Ukraine, Cacciari: “On the Peace Debacle of the Left”
“On May 7, I signed the appeal for the pacifist squadron against arms shipments to Ukraine. Against arms deliveries, of course, but above all to demand that our country finally work together with other people of good will to open a table of serious negotiations to prevent this conflict from taking on even more tragic and apocalyptic proportions.” That explains Massimo Cacciari the Fatto Quotidiano.”Italy is completely absent – he adds – Macron is the only one making at least a few scenes. Then there is the disappearance of Germany, which is going through an impressive class and political leadership crisis after Merkel’s departure.” He comments on positions: “There has been a total cultural debacle of the Italian and European left, every voice has long since disappeared. Perhaps the voices were once whimsical, ideological, whatever you want, but the complete lack of any self-reflection is quite striking”. “The fate of the conflict is in the hands of the states – he continues – and the main responsibility for the lack of a peace table lies with Europe. This war gives us a fact: Europe as a political destiny is over. Consequences are dramatic, for where empires are on a collision course and there is no power capable of mediating between them, we can arrive at the final clash”.
