Listen to the Tomorrow’s Fact podcastAFTER THE TANKS, THE F-16: THE ARMS PARTY PREPARES THE NEW ESCALATION. THE VOICE OF THE PACIFISTS: INTERVIEW WITH STEFANO ZAMAGNI. On Memorial Day, Putin accused Kyiv of neo-Nazi crimes, while his spokesman Peskov agreed with Trump, who yesterday invoked a nuclear holocaust as a result of the tank deployment. Military experts are now wondering about the problems raised by General Fabio Mini on today’s fact: Western tanks are few compared to those from Moscow, but above all they are very heterogeneous in terms of ammunition, fuel and functionality. The Ukrainians, committed to tanks, are already pressing the button on the planes: they want the F-16. Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov posted a video of a fighter jet on social media with the phrase “soon in Ukrainian skies.” The White House is reluctant on this point and Berlin has already said no, but the tanks’ history teaches that they can change their minds. Much more decisive was the reaction of the arms manufacturers. The F-16’s American parent company, Lockheed Martin, said it was ready to meet demand for new jets for Kyiv and urged governments to take the step. After all, an F-16 alone can cost up to 64 million dollars. Last year, the value of US military exports rose 49% to $52 billion, thanks largely to purchases by Germany and Poland (which bought 250 Abrams tanks). After seeing that the Italians are against rearmament, sul Made by tomorrow We will give a voice to the pacifist movements and those who support the line of negotiated settlement of the conflict. You can read an interview with the economist Stefano Zamagni on these questions. Giuseppe Conte’s voice was also raised from politics against “extreme belligerence”. The leader of the M5S spoke clearly: “The only credible perspective is to achieve a diplomatic breakthrough. This does not mean reconciling with the terms that Russia wants to dictate, we are not neutral on this matter, we have always strongly condemned Putin’s aggression. The problem is the way out. The only certainty right now is this military escalation, which we are embracing by sending more and more sophisticated arsenals.”
ZELENSKY IN SAN REMO THE CONTROVERSY GROW. Another side of the clash of ideas about the war revolves around Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s participation in the Sanremo Festival, which was subsequently invited, as has happened at other international festivals. Many, from different angles and political positions, have pointed out the inappropriateness of the initiative. The front of opposites is growing and, after Matteo Salvini, also includes unexpected ones like Carlo Calenda and Maurizio Gasparri, alongside the most awaited Beppe Grillo, Alessandro Di Battista, Carlo Freccero. The latter judged the choice at today’s event as a mistake for Rai and a mistake for Ukraine. Moni Ovadia had also started in similar positions the day before. Calenda’s arguments are not so far removed: “There are contexts suitable for a dramatic message, such as war, and others that are not – said the leader of Azione –. I don’t think it would help Zelensky to intervene between one song and the other.” Conte also agrees: “I was very happy when Fico invited Zelensky to the Chamber. However, I think that having Zelensky in such a light context as Sanremo is not so necessary now. A voice was also raised by the Pd. Gianni Cuperlo, candidate for the Secretariat of the Left, was the last to define the Ukrainian President’s participation in the song festival as inappropriate: “It’s a war. People die. If Rai would like to vote for the President of an attacked country that is defending itself, send a message to Unified Networks. But let’s not confuse the tragedy with the audience.” The only one who marvels at the controversy is the author of Zelensky’s hosting at the Ariston: Bruno Vespa, who justifies himself by saying that “high figures of international politics attended the festival and all social issues were discussed, including bloody ones”. . There are many festivals and fairs where a video by Zelensky could be seen in the last year: sul Made by tomorrow You will read a summary of guests and interventions, from the Grammy Awards to the Golden Globes in Cannes.
RELATIONS BETWEEN ANTONIO D’ALÌ AND MATTEO MESSINA DENARO. MARIA SODANO SPEAKS. The Carabinieri have released a video showing the inside of Matteo Messina Denaro’s house in Campobello di Mazara (the first discovery). You see the living room with Joker and Godfather posters and reproductions of Van Gogh paintings, in a room used as a gym there is a bench with weights and dozens of pairs of shoes. Social media has focused on the controversy against Vittorio Feltri, editor-in-chief of Libero and leader of Fratelli d’Italia in Milan for the Lombardy regional elections, who wrote provocatively on Twitter: “If Messina Denaro is a murderer, why in that village where he lived was identified and reported? Did Meloni have to arrest him? The meaning of the news that caused an uproar is that the first culprits for the boss’s hiding are ordinary citizens who have not come forward. But the subjects and powers that prevented the conquest of Messina Denaro for 30 years are very different. on Made by tomorrow we will remember him starting from the reconstruction of the history of the relations of the politician Antonio D’Alì (now in prison for external competition) with the mafia. Read also an interview with Maria Sodano, widow of Prefect Fulvio Sodano, expelled from Trapani 20 years ago at the behest of D’Alì.
WORK: MORE STABLE EMPLOYEES IN 2022. WEALTH PER CAPITA IS RISING BUT REAL WEALTH IS DECREASE. Almost a million new jobs have been created in the last two years without layoffs. According to the joint labor market statement published today by the Ministry of Labour, the Bank of Italy and Anpal. The institutions emphasize that the budget for 2022 is “broadly positive, but the slowdown in the labor market is confirmed at the end of the year”. Permanent contracts have grown: over 400,000 stable jobs were created in the year, while the previous year was marked by a sharp rise in precarious employment due to pandemic uncertainty. However, growth in 2022 was mostly concentrated in Central-North. on Made by tomorrow We will analyze these figures and give them substance by telling the stories of the last Italian industrial crises. Another Bank of Italy work with Istat published today shows instead that Italians’ wealth per capita is growing (+3% in 2021), but less than in other EU countries and only thanks to financial wealth, while wealth real is down 1%.
