Forza Italia, La Carfagna Non C'è. a Destra La Sfida Dei Mussolini Forza Italia, la Carfagna non c’è. A destra la sfida dei Mussolini di Andrea Pellegrino Dopo un’intensa giornata di trattative, sospetti, annunci e ritirate, Mara Carfagna non è candidata alle europee. Al secondo posto, dopo Silvio Berlusconi, nella circoscrizione meridionale, c’è l’uscente Barbara Matera. Poi Fulvio Martusciello, Aldo Patriciello e il salernitanoAntonio Ilardi. Insomma, la Carfagna non si conterà e non lancerà nessuna “opa” a Silvio Berlusconi, così comei mmaginato da una parte del partito azzurro. Farà campagna elettorale, annuncia, “così come sempre”, cercando di sostenere sul suo territorio (quello salernitano, appunto) l’ingegnere Antonio Ilardi, ex ad dell’aeroporto “Costa d’Amalfi”. «Forza Italia – dice Ilardi – ha messo in campo, nella circoscrizione meridionale, una squadra autorevole e coesa, di cui mi onoro di far parte, guidata dal presidente Silvio Berlusconi. Inizio oggi una esperienza in cui desidero rappresentare le aspettative di sviluppo del nostro territorio, i valori e le radici cristiane della nostra Europa, le speranze di pace e benessere del nostro popolo. Mi accompagneranno e mi sosterranno, in ognuno dei prossimi 40 giorni, tutti i volti degli uomini e delle donne che ho avuto la fortuna di incontrare in questi anni nella rappresentanza studentesca, nell’associazionismo cattolico ed imprenditoriale, nonché nell’amministrazione pubblica. Avanti, forza, per Salerno e per il sud». Anche in Forza Italia c’è un Mussolini, con Alessandra che riabbraccia il Cavaliere. In Fratelli d’Italia, sempre nella circoscrizione meridionale c’è Caio Giulio Cesare Mussolini. Una sfida tutta in famiglia. «Non parlerò mai male di un mio parente – afferma Caio Mussolini – Poi ci sono tante differenze. Personali e politiche. Per esempio io mi candido con un partito di destra, Fratelli d’Italia. A ogni modo contavo di chiamarla in campagna elettorale per chiederle dei suggerimenti, visto che sono 27 anni che fa politica mentre io sono nuovo. Vorrà dire che la chiamerò per farle un sincero in bocca al lupo». DE LUCA JR.: «CAMBIARE NUMERO SEGGI» Piero De Luca solleva il caos seggi. A quanto pare sarebbero stati ripartiti considerando già il Regno Unito fuori dall’Europa. «Ho chiesto al governo – spiega il deputato Pd – di correggere con la massima urgenza il Dpr 22 marzo 2019 di “Assegnazione del numero dei seggi alle circoscrizioni per l’elezione dei membri del parlamento europeo spettanti all’Italia”, tenendo conto dell’ipotesi che alla data delle elezioni del 26 maggio il Regno Unito faccia ancora parte dell’Ue, nel qualcaso il numero di seggi spettanti all’Italia sarebbe 73, e non gia’ 76 come attualmente stabilito». I NUMERI Sono state 17 le liste presentate nella circoscrizione sud per le europee. Per due liste, però, si profila l’esclusione per mancanza del requisito del collegamento con partiti che consentirebbe di fare ameno delle firme di appoggio. Si tratta dei Gilet“ arancioni” del generale Papparlardo e del “Popolo delle Partite Iva”. Avranno tempo fino ad oggi per fare ricorso. Berlusconi capolista e Mussolini in lista per Forza Italia alle europee- Tutti i nomi dei candidati Silvio Belusconi capolista nella circoscrizione Italia Meridionale. Alessandra Mussolini in lista. Tutti i nomi dei candidati alle elezioni europee del 26 maggio:Silvio Berlusconi, Barbara Matera, Lorenzo Cese, Fulvio Martusciello, Alessandra Mussolini, Aldo Patriciello, Carmela Bellame, Fulvia Michela Caligiuri, Mariagrazia Chiusolo, Leonardo Ciccopiedi, Filomena D’Antini, Beatrice De Donato, Paola Di Salvatore, Antonio Ilardi, Giorgio Magliocca, Antonietta Pecchia, Giuseppe Pedà, Sergio Paolo, Francesco Silvestris. Tutti in corsa per un posto a Roma Andrea Pellegrino Se confermata la data del 4 marzo, i tempi per le candidature si accorceranno notevolmente. Le trattative per le coalizioni sono in fase avanzata mentre per i collegi (uninominali e proporzionali) la partita è completamente aperta in ogni partito politico. Il Pd a Salerno dovrà “convivere” – secondo un primo schema – con i socialisti e con i demitiani. Almeno un collegio uninominale dovrà andare al listone “Insieme”. Qui sicuramente c’è l’uscente Michele Ragosta in cerca di una candidatura ma ci sarebbe anche la volontà di Enzo Maraio di fare il salto di qualità, lasciando lo scranno regionale a Gianni Iuliano. Ma oltre la fusione con Verdi e pezzi di Campo progressista, i socialisti continuano a rafforzare la propria base. Si vocifera di una possibile adesione del sindaco di Cava de’ Tirreni, Enzo Servalli al Psi. Un’indiscrezione supportata dalla delusione del primo cittadino metelliano nei confronti del Partito democratico che, secondo una prima valutazione, sarebbe abbastanza in affanno nella città dei portici. Nell’agro nocerino il Partito democratico cerca una donna. Qui il centrodestra è pronto a far scendere in campo Alberico Gambino che a sua volta – se eletto – lascerà il suo posto in consiglio regionale al sindaco di Sant’Egidio del Monte Albino Nunzio Carpentieri. I democrat pensano a Federica Fortino, assessore della giunta Torquato e segretaria provinciale dei Gd. Ma in questo territorio scalpita anche Giuseppe Canfora pronto alla “giusta ricompensa” dopo la guida di Palazzo Sant’Agostino. Si vocifera, inoltre, di un possibile impegno di Mauro Maccauro. A Sud, nodo da scioglieresu Franco Alfieri che, stavolta, pare proprio non disposto a nessun passo indietro. Poi nell’elenco ci sono i nomi di Stefano Pisani (sindaco di Pollica) e Tommaso Pellegrino (sindaco di Sassano), oltre a Simone Valiante, deputato uscente che ha smentito un suo “trasloco” nella Puglia di Emiliano. Tino Iannuzzi, invece, della Camera passerà al Senato, superando così il limite dei mandati imposti dal Pd. Nel listino, invece, oltre i catapultati romani (probabile anche Maria Elena Boschi, in affanno in gran parte dell’Italia), posto blindato per Angelica Saggese mentre non si esclude anche una possibile ricandidatura di Sabrina Capozzolo. Nel centrodestra, ed in particolare in Forza Italia, è polemica sulla presenza di Franco Alfieri ad un premio organizzato un consigliere comunale di Forza Italia Battipaglia e ritratto insieme ad Enzo Fasano e Mimmo Di Giorgio. Fulvio Martusciello attacca: «Io a Alfieri non gli stringerei mai la mano». Intanto ieri mattina il Rettore di Salerno Aurelio Tommasetti ha incontrato Mara Carfagna per definire un possibile impegno. L’ex ministro dovrebbe candidarsi nel listino di Salerno ma anche in un collegio dell’area nolana. Oggi, invece, si riunisce Sinistra Italiana per indicare il nuovo percorso di costituzione di Liberi ed Uguali mentre il 22 dicembre, alle ore 17,00, al Polo Nautico si riunisce il coordinamento di Mdp. Amatruda: «De Luca in gravi difficoltà Forza Italia deve essere protagonista» “Vincenzo De Luca e la sua corte dei miracoli sono in grande difficoltà. Da Salerno parta, diventi più forte, l’azione di denuncia e di costruzione di un progetto credibile ed innovativo. Forza Italia ha il dovere di essere protagonista”. Lo dichiara Gaetano Amatruda, vice coordinatore provinciale di Forza Italia Salerno. “Ci sono – aggiunge – tutte le condizioni per avviare una stagione di crescita e successi. In questa direzione assume grande rilievo la posizione del coordinatore provinciale, il senatore Vincenzo Fasano”. “Per ripartire non ci dovranno essere, in occasione dei prossimi appuntamenti, rendite di posizione da tutelare. La disponibilità al passo indietro aiuta il rinnovamento per avviare davvero una nuova fase” conclude Amatruda. Amatruda è dunque in totale sintonia con l’europarlamentare Fulvio Martusciello. “Il passo indietro, annunciato da Enzo Fasano – dichiara infatti in una nota Fulvio Martusciello europarlamentare di Forza Italia – va nella giusta direzione del rinnovamento. Con questo atteggiamento responsabile, che non costruisce posizioni precostituite, si farà un passo in avanti. Occorre aprirsi alle nuove energie, ricordarsi di chi si è candidato alle regionali, in situazioni difficili, guardare ai tanti sindaci che vogliono entrare. Ai dirigenti ed ai militanti che garantiscono impegno. Gli apporti che abbiamo dato – conclude Martusciello – sono solo i primi di una lunga serie volti a rafforzare e a rinnovare”. «Opposizione più forte, scardiniamo il Sistema» Andrea Pellegrino Berlusconi allenatore o bomber? «Può fare tutto». Fulvio Martusciello scalda i motori e, in tour in provincia di Salerno, prepara la prossima campagna elettorale. Il primo obiettivo: «Scardinare e sconfiggere il Sistema Salerno».Questa, dice Martusciello, «è la strada per vincere le elezioni. Occorre una forte opposizione a Vincenzo De Luca e sto tentando di mettere a confronto i due sistemi di governo e di antigoverno: quello di De Luca e quello di Caldoro». Onorevole Martusciello, per combattere De Luca ci vuole un’opposizione sveglia, vivace. Gli argomenti non mancano… «Questo mi fa rabbia alle volte, proprio perché gli argomenti non mancano. Ci sarebbe tanto da scrivere e tanto su cui intervenire sul sistema Salerno. Dobbiamo avere la consapevolezza che il livello del confronto, su ciò che sta accadendo in questi anni a Salerno, va alzato e in qualche modo la mia presenza serve anche a questo. Abbiamo la possibilità di cogliere i suggerimenti che ci arrivano da pezzi di classe dirigente di Forza Italia perché alcuni sono davvero impegnati nell’opposizione». Il Sistema Salerno è ormai Sistema Campania: le dichiarazioni ed il metodo utilizzato da Franco Alfieri, attuale capostaff del governatore, per imporre la propria candidatura al Parlamento

  • Italy Failed the Test | International Affairs at LSE
    6/19/2017 Italy Failed the Test | International Affairs at LSE Mar 7 2013 Italy Failed the Test LSE IDEAS By Dr. Giulia Bentivoglio, Visiting Fellow at LSE IDEAS. The Italian elections of 24­25 February 2013, gave Italians their first chance to vote after the ill­fated experiment of Mario Monti’s “technocratic government”. These elections were a test in many senses: they were a test for the parties involved to show signs of actual change and detachment from a political system that urgently needed to be cleaned up. They were a test of credibility for the country as a whole, to indicate to its European partners that it was able to achieve the political stability essential to Italy’s economic recovery. Finally, the elections were a test on the Eurozone and the feasibility of continuing austerity. A low electoral turnout (75%) and a widespread protest vote as a reaction to austerity measures resulted in political gridlock and a hung parliament. The Democratic Party (PD) polled the largest share of the vote but failed to gain majority in the Senate: as its leader Pier Luigi Bersani put it, “we did not win, although we came first”. The real winners were Beppe Grillo and Silvio Berlusconi. Grillo’s Five Stars Movement (M5S), formed just three years ago, became the largest party in the Chamber of Deputies, an unprecedented success achieved by a campaign boasting the prophetic name the “tsunami tour” which focused on the new social media and on a populist rhetoric. Berlusconi’s party (People of Freedom – PdL) lost 17% of its voters, but this was the best result possible from someone who seemed to be politically dead in December 2012.

  • European Parliament Mid-Term Election: What Impact on Migration Policy?
    www.epc.eu 16 March 2017 01/12/2009 European Parliament mid-term election: what impact on migration policy? Marco Funk As the dust settles from the European Parliament’s (EP) mid-term election held on 17 January 2017, migration continues to top the EU’s agenda. The election of Antonio Tajani to replace Martin Schulz as president of the EP brought the institution under the leadership of the European People’s Party (EPP) after a power-sharing agreement with the socialist S&D was cancelled and replaced by a last-minute deal with the liberal ALDE group. A closer look at Tajani’s election and associated reshuffle of key internal positions suggests little change in the EP’s course on migration in the short term. However, upcoming developments may significantly change Parliament dynamics in the longer term. New president, different style Antonio Tajani is considered by many to be a less political, less activist president compared to Martin Schulz. The former is also apparently less willing to insist on a prominent role for the EP than the latter. Furthermore, Tajani shares the same conservative political affiliation as the heads of the European Commission and European Council, which makes ideological confrontations with Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk even less likely than under Schulz, who had few disagreements with either. While Schulz already maintained good relations with Juncker and closely coordinated responses to the large influx of refugees in 2015/2016, Tajani is even better placed to cooperate effectively due to his previous Commission experience and ideological alignment. Despite Tajani’s association with Italy’s populist conservative leader Silvio Berlusconi, he has adopted a more mainstream conservative political identity, which ultimately won him the EPP’s support.

    LSE European Politics and Policy (EUROPP) Blog: Silvio is back: Understanding Berlusconi’s latest revival ahead of the Italian general election Page 1 of 3 Silvio is back: Understanding Berlusconi’s latest revival ahead of the Italian general election Despite currently being banned from holding office, Silvio Berlusconi is well placed to have a key role in the Italian general election in March. Fabio Bordignon outlines the factors behind his latest comeback, and how his Forza Italia party could play a central part in the formation of the next Italian government. In the past when we Italian scholars of political science met our colleagues at international conferences, it was always the same question: why Berlusconi? How could a media tycoon, facing multiple-trials and allegations, an unlikely politician later known for his ‘bunga bunga’ parties, have become the leading figure in one of the largest western democracies? The astonishment of the international observer was particularly acute in 2011, when Berlusconi, hit by personal scandals and by the Eurozone debt crisis, resigned as prime minister. Now the world has changed, and it’s full of Berlusconi-style politicians. But at a time when political leaders seem to fade as fast as they rise, Berlusconi is still there. The ‘Eternal Leader’ has survived the collapse of his last government, a ban from the Italian Parliament, and a seemingly irreversible electoral (and personal) decline. And now the 81-year-old leader is ready for a new comeback. He cannot be a candidate, but he still leads (owns) his personal party, Forza Italia. And he could win with his centre-right coalition at the Italian general election in March.

  • Read the Joint Statement
    Dr Stella Kyriakides Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, European Commission And Dr Thierry Breton Commissioner for Internal Market, European Commission And: Dr Rafael Mariano Grossi IAEA Director Subject: Transport of Radiopharmaceuticals in the European Union Brussels, 22th April 2020 Dear Commissioners, Dear Director during this pandemic period, the outcome of which is unknown, we must continue to ensure that services in the hospitals are provided to patients who require radiopharmaceutical care. Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs that are used for imaging diagnosis and therapy. Radiopharmaceuticals are crucial to provide CT scans for COVID-19 patients (SPECT/CT and PET/CT imaging) as well as for fragile patient populations, such as cancer and cardiac patients. Due to the radioactive part the shelf life is extremely limited and measured in hours and days. Whereas most regular drugs have shelf lives of months or years and can be produced in mass quantities, radiopharmaceuticals are produced in much smaller quantities and have to be produced for delivery just in time. This is often the day after production, and they are given to a patient usually on that day. In case of a imaging procedure, the scan also takes place the same day. This means that in the EU countries in over 90% of cases the time between the patient dose being ordered, produced, shipped and the actual diagnostic or therapeutic test is 24 hours. Furthermore, these short timeframes are extremely important since a radiopharmaceutical that cannot be used on the day of delivery and preparation in the hospital must be discarded. These days, the number of controls at the borders have seriously increased (potentially causing delays) and the administrative demands are sometimes hard to follow and fulfil.

  • Declaration Unfinished Justice: Restitution and Remembrance (Following European Conference on Restorative Justice Brussels, 26Th April 2017)
    26th June 2017 Declaration Unfinished Justice: Restitution and Remembrance (Following European Conference on Restorative Justice Brussels, 26th April 2017) Preamble It is now more than seventy years after the Holocaust (Shoah) in which six million Jews – seventy-five percent of the Jewish population of Europe – were murdered. Only a small fraction of private and communal immovable and movable property illegitimately seized from Jewish victims has been returned or compensated to rightful owners, heirs, or to the Jewish people at large. Many Holocaust survivors live in poverty and without adequate social care, and their social welfare needs are expanding rapidly as they age. In light of the above We, members of the European Parliament, affirm the moral responsibility of European Union member states to advance Holocaust-era property restitution. We also declare our enduring commitment to the provision of adequate and immediate social welfare support for Holocaust survivors, the demarcation, protection and preservation of Jewish cemeteries, mass graves and other burial sites, the preservation of Jewish heritage sites, and the promotion of Holocaust education, research and remembrance. We recognize the commitment of the European Parliament to restitution of Holocaust-era assets as called for in previous resolutions of the Parliament and reaffirm past international principles and declarations that reflect a consensus for the restitution of Holocaust-era assets. Considering the urgency of the matter We call upon Member States of the European Union to reaffirm their commitment to resolve remaining issues on restitution and compensation of looted property, in accordance with the principles of the Terezin Declaration on Holocaust Era Assets and Related Issues, and to address the growing social welfare needs of Holocaust survivors.
