possibility" are the ones that relate to Italy in relation to Austria, Slovenia, Croatia. Not to talk about the division between north and south. Economist who know something we do not yet know about our future?
