NEWS BRIEFS WORLD CUP (FROM ITALIAN NEWSPAPERS AND CORNER OTHER PUBLICATIONS) with Christian A. Guarino Compiled by Orazio Z. Buttafuoco The History of the Italian Soccer Team — Part I NAVIGATING THROUGH THE COMPLEXITY OF ITALIAN POLITICS. Many of the people who read the Italian news- papers find considerable difficulty to understand the com- plexity of new words, in short, an advanced new language. More so when foreign, new words, mostly English, are used. Here are just a few samples. Over the last year, or so, new expressions such as ‘Golden Rule,’ which was introduced by the economist and former Premier Mario Monti, entered the Italian political discourse. The phrase would have provided a real flexibility with regard to the public expenditures, i.e. to take productive invest- ments, from the deficit, in order to guarantee that the entire expenditure for all the co-financial projects — with Europe — wouldn’t constitute an onus on the assets of the public treasury. This Italian idea, however, found no favorable echo in Europe, for it was seen as an ‘economic excess’ at a time when the overall economy looked gleam. Let’s now explain the ‘Pact of Stability’ which is possible when the flexibility applied to those countries, of the European Com- munity, that are ‘virtuous,’ i.e., they have a deficit under control: below the 3%. We now discuss the ‘Fiscal Com- pact,’ which is the close scrutiny of the public funds, which sets up a new rule: beside the deficit that should be low, the debt must also be low. Whenever the rhythm of the Coach Vittorio Pozzo (center) lifting the Jules Rimet Trophy with the 1934 Italian reduction isn’t adequate, monetary sanctions follow.
